  • Daring to poke fun at the military while weaving in humor and heart, Going Dutch flips the script on army dynamics through a hilarious blend of yesteryear regiments and Gen-Z ideals. Though it feels very much like the '70s and '80s comedies you might have watched growing up,

The review of "Going Dutch" on Collider discusses the film's attempt to blend a coming-of-age story with a fish-out-of-water narrative, focusing on an American teenager, Frank, who moves to the Netherlands. The film is described as having a promising premise but ultimately falling short due to its lack of depth in character development and cultural exploration. Despite some charming moments and a likable lead performance by Patrick Holland, the movie is criticized for not fully engaging with the cultural differences or providing a nuanced look at teenage life in a new country.
