Er is er een Jarig

About This Movie

Er is er een Jarig is one of those quirky comedies from the early 80s that somehow manages to blend a light-hearted premise with a more absurd tone. The pacing is a bit erratic, which adds to its charm, as the narrative unfolds in a way that feels almost like a series of connected sketches. The performances are quite earnest, with actors diving into their roles in a way that feels genuine, albeit a touch over-the-top at times. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a retro appeal that adds character. There’s a sense of playfulness that permeates the film, making it distinctive among its contemporaries, even if the overall storyline is a bit thin. This film definitely captures a moment in time, reflecting the offbeat humor of that era.
