Ron Goossens, Low Budget Stuntman

Yesterday evening I watched "Ron Goossens, Low budget Stuntman" and I am still laughing at moments. I think its is the most hilarious dutch movie I have ever seen. OK, I admit that the story line is very thin but that is compensated by the absurd humor throughout the movie and the funny references to many events that happened in the Netherlands or references to other movies (e.g. a reference to the movie "seven years a slave' by a scene where Ron is doing stunts in a movie "seven years a black Pete". If you don't understand those references, then you miss much of the humor. Also the end of the movie is totally politically incorrect with a reference to an event in the Netherlands that caused much dismay because it concerns a case about child-abuse. But I can't help it.....I laughed very loud and so did many others. Go and see it!

Unlike the preview suggested, the movie itself I found devoid of suspense, character development or even decent comic scenes - apart from the end scene joke by Henry van Loon 's character ' following his dreams'... Interesting was the high number of cameo's by Dutch movie history hotshots, probably because they too were tricked into this by the filmmakers.

You know what you can expect from the Haars brothers, and the other crew from the "New Kids" movies. You get crude jokes, blunt humor, funny moments and stunts, and of course a whole lot of talk in Brabant dialect. But boy is it funny. The cameo's are great (Waldemar Toorenstra is particularly good), and overall it's a pretty fun story. There are certain moments that seem to drag on a bit, but the rest of the movie more than makes up for that. So if you want to see a hilarious movie with politically VERY incorrect jokes (some will say offensive, but those people should just stay home and watch RTL4), go see this movie. And well, if you liked New Kids Turbo and Nitro, it's obviously a no-brainer.

Oh yeah, one more thing.... "Ik ben echt KEI-LAM!"
