Au Pair (1999 TV Movie)

Sound of Music Rip-off

[26 March 2001]

Although it's nice to see so much wealth, beautiful European cities, landscapes and the leading actress, all in the sun, the plot is as cliche as cliche can be.

A total Sound of Music rip-off, it even plays in Salzburg a while, but on the average; pretty nice to digest.

Runaway Car (1997 TV Movie)

Very bad speed rip-off

[1/10 · 26 February 2001]

Watching this movie made me think constantly; why are they making such a problem out of some broken brakes? There are a million options to slow down the car! In the movie Speed the writers a least thought of a good reason why the car wasn't able to stop...

There aren't many good things to say about this film; all the usual narrative cliche's make their appearance, the actors are very bad, the story is as leak as a sieve etc. That makes this movie a waste of time and money.

Detroit Rock City (1999)

Is this a parody?

[3/10 · 23 November 2000]

Is this movie really from 1999? Then I think is has to be a parody or something. I know it takes place in 1978 but everything these boys say is so dumb...

If it's a parody on movies from the "80, it's pretty well done, but if it's just a "90-comedy taking place in the "70, it is too bad to speak about...

Scary Movie (2000)

America! Get over your puberty!

[14 August 2000]

How much did you get paid to say that Scary Movie is hilarious? In Holland we've had these stupid, lame sex/ drugjokes two decades ago and you're still able to laugh about them? This movie is like a little child who discovers the words s**t and f**k and laughs every time he says them.

I'm only 20 but found this movie much too childish!

De peetmoeder (1977)

Slechtste film van de eeuw!

[1/10 · 14 August 2000]

Last year there were elections which was the worst Dutch film ever made; guess what, this movie won! By the way; it is almost not possible anymore to view this movie; there's only one tape left with this movie...
