Uma Família Muito Brega

Although a poor film it contains more than enough good jokes, and that is just why it was being made.If you like the rude dutch sense of humor this would be a movie you certainly like. Lots of influence of Brutti, Scorchi e Cattivi from Ettore Scola. If you think flodder is a bit corny, go and see this tasteful movie.

Well, at first you are astonished and laugh about the Flodder-Family. But if the movie continues you will see, that the freaks on this story are not the Family. It may be the truth that, to identify freaks positively, you have to confront them with other freaks.

Works still after 32 years. One of my favourite movies.

Dick Maas made and wrote his first of the Flodders-trilogy as a brilliant comedy without knowing that there would be two sequels which were not so strong. The housing problem in Holland in cities like Amsterdam or Rotterdam is acute and there is above all the problem of illegal immigrants. And what more is: living on a belt or next to a chemical plant can be dangerous. Flodder is more than a simple comedy: it is also a social satire of the cool Dutch bourgeosie who wants to be isolated of the big towns where there is criminality and so on but who goes to the warm countries during holidays to change their mediocre existence. Take Yolanda (Apollonia van Ravenstein), she is bored by her neighbourhood where never happens anything - there are f.i. no "café's" - and tired of her husband Kolonel Wim Kruisman (Herbert Flack) and she starts a sexual adventure with Johny Flodder (Huub Stapel). Alcoholism is also a subject of the movie: the alcohol is made at home and consumed in high quantities and whisky is drunk in floods by Kolonel Kruisman. This comedy is unsurpassed and is at the same time a sociological study of the escape out of town of the high-class citizens to the outskirts.

I have to admit, I have not seen much of this New Kids Nitro thing, so I'm just riffing on that show here. What I have seen though is all the 3 Flodder films that were released and the first one is the best of the bunch. Fish out of water and all that stuff.

Now the humor is quite mad, raunchy and really way beyond anything someone would call political correct - do not even touch this if you have issues with that subject matter. Because nudity, swearing (foul language) and many more things that are offensive are included. This is what you get, but the movie is true to itself and it has an inner logic (something that gets compromised even in the first sequel) ... Juvenille anarchic - and just couldn't care less if or how many it offends along the way.

Flodder the movie is a great comedy movie with a wonderful concept and great leading actors. after i watch it 50 times it is still very funny. Because Flodder is still popular there are still rumors to reboot Flodder, That is a totally obsolete idea. Because you get an exact copy like Flodder was. The concept Flodder is also very obsolete especially after more than 30 years.
