Directors Steffen Haars and Flip van der Kuil offer ideas of subversion that feel both long-outdated in concept and completely dull in execution, to the point that merely describing the film feels irresponsible, lest its premise accidentally lure curious viewers to the cinema.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Nick Frost plays Bernie Christian, the pointedly-named patriarch of a throwback family sitcom. With his zeal for Jesus sweaters and his living-room church organ, Bernie plays the bumbling househusband to his successful businesswoman wife Eva (Alicia Silverstone), and father to his diligent scientist son Adam (Walt Klink) and moody shut-in daughter Sarah (Gaite Jansen). The fictitious show comes complete with an opening musical <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a> and studio audience laughter, though its parody goes beyond the confines of this genre in ways that are, at least initially, intriguing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The football <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> Eva watches on TV is between the Yankee Saints and the Soviet Devils, a joke echoed when proceedings are disrupted by the arrival of a withered Russian gangster Pjotr (Jan Bijvoet) and his Adidas-tracksuit-wearing sons Dmitri (Chris Peters) and Igor (Matti Stooker), who offer to clean up after Bernie\u2019s half-witted household mistakes. However, rather than fixing his broken kitchen sink, they begin tearing apart the house walls and introducing chaos and temptation bit by bit, through such vices as drugs, alcohol and even Dmitri\u2019s sexual allure, which catches young Sarah\u2019s eye. These Cold War-era fears of \u201creds\u201d and degeneracy upset the consistent, reliable fabric of the family sitcom \u2014 as played out in unobtrusive medium shots. Bernie also begins to experience macabre visions, the aesthetic presentation of which departs from the show\u2019s flatly-lit 4:3 aspect ratio, hinting at something darker (and bloodier) to come.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The problems, however, begin early on, when \u201cKrazy House\u201d lays its handful of jokes and observations on the table within its opening scenes. The in-world show isn\u2019t very funny, leaving loads of dead air in between jokes despite its canned laughter \u2014 perhaps that lack of entertainment value is the point, but it\u2019s awkward all the same. Furthermore, the arrival of the Russian \u201cinvaders\u201d who upset the status quo is a development that runs out of steam rather quickly. There\u2019s a reason the surreal Adult Swim parody \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QrGrOK8oZG8\">Too Many Cooks<\/a>\u201d was a mere 11 minutes long, because contrasting the sanitized reality of an American family sitcom with blood and gore is a joke that becomes self-evident rather quickly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In \u201cKrazy House,\u201d this contrast takes a painfully long time to emerge. Hints at its arrival, via Bernie\u2019s versions, don\u2019t feel particularly rooted in his character either. The film contains loose threads \u2014 usually brief reaction shots that are quickly dropped \u2014 hinting at lingering insecurities within the American male psyche, but Bernie\u2019s deep-seated violent impulses are more a factor of the movie\u2019s genre experimentation. Based on little but the filmmakers\u2019 intent, they emanate from nowhere in particular, let alone some place rooted in the movie\u2019s specific cultural parody.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Eventually, when the film delves into the sex and violence swept under the rug by family comedies, it doesn\u2019t feel pointed enough to be truly cruel or perverse. Any attempts at transgression are juvenile at best; at worst, they betray a lack of understanding of the very culture being lampooned. American sitcoms are a global export, so they\u2019re fair game for filmmakers from all over the world, but to introduce visual gags like burning crosses and casual gun violence against civilians without considering the American context in which they exist \u2014 racist hate crimes and continued mass shootings \u2014 shows a fundamental incuriosity about the cultural images and symbols the filmmakers hope to deconstruct. Their observations are limited to the hypocrisies of organized religion in the broadest possible sense. Frost, for instance, was playing these exact satirical notes in his 2011 comedy \u201cPaul,\u201d but here, they end up so vague and overly familiar as to elicit a shrug.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cKrazy House\u201d wants desperately to be perverse, but even its most charged visual and narrative ideas feel limp, as they attempt to shock for the sake of shock, but end up disturbing or upsetting to no one in particular. The film is a snooze, but its biggest betrayal is arguably to its own ensemble, who throw themselves into the deep end with the utmost emotional commitment to the gimmick. Unfortunately, their efforts end up for naught.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
