The new kids are lower class Dutch men (the lowest), so in a way this is a very classist movie. There is no ideology behind their abuse, violence and aggression. If a scooter fails on them, they attack it and kick it to pieces. The five offensive young men utterly trash and terrorise a small, orderly town (a phenomenon that is sadly a little too close to what actually happens sometimes in the Netherlands). They use the same very offensive language over and over again, until it loses all meaning. Suicide, brutal car accidents, pregnant women ignoring their health, killing animals and babies, destroying property, disrespecting the police, women and gays, a constant stream of offensive insults - all of this and much more is what this movie is about. There are many visual gags about sex, urination, defecation, vomiting and so on. This type of humour showcases shockingly unacceptable antisocial behaviour. But the new kids, despite trashing and abusing the town, love the place and defend it. The government then decides to wipe the town out. Eventually the bill collectors and police show up, but they're no match for our disgusting moronic heroes. Their leader decides that they're no longer going to pay for anything. The plot is that five young men, through their stupidity, lose their jobs and then their welfare handouts. Some of the other reviewers have explained it brilliantly, but I'll give it a try. I don't think there is any movie like this in the English-speaking world. I was willing to let my inner 11-year-old take over. OK, I've just enjoyed this movie even though I absolutely despise New Kids.
