The feisty owner (Loes Luca) of a rest home deals with a litigious neighbor (Paul R. Kooij) and a thief (Waldemar Torenstra) courting her daughter.

Lou Lumenick

New York Post

A campy, brightly colored musical comedy based on a popular '60s Dutch sitcom that's unlike any other film out there.

Rated: 2.5/4

New York Times

This nonsensical Dutch movie musical rides on the dubious assumption that camp and infantilism are the same thing.

Rated: 1.5/5

Ed Park

Village Voice

Styles range from cabaret to barbershop to toe-tapping bubblegum, and the rainy-day serenade at the start nods Cherbourgward, with a soupon of Low Countries sass.

The Advocate

An amiable, gumdrop- colored, frenetically campy -- if ultimately exhausting -- musical fantasy.

Sweet and innocent to a fault, the wild tangents the movie takes us on ultimately feel strange for the sake of being strange

Rated: 3/5

This was the last film I watched with Alan at the Landmark Theater in Royal Oak, Michigan, one week before his untimely death. I remember that everyone was smiling and laughing as they left the theater. I have watched it again since then, just because it's a really funny, quirky film. In the Netherlands it would probably get a G rating. In the U.S.A., I'm not so sure. Enjoy!

It's zany and campy. I love it! Has a fine cast and good songs. It's terribly funny at times, too. Totally worth owning!!

Less weird than expected, mostly fun, a little slow.

This movie warmed that little strange place in my heart where I hold my love for Dutch nurses and crazy scientists. Light-hearted musical so quirky that I couldn't stop laughing.
