I liked the Delivery. But, there are two things special about me. I'm Dutch, and think it's really neat to see a roadmovie being done in Europe (Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain), places that look familiar to me. Also, I like roadmovies, so that made up for things that this movie did not do so well. The first thing that comes to mind is the Dutch accent some actors in this movie have. But, that may be charming to others. Also, there are some loose ends in the movie, and things that are just too coincidental to be believed. During the movie, I let myself be surprised with what was going to happen, but in the last scene, it again became too unbelievable.

In short: if you don't mind the gaps in the story too much, and just want to sit back and enjoy a roadmovie, that's different from most as it is European, this is a nice movie to go see.

This movie was shot for only 150.000 Dutch guilders ($75.000). It tells the story of two friends, who have a dream making a movie in a 1930's setting. One of them is writing the script, incorporating things he comes across in everyday life. Then, he gets obsessed by a woman on a billboard which he later meets. This leads to confrontations between the two friends and the woman. Then, ultimately, it is about knowing who you are, what you want to do and having the guts to do it (hence the title 'lef' which is Dutch for guts).
