one of my absolute favorites!

Absolutely amazing

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This film appears to be a modern interpretation of the Danish classic "De Pokkers Unger" (1947) by Bjarne and Astrid Henning-Jensen. That was the first actual family movie with excellent scenographic work for its time.I recently saw a very short excerpt and there was a scene where one of the children finds a lighter belonging to one of the crooks. This scene and the movie's overall premise is very reminiscent of the more recent film.If it is indeed a case of a remake, it's perhaps a bit odd that the movie's creators do not recognise their "source of inspiration".
