Really awful movie
lucretius-sa18 February 2024
Most certainly the worst movie I've seen in decades ; very boring , trying to bring across a very fuzzy blasphemic narrative without making any kind of point ... useless insults , useless violence and an endless stream of humiliating dialogues again without making any point ... definitely not worth a second of anybody's time. Probably the only reason why this movie has been made , is to deliberately insult certain religious groups and to generate unnecessary tensions and controversy surrounding this worthless movie which is why some people are going to see it and walk out of the cinema like 90 % of the people did who saw the movie with me today ...

Overly Sarcastic
dave-k-88613 April 2024
If you're planning to head to the cinema to watch this movie, be prepared to feel bored by the excessive amount of sarcasm by the end.

Overall, the film satirizes traditional religious figures while taking the opportunity to thoroughly mock the good old days of the past era.

By the end, I was already feeling bored, checking my watch, hoping for the 90 minutes to run out so I could leave the theater.

Reflecting on it now, the only takeaway was "listen to your family properly, don't think you can use other excuses to avoid them, or they won't treat you as family anymore."

If you ask me if I recommend watching this movie in the cinema, I would sincerely tell you: "No, wait for it to be on streaming platforms."

Too busy, rushed parody comedy, which is therefore no longer so comical itself.
Krazy House is a new comedy directed, written and partly produced by Steffen Haars and Flip Van Der Kuil, the creators of the New Kids TV series and subsequent films.

Christian househusband Bernie (Nick Frost) and his career wife Eva (Alicia Silverstone) have a typical sitcom family like those from many sitcoms in the 90s.

When problems arise in the house, Russian handymen come to help, but these handymen turn out to be criminals looking for a hidden fortune. This is how they deceive Bernie and his family until they find this fortune. As a result, Bernie must cautiously resist to protect his family and get the criminals out of his house.

With this comedy they seem to have playfully made a spoof comedy film in the New Kids style. For example, they playfully try to make sitcoms such as Married with Children, Friends and Goede Tide, Bad Times somewhat ridiculous with exaggeratedly different moments from these sitcoms. In addition, they also use exaggerated, gory moments, making it a bit like live-action versions of animated comedies like Family Guy or South Park.

The last good spoof comedy seems far away and other spoof comedies such as the last Scary Movie, A Haunted House or Fifty Shades of Black just didn't really work as successfully anymore. In this new spoof comedy, lame, clichés from sitcoms are made more ridiculous. Making good sitcoms ridiculous is not that easy, because most of them still work well and are loved by fans. Behind most of these sitcoms are also good teams of writers, who have come up with their own unique comedy styles. Most of them managed to come up with creative stories with their own form of comedy. For example, most of these sitcoms are more comedic than this spoof comedy itself tries to be. This spoof comedy remains on a predictable side in terms of comedy. The final story remains difficult to follow due to the messy aspects, which means that the rest of the comedy is somewhat lost.

This is also due to the messier aspects of this comedy itself. This one tries to go through too many different things too quickly, and then makes them a bit ridiculous. This film was filmed in the fast pace of 22 days, so the directors don't really seem to have taken the time to look back carefully and critically at their final film.

Original and fun movie!
davyraitt13 February 2024
Just saw this movie in the theatres as a mystery movie. I think not knowing what the movie was gonna be about and not seeing a trailer was a positive for this movie.

This movie was quite an absurd ride. It starts of like a sitcom (reminded me of Married with Children) and then some evil russian show up in the sitcom. Most of the absurdity worked for me but at the end I think it was a bit too much.

There were some underlying themes about religion and faith, but I didn't think much of it. Might just be goint over my head ;-).

I think the creators can be proud of making a very original and funny movie. 10/10 for creativity and look forward to seeing more from the creators.

A delightful romp that ingeniously blends the nostalgic appeal of 90s sitcoms with a fresh and engaging twist of dark comedy. The film masterfully transitions from familiar, lighthearted scenes to more surprising and dynamic elements, creating a captivating narrative full of unexpected turns. This creative venture brings a unique flavor to the comedy genre, offering a clever and entertaining experience that stands out for its originality and spirited execution. It's an enjoyable and vibrant film that promises to charm and engage audiences with its bold and inventive approach. Perfect for those seeking a film that breaks the mold with humor and unexpected depth!
