De Collega's 2.0

The original "De Collega's" was a popular TV-series on Flemish television in the late seventies, early eighties. Like so many other shows, the format was on tv for too long, and the scripts were stretched and diluted up to a point where the was nothing left but water. This film, "De Collega's 2.0" is an attempt to rejuvenate the old series, some four decades later, but it fails miserably. The "acting" - I find it really necessary to use the brackets - is at an all time low, even for Belgian , i.e. Flemish standards. The script too is absolutely below par. The only way to describe it, is to compare it with an attempt to dilute... water. In the six decades that I am on this planet, I have seen some bad movies; but this one is exceptionally bad. The director must have been so proud, to offer cameos to a couple of actor from the original series, but it boomeranged right back into his face: it never adds any value to this hopeless flick. If you haven't seen it: praise yourself lucky, you just saved 90 precious minutes of your life.
