Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Lakie99 This movie is great for little children. Do you really think that children will turn in to Geert Wilders because of a movie about a flying elevator?:S If you start stuffing your child's head with illusions and stupidities that "The US is bad and the western way of life is not good", they will turn into ignorant and shallow racists themselves. This movie is made to entertain children and at that it does a good job, this movie is not about political statements. Racists (which Geert Wilders is not, he is a realist) are crafted by their parent who stuff their heads with all kinds of delusional ideas and therefor don't let the child develop it's own perspective on the world. Parent who don't let their children think for themselves create people who can't think. I ask you on behalf of your child, stop messing with his mind. thanks!!

Michel Didier There is a lot more about this movie than it being 'a slow and nice film for little children'. Besides having charming children in the protagonist roles, the support roles kick real ass. There is the garage-keeping mother of Abeltje, who doubles as an American mother who thinks to have found her lost son and turns Abeltje into a puppet. There are also many jokes on New York jet-set and Latin American revolutionaries which will be lost on 'little children', such as the German 'translator', played by a comedian who plays nazis with enthusiasm on national television and delivers his role acidly. And, of course, there is the singing teacher who teaches a bunch of mariachi's to sing a song that is recognizable as one of the greatest hits of the early 80's, with the writer of the song actually playing a mariachi, with moustache and all. Early on she teaches a gang of New York youths to sing and dance to writer Annie M.G. Schmidt's famous song De Twips, also a hit in 1966. Although little children will get some fun out of this movie, it seems primarily aimed at the Dutch moviegoer of way past the infant age. Camerawork is impeccable, FX's are convincing and the cutting pace is breathtaking. No wonder Dutch children's movies fly so high internationally these days.

MasterB I think it's a great movie for the whole family to go. Too bad for you, because the movie only available in The Netherlands is. But soon it'll come too to France, Italy, Spain, Germany and the Scandinavian countries. If you live in Holland, you have to see this movie! It's not only a movie for kids, think older people will like this movie too.

Filmcity When I saw this movie I thought I was in my childhood. Slow but a nice movie for little children. Nice because I read the novel years ago. The movie is about a lift boy en fly through the air. High in the sky Abeltje discovers how to 'move' the elevator.
