Flodder in Amerika!

OK, I'm going to be short on this one: it's a comedy about the Netherlands' favourite antisocial family that's sent to the United States just to get rid of them. What follows is a series of stereotypes and cliches about both the Dutch and the Americans. Those stereotypes are sometimes funny, mostly stupid and almost without any kind of subtlety. Not recommended for people with weak stomachs or any kind of sophistication, moderately enjoyable for the "average viewer"

*1/2 out of **** stars

Flodder in amerika! Is a hilarious sequel to the original Flodder film, following the infamous Flodder family as they travel to the United States. The film is packed with crude humor, outrageous situations, and sharp social commentary that is both entertaining and provocative.

The acting is strong, with each member of the Flodder family bringing their unique charm and comedic talents to the screen. The film doesn't shy away from vulgarity, but it does so in a way that feels true to the characters and their absurd adventures. While the humor may not be suitable for children, it's perfect for those who appreciate a more irreverent style of comedy.

Overall, flodder in amerika! Is a fun and entertaining film that delivers plenty of laughs. It's a great follow-up to the original, capturing the same spirit of humor and anarchy. I give it an 8/10 for its humor, strong performances, and the unique charm of the Flodder family.

Yes, it's more of the same, yes they air it too often but after a long day one can relax with jokes that are so phoned in you don't need your brain. Look for subtlety? Look for a nice storyline? Look somewhere else. In dire need of some low-key fun? Enjoy!

In this somewhat inferior sequel the Flodder family finds itself in America, where they get into antics that are fairly identical to the ones from the original. They even end up in yet another car chase with bad guys, what are the odds? The only difference is that neither of the cars ends up in a swimming pool this time around, making the scene about a hundred times less awesome. The son isn't spying on female tennis players anymore, now he's turned to basketball. And then some crooks catch him and want to beat him up, just like in you've guessed it, the first one. There are some new jokes that work, but mostly the makers really just relied on the audience having low expectations and wanting more of the same. Which I guess isn't a particularly dumb move. If you liked the first one you'll like the sequel too, because it involves the same elements (crude jokes, action scenes, Tatjana Simic naked), but overall it seems rather phoned in.

Think again. It's like sweeping something under the rug - the dirt is still there. It's just somewhere you can't see it. It doesn't mean it won't come back (be afraid - or joyous, depends on how you feel about them) - quite the opposite. So Flodders are "gone" but we follow them and don't believe for one minute they behave differently in America.

They are the same crazy people and they will not abide by any laws - especially if the don't feel they apply for them. Gratuitous nudity and a lot of swearing - we've become aware of that. But there are inconsistencies in their behaviour now - the sister previously pimped out now considered conveniently something to shield from men - just to pimp her out again later without blinking. Yes some may not even care, but if the movie breaks its own logic, no matter if it is for comedic purposes, I dissaprove. Having said that, there is "fun" to be had, if you are not easily offended
