A military family of six escalates beyond "dysfunction" once the daughter (Akkemay), roughly sixteen, learns that mom has had an affair with her boyfriend, the girl employing her eldest brother (Frank Schaafsma), a year or so younger, to off mommy. When the attempt fails, an all out war begins between the parents and kids. What starts out as a comedy, comparable to something like Meatballs or Porky's, becomes strictly a dark comedy by midway, slips into the status of horror by its end. Bashed by most critics but a general crowd pleaser. Pepijin and Olivier Somer, approximately seven and four, star as the two littlest brothers. There is a peculiar musical scene included. You will probably either love or hate this one.

Warning (rated R): sexual scenes; sexual themes; moderate nudity; beyond normal profanity; violence; adult themes.
