OK movie, 25 December 2004

Author: Branko Collin from Amsterdam

Pietje Bell left me with the same impression as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone, which is: nice images, good adventure, so-so acting of the leads and sometimes irksome dialogue.

The Rotterdam of the 1920s was convincingly portrayed. There was a cartoonesque feel to the decor, which made it easier to focus on the story. The nose of aunt Cato was hard to believe in though, and drew attention to the fact that I was watching a film. Also the newspaper manager acted too 'modern' for my taste.

I did have a bit of a hard time believing the sister wanting to date the gruesome Joseph. Which, in a sense, is a compliment for the two actors, because they managed to convincingly portray good and bad.

Good family-movie, bit too long though, 28 November 2002

Author: Stefan Tetelepta from Holland

I liked it. It's a typical family-movie in a old Dutch setting. Sometimes the jokes are really boring, but overall a 7/10. Perfect for kids with parents.
