Luizenmoeder - De film

As a fan of the Luizenmoeder serie I was really looking forward to this movie. BUT this movie is a lot of drama and not funny at all. It is not as realistic and funny as the series. The storyline is also weak. It is also a shame that one of the main funny characters (school director) is not in this movie.

The first season of De Luizenmoeder was an unexpected hit in The Netherlands. It was funny and pointed out all the good and bad of the parents and children, the showing off of parents on the schoolyard, being tricked into a playdate etc. The second season, in my opinion, was rushed, the subjects were good but the execution led a lot to be desired, bit of a letdown.

And then this movie comes out, has no connection to the series, 1/3 of the cast is not present anymore and the movie is not only a comedy, it had turned into an 1/3 comedy, 1/3 drama and 1/3 warning for the electronic future.

The scenery is very realistic, a new manager that says "we do it together" but that is, also in real life, almost never true. The new manager does not even listen to his subordinates, but finds them a burden. Electronics are forced for the sole reason that others also do it and you cannot stay behind or you will look foolish, no discussion is possible if it's helpful of devastating.

Incredibly tone deaf, plays on racial stereotypes, Israel vs Palestine and homosexually to be a joke.

I understand if bigots enjoy this movie but movies like these are why discrimination and micro aggressions are still very much alive.

No political correctness. A breath of fresh air.

Also contains am important message to all the sheeple out there.

Watch and enjoy!

The series was great. So incredibly funny.

At first, The movie is too slow. There's hardly a story but above all, it's not funny enough.

It's fun to see the see the characters again, but something is missing.

Luckily, after half an hour, there's a story after all and the movie improves.

Nit the lighthearted funny stuff like the series, but a solid movie with some messages.
