‘Krazy House’ Review: Too Many Cooks Spoil the Slop in an Unfunny Satire
A violent Dutch riff on ’80s American sitcoms and Cold War fears, Steffen Haars and Flip van der Kuil 's 'Krazy House' is a boisterous bore.
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 football game 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’s half-witted household mistakes. The film contains loose threads — usually brief reaction shots that are quickly dropped — hinting at lingering insecurities within the American male psyche, but Bernie’s deep-seated violent impulses are more a factor of the movie’s genre experimentation.
