Krummerne - Det er svært at være 11 år

I took my young son to see a film here, during the Easter break. Against my best wishes, he REALLY wanted to see Krummerne - Det er svært at være 11 år.

As an American, I was not familiar with the history of this franchise, so I went into it with no or low expectations.

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised!

Sure it was a little over the top, but I found myself laughing at some of the obvious over-the-top-jokes, unlike some of the other "family films" that try to weave in adult themes, that just seem forced.

This film had a familiarity to it that I truly enjoyed. I especially liked the way the music score played in this film, it really helped to fill out the story.

The larger message in this film was also something, I felt as parents, that we can all relate to.

I've watched the rest of the movies staring family Krumborg, and each is in its own way fun and amusing with nice acting and a well defined plot.

This latest episode is probably one of the worst family movies I've ever seen. Poor acting by mostly unknown but also well-known actors - and a plot that only as a result of the over-the-top dramatic music is so simple and almost boring.

If you want to spend a couple of hours enjoying yourself with a nice movie at the cinema, this is not the one!
