Bon Bini Holland

Puerile humour is fine but then it has to be funny. This really isn't. I managed almost 40 minutes in the hope it would improve but sadly it remained terrible. Avoid.

Boring, I liked the protagonist, talented, playing countless characters, all exaggeratedly comical, it reminds me a lot of Eddie Murphy, but the style doesn't please me, worn script, it serves as a little entertainment, when there is no commitment to pay attention to the film itself...

Similar to Martin Lawrence's Big Mama's House and Eddie Murphy's Nutty Professor, one actor played a bunch of quirky characters. If you like that kind of comedy, this might be for you. Steer clear if you are worried about political correctness.

Overall story about a Curaçao con artist who takes advantage of the wrong guy on the island and is sent by his family to live with his aunt in Amsterdam. While in Amsterdam his con artist juices are flowing and he tries to set up a scam on a self-made Curaçao born businessman named Ken Maduro. He discovers that he has already met Ken's daughter, Noella, and he may be in love with her...which wrecks havoc on his conscience...until the bad guys find him.

Loaded with stereotypes and Lots of ridiculous and crazy scenes including a misunderstanding in which Robert thinks he is getting to see Oprah vs going to the opera with Noella.

Having watched the sketches of FC Kip in the past years I hoped the movie would have the funny characters and dialogue. Even though the characters were represented, the story was lame and the jokes mediocre at best. If you don't know the characters or understand Dutch, you will have no connection to the movie at all. Nice attempt from Jandino to make a movie based on the success of his series/sketches FC Kip. Sketches that I enjoyed a lot. Perhaps the sketches work as they are short and the stories can pack a punch and deliver. It was nice, but nothing more than that. And that is due to the fact that I know the series FC Kip and the characters. Give it a try, you might enjoy it.

This film builds on the personality of the main actor, who enjoyed success with a series of funny sketches set in a fast food restaurant in which he plays several ethnic characters. It was always going to be a challenge to extend short sketches into a feature-length plot.

The humor is based on very over the top, some might say offensive, stereotyping applied to most of the characters in the story. It is also pretty specific to the situation of Carribean immigrants in the Netherlands; Non-Dutch viewers might not get all references and consider it decidedly unfunny.

On the upside, the main actor in the story is quite charming (in the protagonist role; not so much in the other four roles he plays). The island of Curacao (and its capital Willemstad) are colourfully featured at the start. It is also refreshing that the scenes in the Netherlands are not set in Amsterdam, as always, but in the city of Rotterdam with its more diverse architecture.

All in all a mixed bag.
