Um Casal do Barulho

Darlings(Shatjes)-cast are back. Only this time the trouble is not due to the kids but between the parents. Danny Gisbers finds out her husband cheats at their wedding-anniversery.

A private war starts between them, going along with a fight about who will have the kids. This results in a lot of slap- stick and some funny ,sometimes hillaric, scenes. A typical dutch 80's movie.

This comedy has a sense of drama in itself. Seeing it many times, you discover a serious note of a couple's divorcing, having children nothing outstanding with the fight between their parents, but are though the victim. When you want to feel the environment and sphere of Holland in the eighties: Go and see it! A lot of actors, playing not significant roles in this movie are nowadays well know good actors in famous soap series in Holland. There are typical one-liners in it, I on day-to-day basis use.

Nice item: The children of the maker of this movies, have got the same names as the children playing in "mom is mad"

Typical Dutch movie from the eighties.. almost made without any interest for the viewer, the low budget is visible (Is it really necessary to make the sign for 'Vandenberg Air Base' from cardboard?) Peter Faber, as usual, is acting like he reads his lines off a piece of paper right before the take (Which he probably does) The usual problem with Dutch movies of this era.. lots of cursing, nonfunctional sex, idiotic hyperbole and the movie radiates, nay shouts: CHEAP! Interaction, dialog, props: amateurish. The reason i give this movie a score of 1 is that i look at it just to be annoyed.

Horrible.
