Nice but not more than that

Releasing a theater piece as a film is valuable as long as it gives the theater piece more value when its filmed. In this case it doesn't. Yes the film is funny, watchable for almost every age, but it's never fantastic,it's never that you cant's stop laughing. For my daughter of 8 it was a first insight in a typical Dutch sense of humour, which was done 15 years ago much better in the weekly adventures of Theo and Theo. In fact one of the key roles of this movie is Theo from Theo and Thea.

Nice for a rainy Sunday afternoon and maybe internationally more liked because of the liberal way homosexuality is used, but not more than that. An 80 year old woman walked out the cinema with a smile, and said those good old days, where are they?
