This satirical Dutch comedy is earning comparisons to Wes Anderson’s quirky, stylish films and Todd Solondz’s provocative dissections of suburbia. Misfit fifteen year old Eva has invited a German exchange student to come stay with her family (not that anybody listened to her when she announced it). But no one was expecting a Teutonic Adonis who cooks breakfast, gives a mean massage, meditates in the morning, and has a wealth of knowledge about birds. His wholesome goodness and flawless manners unnerve his messy, dysfunctional host family. The van Ends, shamed by his example, make awkward attempts to reinvent themselves, no one more so than the concupiscent Eva.
