Wiplala

Rubbish film. Boring, bland and predictable. Not in the same league as the "Honey, I shrunk the kids!" movies that its thumbnail and international title rips off.

Similarly to Sven I had high hopes for this film and just like him I feel that I was left disappointed. The CGI is decent for a European film, but the writing is less than impressive—to say the least. Characters are behaving irrationally and the whole plot is full of illogical twists. Why was it necessary to deviate from the book that much? Also I did not like the choice of the actor to portray Wiplala - in the book he comes across as a nerdy character and younger/slimmer than Géza Weisz is/was.

However, for someone not too familiar with the book it's an acceptable entertainment and non-Dutchies will appreciate the renowned Amsterdam landmarks featured in the film.

This is a really good movie. If you watch with your family, it is better. It is full of good values for your family and your life too. The adventures in this movie are really entertaining and fun. Plot of the movie is paced reasonably. The conflict is well displayed and my family enjoyed throughout the movie. I don't read yet the original book but I am really sure the book is excellent. I would like to read it one day. Because of that, I can give it 9/10. I would like to watch a movie like this in the future. I love to watch good movies from European countries to escape from Hollywood films and this is one of the movie I recommend to watch with your family.

Wiplala is a good movie!, Known as "Help I've Shrunk the Family!" or "Help I Shrunk the Family!", Like Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!, this is an amazing classic for kids & adults but they feature bad language, If you are a parent, be sure to click at different scenes!, Love love love it, I rate it 10 stars by the way, :-), Did you remember that these Chinese people speak English in this movie?, Well done!, Expect I love it. Great cast & crew, Very superb and the poster is well-looking. I almost like it!, For adults who do not know it, let them google "Wiplala" and show it to your child, Only recently goodly good films are a superb production.

While the American voiceovers use swear words, I am not sure how the original script read. Based on the book by Annie M. G. Schmidt, this film was a treat. I have to buy the book now. As with many Dutch family films, the characters are delightful. Someone must have read Schmidt's book, written in the 1950's, to get the idea for Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. I really wish that the distributors would have left the title for this film as The Great Wiplala. Maybe then, there would not be so many negative comparisons. This was wonderful to watch. I want to find the song from this film about birds of a feather, it was great.
