New Kids Turbo

I had a big interest in this movie, because I have seen a lot of comedies from USA, Fance and Russia. I wondered how it is gonna be from Netherlands. Shortly... plot was with no surprises: they lost their jobs (some because of their fault, some, because of the crisis), refused to pay anymore just because they had no sense of responsibility . Actually in the middle of movie I had the feeling that script writer had no more other interesting ideas and that's why he played the old "movie in movie" joke. Actors were incredibly good. Soo stupid...omg!I really believed them. I think that, if characters of the movie are stupid, then why the script has to be the same, i. m. whit no sense of reality? So: script - undone, actors - great!

To understand a part of this movie you have to know a little history. I went to school in the 90's in Eindhoven, a city near the place were the movie takes place. In that time a lot of people dressed as the people in the movie, drove the Sita scooters and drive around in Opel brand cars pretending to be the tough guys. Those people were called Johnny and Anita's. Sneakers, sport clothing and the haircuts you see in the movie were all over the place. Those were great times as we laughed a lot at their stupidity and general behavior.

So basically the writers/actors use that background and show us that kind of attitude and fashion is still alive in Maaskantje (the town were everything takes place). The actors behave like the Johnny's and Anita's back then, talking with an accent commonly used in that region. They are rebels, aggressive and lazy.

The story itself is about all of them losing their jobs and when the bills get too much and they also lose their social security money, they decide no longer to pay their bills. Of course it gets them into trouble and their aggressive behavior gets them even more deeply into trouble, up to the point were the authorities have to step in...

The movie looks good in all. Some stuff is funnier then other parts of the movie. Some cameo-appearances of (in)famous Dutch people. The actors are well know for their short video's from earlier New Kids and the Pulp Show and a lot of things will seem familiar looking at them and the movie.

I had a great laugh, it's an entertaining movie but don't have great expectations watching it. Over 1 million people went to the cinema to see this movie and it's a big hit in Germany too. The German translation is hilarious since the real actors dubbed it, not stopped by their lack of speaking German! It is no wonder this movie scores big time in Germany after movies like 'Manta Manta' and 'Manta the movie'...

ps don't watch this movie if you are a cop!

Better than all the nonsense comedies made in Hollywood(LeftW00D) 2020-21!

It was the first time I saw a Dutch comedy with this style! It was great and spectacular...

"New Kids Nitro" is very much the "Flodder" of its generation, mainly because the makers just don't give a damn. Doesn't sound very thrilling perhaps, but I mean it in the best possible way. "New Kids Nitro" is vile, ugly and meaningless, and that's just incredibly refreshing in an era where so many movies are polished until they lose all their identity. Granted, it's just the same two or three jokes over and over again (random car crash, person getting shot out of nowhere, someone being called a homo), but the amazing thing is that they just keep working and working. And from time to time the makers even bother to throw something to us that's actually creative, like the scene with the old Nazi dude (who ends up getting shot out of nowhere, but that's a given). I don't see a Palm d'Or in this movie's future, but damn is it a brilliant guilty pleasure. Instant classic.

Set your timer. You need to laugh out loud at least five time in the first couple of minutes. If you do, you will enjoy this absurd, over the top hilarious movie. If you dont, it's not your thing. I watch this movie every so often if I am in need of a laugh. I totally love the sense of humor. I love it!! Gosh... I roll of the couch every time laughing my ass off....jonguh! And the ending with the bloopers...Gosh have mercy on my soul. Tears streaming down my face!
