An average movie

When I saw the trailer for this movie, I really thought it looked lame and stupid but, somehow, I still ended up watching this. Personally, I have never been a really big fan of those comedies focusing on some moronic characters so I wasn’t sure if I was the right audience for this. And, indeed, at first, I didn’t care much about the whole thing. I mean, it is basically a succession of swearing (‘kut’ which means pretty much fuck in Dutch comes out every 30 seconds I think) and random violence involving some utterly stupid Dutch rednecks. Still, after a while, it kind of got to me and I couldn't help laughing at the preposterous scenes involving those guys. There was also a nice touch when they started to be followed by the local TV station and you got to see the people at home following their stupid adventures (I mean, you eventually wonder who is really stupid. Those 5 dudes or the people following them watching the TV show? It is one of the reason why I really resent the current wave of real TV which started as a matter of fact in the Netherlands with ‘Big Brother’). Anyway, even though it was really stupid, it was still actually rather entertaining and I guess it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
