Watch Kurt Turns Evil For Free

It is a performances centric movie

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The author Erlend Loe's stories about Kurt the forklift operator make some of the most successful novels for children and adults alike in recent Norwegian literature. Naturally this led to a CGI animated adaptation of two of his stories combined in one less than hour and a half long film.Kurt is a man with short temper, nostalgia for "the good old days" and a quirky family (wife is a successful architect, older son is a snob, younger one is intellectually far beyond his boyhood and daughter is a metalhead). Their traits as well as the world around them that's just a bit off, make for some very involving adventures. This time Kurt feels unappreciated by his neighbors, wife and family. When a very successful snobbish doctor moves in next door, Kurt snaps and decides to outdo him in the game of success even if that means running for the mayor's office or becoming a doctor.Although it does have a lot of social commentary jabs, this is first and foremost a story about family and what really means to be successful. If you can view it in that light you will enjoy it. However, certain "little things" (like the sailor character) might insult some. Considering the books did the same thing, guess you could say it's just being true to the source material.If you want to see a family film (not for the youngest, though) or just want to see an interesting although goofy and slightly racy adventure try it out. It could have been better (it does tend to be a bit hectic occasionally) but it's a good first try.If you like the books definitely see for yourself how this adaptation turned out and if you don't like Kurt's stories this film won't change your opinion.If you've never heard about Kurt, it's not a problem. You don't have to know anything about the books to be able to follow or enjoy this first Kurt's big screen adventure.
