I love this movie so much

Expected more

Excellent but underrated film

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I had a big interest in this movie, because I have seen a lot of comedies from USA, Fance and Russia. I wondered how it is gonna be from Netherlands. Shortly... plot was with no surprises: they lost their jobs (some because of their fault, some, because of the crisis), refused to pay anymore just because they had no sense of responsibility . Actually in the middle of movie I had the feeling that script writer had no more other interesting ideas and that's why he played the old "movie in movie" joke. Actors were incredibly good. Soo stupid...omg!I really believed them. I think that, if characters of the movie are stupid, then why the script has to be the same, i. m. whit no sense of reality? So: script - undone, actors - great!

The economic crisis has hit the Netherlands hard, especially for the New Kids (Richard, Rikkert, Barrie, Robbie and Gerrie) from Masskantje. When they lose their unemployment benefits, they in turn refused to pay for anything. Their civil disobedience is captured by a local newsman; starting a local movement to not pay for anything. The authorities try to respond with escalating force but the boys respond with increased levels of idiocy.If you enjoy your comedy with manly moustaches, mullets, horking, swearing, white trash but want a European vibe set to Techno music, then New Kids Turbo is the film for you. The New Kids are from a TV show on Comedy Central Netherlands. The only comparable would be Showcase Cable show Trailer Park Boys from Canada. It's not surprising that it's also shown on Dutch Comedy Central channel as well.*excerpt from www.cinemaliberated.com

Why this movie is such a great success can be derived from the extremely negative comments above. This isn't a movie of great acting, screenplay, story or something which usually decides whether a movie is good or not. This movie shows insight into the cultural emptiness of the dutch lower classes. Because of that it's full of culture and refers mostly to the trends in the nineties. The hardcore music, the sportswear, the mopeds, the low sentence and even the 'opel manta' are examples of that. All dutch people sometimes have dinner at a 'friture' which significantly differs from a fast-food restaurant, though its purpose is the same. So that makes even the 'friture' part of dutch culture. Everything is tremendously recognizable for the nineties generation. The secret of this success lies in the way the characters were already formed and set for action in the short-series, which were broadcast two years before this release. Everybody knew what was coming and hoped it would be just like these series. Well it was... even better... or worse, whatever. Why are these guys so hilarious? Because they are serious... They had lousy jobs, no girlfriends, no perspective. If you will think the movie over, you should notice that these boys hardly make any jokes. But they act so empty-minded that even the dumbest person on earth would say: "These guys are really stupid." But if you look closer, you'll discover that they aren't really dumb. They are just utilizing their freedom (maybe dutch freedom) by drinking beer, smoking weed, stealing, harassing people and swearing all the time. The ultimate freedom: Parisiting on the dull establishment. Everybody wants to do that now and then, more or less. Retired millionaires also parasite on the dull establishment in some sense, don't they? These poor fellows also like doing nothing all day, don't you understand???? In a deeper meaning they reflect the desire of everybody who is part of the dull establishment and isn't a millionaire. In some way it's even a feel-good-movie, for people who can handle the rudeness of the boys from Maaskant.

I didn't expect to go see a 'good' movie. I was familiar with the concept. I am actually living in Brabant, nearby the little town where this movie takes place. I do like a good, cheap joke. I was ready to rumble..Let me start off by saying that this movie is a waste of time. Even worse. This is not a 'good' bad movie. It's a 'bad' bad movie. A real story and plot are nowhere to be found. Nothing more than a lousy excuse to fill up an hour and a half with spitting, eating, yelling, fighting, shooting, etc. The rest of the movie is just terrible dialogue, one of the worst 'plot-jokes' I have ever seen, bad acting.. On top of that, this lousy concept turns out to be amazingly popular! Everyone in the theatre was screaming and yelling just like the idiots on screen. They turned the Cinema theatre into a battlefield. Some of them were yelling at a girl, calling her the worst names. It's the kind of audience that you don't want in your cinema theatre. Unfortunately, they'll have to live with it for quite some time..This movie is gonna be an enormous hit, without a doubt. Thanks to the empty minded mob. 'New Kids Turbo' reaches bodom depths. The lowest I have ever seen.
