Ome Cor

High hopes,....expected some rotterdams humor but it didnt make the expectations at all. All big dutch actors but not the movie. It was not funny the story wasnt even catchy. I watched it till the end hoping for it to get better, but till the end it stayed like it had begun. Standard jokes which werent even funny. They could have done much better. Such a shame, it was not worth the time, not even on a rainy Sunday afternoon. I dont understand the rating which was given for this movie. Half of the rating was already too high. Really a disappointment and unsatisfying feeling afterwards. Can somebody explain to me where the 7,5 comes from? What did i miss??

The film ome Cor is a very nice film because of its simplicity and purity. Although the story is not great, it is just a nice film, in which the actors and actresses play believably. It is pure Rotterdam. Superb images of the city. The very fact that the film was realised with few resources makes me respect the team that made this film. On top of that, part of the proceeds go to charity. For me, Uncle Cor is the most sympathetic film I have seen in years. I want to compliment the makers on the film and hope a lot of people will watch it.

People who speak more negatively about the film do not, in my opinion, fully understand the Rotterdam mentality & humour.... Come to Rotterdam sometime!

I hope there will be a part 2 of Uncle Cor soon.

This movie was made out of an idea with next to no budget or even a proper script. It is clearly made to have fun and a lot of Dutch actors joined in the fun by having a small role. The story is simple, but the overall quality is quite good.

Watching the movie, you see Ome Cor slowly getting himself in more and more trouble. He has himself to blame, but it seems the world is just a bit too complicated for him. He is lovable, so everybody knows him. At some point in time he seems to have scammed pretty much everybody (mostly not paying small bills or loans). Some still tolerate him and see him as the character he is, but he is all out of credit with most.

If you can enjoy the character it is a fun movie to watch. The movie breaths Rotterdam in both the settings, but also in the characters played in the movie.

Beautiful movie. Martin deserves a gouden kalf for his performance. Laugh, cry, black comedy. For a Dutch movie great played. The film takes you into the life of uncle Cor. Well acted by all the actors, beautiful images of Rotterdam. The movie gives you a smile and a tear. Really well made for a low budget film. This film deserves to be embraced by a large audience. I don't understand why it is only seen a couple of times in a cinema. It really must be showed in all cinemas in Holland. Well directed, well acted and a great story. Forget the critical reviews, these are incorrect and based on nothing. Just see for yourself.

Ome Cor garners a middling 5/10 for its blend of Rotterdamse humor and portrayal of everyday life, although it falls short in terms of acting quality. The show has its moments of genuine humor but is let down by subpar performances.

The series tries to capture the essence of Rotterdam's culture, often succeeding in delivering local humor that resonates with those familiar with the city's vibes. The concept of highlighting everyday scenarios with a comedic twist is appealing, and there are segments in the show that genuinely bring out a laugh.

However, the heavy reliance on well-known Dutch personalities (BN'ers) doesn't quite pay off. While the intention might be to draw in viewers with familiar faces, their acting often feels forced and unconvincing, detracting from the authenticity and relatability of the scenes.

In conclusion, Ome Cor is a show with potential, boasting a unique local flavor of humor that could be very appealing. Nonetheless, the overall execution, particularly the acting, leaves much to be desired. It's a show that might offer some laughs but doesn't consistently deliver the quality expected of a well-rounded comedy series, hence the average rating.
