New Kids Nitro

I liked New Kids Turbo, so this one was kind of a no-brainer to watch. I expected more jokes, more edge, more stupid storylines. I got a really bland excuse of a film instead. I think the first 5 minutes were more or less promising, but the movie kind of lost its point after that. Maybe I had too high hopes for this one, but the jokes didn't seem as funny, the characters were even more disconnected than in the first movie and the story was just completely braindead. And while I do enjoy movies that are essentially loosely interconnected sketches, this one lacked the edge and came off as tired and kinda lame. Not worth a watch, let alone a rewatch.

New Kids Nitro attempts to build on the success of its predecessor but falls short in delivering the same level of entertainment. While the outrageous humor and chaotic characters return, the novelty that made New Kids Turbo so enjoyable has worn off. The jokes feel recycled, and the plot lacks the energy and creativity needed to keep things fresh.

That's not to say the film is devoid of fun, it still has moments of absurd hilarity that will make fans of the first movie laugh. However, the repetitiveness and weaker overall execution make it clear that the concept is starting to run out of steam. It's an okay watch for fans of the series but doesn't come close to the impact of the original.

"New Kids Nitro," directed by Steffen Haars and Flip Van der Kuil, is a sequel to "New Kids Turbo," continuing the misadventures of the outrageous friends from Maaskantje. This time, they face off against a rival group from a neighboring village, leading to even more absurd and exaggerated antics.

The film stays true to the crude and over-the-top humor that defined its predecessor, with Huub Smit, Tim Haars, and the rest of the cast delivering performances that are intentionally outlandish. The action is ramped up, and the jokes are even more outlandish, aiming to shock and amuse in equal measure.

However, "New Kids Nitro" struggles to offer more than surface-level entertainment. The plot is thin, relying heavily on its shock value and slapstick comedy. For viewers who enjoy this style, it might provide some laughs, but for others, it can feel repetitive and lacking in substance.

Overall, "New Kids Nitro" is a hit-or-miss comedy that might appeal to fans of the first film but falls short in delivering a memorable or engaging experience.

"New Kids Nitro" is clearly a movie that had to strike while the iron was still hot. The brief "New Kids"-sketches were an instant hit within Dutch pop culture and the first "New Kids"-movie was also well-received, so it makes sense that they wanted to squeeze every drop from this hype. But still, the movie could have used some more time and effort. There's barely any new material in this movie, just a lot of rehashed stuff from the previous outings. People still suddenly die out of nowhere, they still get in fights for the vaguest of reasons and everyone's still over-the-top trashy, but it's just not as funny as it used to be. How many times can you see a person get hit by a car and still laugh? Dozens of times obviously, but they're still pushing it. Granted, the makers are very aware of this and break the fourth wall on numerous occasions to mention exactly what I just said, but to be honest I don't really care for that. In-jokes are often just a lazy way of "fixing" your movie's shortcomings (take notes, Kevin Smith), even if some of this stuff is indeed pretty funny. My biggest pet peeve however is that they don't do enough with the one interesting new idea in the movie: the delightfully nonsensical addition of zombies. You sort of expect the last half hour of this movie to play out as an if possible even dryer version of "Shaun Of The Dead", but the final act is totally disappointing. Don't get me wrong, you'll laugh a lot during this movie, but you'll laugh at gags you've seen a hundred times before. Only for the die-hard fans.

Damn Mongol damn! BAM! Maaskantje vs. Schijndel man! -Censure censure-, never more work! -Censure censure-, never work! BAM! Verrektu Mongol!This movie is damn bad man. So bad I got sick of it... You could almost say that New Kids Nitro could not be worse. I give it a 10 because it was so terribly bad that I enjoyed it. Let's say we have a genre of 'Comedy Trash and laugh like hell' with this kind of movies. Zombies are an important part of the part, but why? Zombies are so old fashioned and to take just that than in a movie to make a story: is it image filling? Yes I think so.

The writers had their crate of beer and a few joints and then wrote the storyline of this film in barely fifteen minutes so do not expect lofty techniques or great story: It's like NEW KIDS you know from Part 1 and Comedy Central: just -censure- with lots of gratuitous violence, profanity and scolding ... and that's wonderful.

Super Movie to gather with friends with a bucket of beer to view this movie. I come from the 90's and I was a 'gabber' at that time: so Paul Elstak and other music are great. A big 10 for the pointlessness of this movie, I love it, great! Pity that no more new parts will come, because the creators stopped with the New Kids:-(
