The book is always better than the film does not apply here.

When I read the book I thought it would be a hell of a job to make a decent picture out of it. Well, they did. Enjoyed the acting. The bathtub scene is unforgettable. The entire theater was laughing out loud. Not the best script, but the actors steal the show. Worth renting on a lazy rainy afternoon. Now, if you have a video in your bathroom, this is the best location to watch it. Have fun.

A really good Belgian film is hard to find, but this one is worth the search. I guess you have to be Flemish to really appreciate it(even the accents are funny!), but this film is so funny and yet tragic in a certain way that it should appeal to many viewers. The leads, Stany Crets and Peter van den Begin, make a wonderful couple. And I honestly don't think that there ever were any bigger losers in the history of cinema than these two guys.

It's all very believable, with great character development and subtlety too, at times. I was surprised by this, since director Jan Verheyen often makes amusing, but not so good(nor subtle) films. This one is certainly his best film yet. But, then again, it's based on a book by Tom Lanoye, who is one of the best Belgian writers alive. 8/10

Toni is a rather unsuccessful law-student who one day decides to drop out of college and his regular life. He wants to sell air because he believes that's what people want nowadays. On his way he meets André, a thief, and together they roam the roads of Belgium trying until they make a horrible decision.

When I saw, Everything Must Go I was quite surprised. The book by Tom Lanoye is good and I didn't expect the film to live up to that. But the two leading actors are excellent and the gay side of the story is handled in a subdued but very believable way.
