... never a good idea. At least in Germany it isn't. They don't seem to be able to get the magic from their shows into a feature length movie. Same goes for this one, wherein Kaya Yanar (from "Was guckst Du?" fame/TV-Show) tries to capture the magic he had. Never really achieves it. While his skits were funny, they were also short ones. Extending the characters and their presence never works out. Or to be fair very rarely works out for him.
But he still managed to get Rutger Hauer for it (who is able to speak some of his lines and maybe dubbed them later himself too). To call his character (or any other for that matter) silly, would be an understatement. Then again Adam Sandler seems to be able to make a lot of money out of similar variables. Unfortunately (or fortunately) for Kaya he seems to fall more into the Eddie Murphy (also playing around 20 characters, roughly) category, when it comes to recent "success".

Really? One of the reviewers liked this? Really????? No way, not funny believe me, I love I mean I used to love Kaya Yanar, now he is one of the worst comedians out there. Never change a running system and he did so no Kaya for me ever again. This is such a bad movie its not to be imagined. First, the stupid songs, then something unfunny about Ranjid, much kicking in nuts, bad effects and stuff, awful enemy (really, breasts killing men????? What were they thinking or what were they smoking? I really hope this movie ruined the producers, ruined everyone that was involved into this bull***** and ruins kayas carees. Wait. It did. And yes. Thats why i did not attempt to your public presentation benefiz! You destroyed a Kids chance because you screwed with me with this movie. Why do I even bother...

This is not a comedy Movie. This is a Kaya Yanar movie. If you loved his jokes and most of all his characters, then you should be possible to enjoy it.
Its just Kaya Yanar havin fun and doing what he likes. Yeah, you can't compare it to We are the Millers, Horrible Bosses or Hangover but its not mean't to be compared to them!

I liked it! If you're seeking for witty, elevated humor then this movie is not for you. Blundering secret agent Ranjid reminded me of Rowan Atkinson's Johnny English. Main villain Freak van Dyk is played by my favorite actor Rutger Hauer, of whom I've seen more than a hundred movies.
A lot of the jokes are a little lame, but I still had to laugh a lot. As a Dutchman I appreciated the many, many jokes about Dutch habits and peculiarities. I especially liked the orthopedic clogs, orange clothed henchmen, and of course Freak van Dyk's car with very Dutch travel trailer. Production design and visual effects are very nicely done.
