Wonderful movie with a great cast, sometimes excellent acting and a script that is catching including the credits!

One of the best dutch movies i've seen so far. The acting is good, sometimes even excellent. Great work by some unknown actors and actresses. A lot of funny characters played by famous dutch people. The script is uplifting and smart, with some nice twists. Sometimes some obvious connections between the different story lines that are pointed out during the film, but still not overrated or overdone. A lot of humor with a nice combination of love, drama and twisted humor and awareness. A film you must see if you like dutch movies. Good girlfriend-boyfriend material for a night at the cinema, or even to watch with good friends before a night in the town!

Shamelessly stolen Dutch version of "Love actually"

It is not a bad film. It is pleasant to see, even though painfully predictable throughout. Nice actors. But the script is a shameless copy of British "Love actually". Besides, Kim van Kooten must have been living in some sort of a fantasy world: no foreigners ("niet Westerse allochtonen") in this movie at all! This isn't today's Netherlands; perhaps, this is how the Dutch middle class would like it to be, but it certainly does not reflect the reality! But then again, in real life Prince of Orange doesn't walk around the shops without security either,does he? All in all, not a bad fairy tale, but I would prefer to see something original, not just a cheap copy of films from other countries.

Super!

Colorful, touching, and very funny! This can be considered as a Dutch version of Love Actually (even the fonts of the credit titles are similar), which is a big compliment to Love Actually. As the stories and situations here are very Dutch (including gay marriage and a vehicle carefully locked to a bridge), I think this film will move Dutch viewers more than the British version did. I know I wanted to cry at the end, but I was there with my girlfriend. Super performances of the all-star cast, all playing the roles they do best. And the movie shows Amsterdam from its most wonderful side as well!

The movie does raise a worrying question though: what will we do when He really dies? My suggestion: we ask Gijs Scholten van Aschat. Any other candidates?

Try to avoid the trailer, which spoils some surprises.

Grappig

Gezellig om met je family te kijken tijdens een koude dag. Maar 1 keer is meer dan genoeg! Voor een Nederlands best okay.

most certainly not rubbish

Of course there are slight niggles (dreary shots of Dutch highways, Amsterdam is almost a village) but why dwell on such minor things when the overall feel of the movie is lovely. The emotions are real and it's very easy to connect with many of the characters.

The jokes are there but what sticks best is the joy the film brings. It may not sound very critic-y, but i've yet to end a sentence with an exclamation mark, unlike my learned yet ill-literate fellow opnionator.

Carice van Houten is lovely, if frustrating. Paul de Leeuw can act! Who knew? (Who Cared). Daan Schuurmans is wonderfully understated. Many more actors will surprise you with their acting qualities, no doubt helped by Kim van Kootens convincing lines and scenes.

Go see this movie, you will not be disappointed. It will restore your faith in Dutch cinema, just like "Simon" did.

Histoire

Anecdotes
The scene where Black Pete is followed by Kiki on the roof is a reference to Miaou! (2001), in which Carice van Houten plays a cat and prowls the roofs.

Gaffes
In the scene with Kiki and Prins Valentijn in the lift, Kiki has a scratch on her face. In the first shot blood drips out, in another shot the blood is wiped from her face, later it is just dripping out like it was before.

Citations
[Prins Valentijn climbed his way through the window of Kiki's appartment back to his hotel. Kiki followed him and jumps into the elevator with Valentijn just before it closes]
Kiki Jollema: Don't say a word!! I don't know how you usually treat your dates but I won't put up with this!
Prins Valentijn: [Kiki has a little cut on her cheek] Did you fall down? You're bleeding...
Kiki Jollema: [pushes his arm away] Get lost!
Prins Valentijn: I'm sorry... This wasn't supposed to happen...
Kiki Jollema: Oh, so what happened tonight wasn't supposed to happen?
Prins Valentijn: No that was supposed to happen!
Kiki Jollema: But a kind of goodbye, a breakfast doesn't come to mind. No the girl shouldn't feel like it had any meaning!
Prins Valentijn: It did have meaning... And that wasn't supposed to happen. I... I feel something for you... And I've never... Well it might sound really stupid but I've never had that before. That I really feel something. I think it's great... And scary... It makes me want to run away really fast but at the same time I just want to be with you, to be with...
[She kisses him]
Prins Valentijn: Wait... you have to know... I'm not...
[She kisses him again]
Kiki Jollema: I know exactly who you are...
Prins Valentijn: You knew that the whole time? Why didn't you say anything...?
Kiki Jollema: I don't know... I thought it was sweet how you got all dressed up for me. I wanted to see how far you'd go.
Prins Valentijn: Well, pretty far...
Kiki Jollema: Yeah, pretty far...

Crédits fous
During the initial credits, there is footage of the re-scheduled wedding. The rest of the credits are laid out as a wedding invitation/ card and have hand-written greetings to the couple inscribed, as well as stills from the film and small clips in floral heart shapes of couples (not necessarily from the film).
