Funniest Dutch movie in years!!!

After having seen Rent-a-Friend for the first time (at the Rotterdam Film Festival), the smile at my face didn't disappear for hours. THIS MOVIE IS REALLY FUNNY!!! And there aren't lots of FUNNY Dutch films (except 'Flodder' and 'Abel' (both 1986) or perhaps Terstall's previous movie, 'Based on a Novel'). And wasn't a comedy -first of all- supposed to be funny?

Of course, Terstalls films all have certain things in common. For example, they are -like a cabaret show- more based on fragements and funny scenes than at a great story. The same in Rent-a-Friend. BUT in this film it doesn't matter, because the basic idea (friendship for sale) is simply brilliant.

Wissenswertes
After a string of low-budget successes (Hufters & Hofdames (1997), De boekverfilming (1999)), this was director Eddy Terstall's most expensive movie at the time, with a budget of EUR600,000. He was promised a fee of EUR150,000 for writing and directing, but he stated that he never got it, after one of the investing companies went bankrupt during production.
