Featured review
Waste of talent
What was Crijns thinking? Okay, he has claimed in interviews he likes this film better than his Met grote blijdschap (2001), but I bet he is the only one. That film was quite well made and made good use of the fine actors that were in it. But this?! O, my God. Kim van Kooten gives her only bad performance ever. And even worse: it looks like this film killed the carreer in movies Hans Teeuwen might have had. The most talented stand up in Holland had to see that his friend Theo Maasen (who always was considered to be tthe second greatest talent in stand up) did make it. Theo did very well AmnesiA (2001), also a small obscure film like Jezus is een Palestijn, but much better. Where Jezus is een Palestijn was slaughtered, AmnesiA was praized, as was Maassen, who then was put in the Dutch blockbuster Minoes (2001) with AmnesiA co-star Carice van Houten. (Both were very good in it, by the way)
And all Teeuwen was allowed to do in that film was a small bitpart: the voice of one of the cats. It's a shame. Maassen is now even in several TV-series and Teeuwen is never used. But I'm sure he could do better than in this film. I hope they give him a next chance. Let's just hope it's not Crijns who gives it....
