Luizenmoeder - De film

No political correctness. A breath of fresh air.

Also contains am important message to all the sheeple out there.

Watch and enjoy!

The series was great. So incredibly funny.

At first, The movie is too slow. There's hardly a story but above all, it's not funny enough.

It's fun to see the see the characters again, but something is missing.

Luckily, after half an hour, there's a story after all and the movie improves.

Nit the lighthearted funny stuff like the series, but a solid movie with some messages.

Incredibly tone deaf, plays on racial stereotypes, Israel vs Palestine and homosexually to be a joke.

I understand if bigots enjoy this movie but movies like these are why discrimination and micro aggressions are still very much alive.

The first season of De Luizenmoeder was an unexpected hit in The Netherlands. It was funny and pointed out all the good and bad of the parents and children, the showing off of parents on the schoolyard, being tricked into a playdate etc. The second season, in my opinion, was rushed, the subjects were good but the execution led a lot to be desired, bit of a letdown.

And then this movie comes out, has no connection to the series, 1/3 of the cast is not present anymore and the movie is not only a comedy, it had turned into an 1/3 comedy, 1/3 drama and 1/3 warning for the electronic future.

The scenery is very realistic, a new manager that says "we do it together" but that is, also in real life, almost never true. The new manager does not even listen to his subordinates, but finds them a burden. Electronics are forced for the sole reason that others also do it and you cannot stay behind or you will look foolish, no discussion is possible if it's helpful of devastating.

If you're a fan of the TV show, you'll like it. But there is a reason why the film does not contain the hype the series had. The film is very chaotic, unnecessarily extravagant, and not well written. The newly introduced characters hold no extra value, there's no logical reason behind any decision made by anyone in the movie, and the characters miss some of their best characteristics they had in the series. I still believe De Luizenmoeder is a great concept, but it's clear that it's made for 20 minute episodes and not full length features.

Also, in the trailer there is a brilliant joke about Geert Wilders that somehow is not in the film. Why??
