Mannenharten

I don't like dutch films a lot (besides the very good ones like soldaat van oranje, turks fruit, and other movies from that era) , but must say that this movie is watchable. In dutch movies always the same actors appear because we have only a few but their roles were believable and not over the top (as in other movies) in this movie. Coming of Age in love and life. I like the roles of Daan Schuurman (who is a nice actor) and Georgina Verbaan. Just plain and simple playing , not with to many jokes or stupid situations. The soundtrack is cool, the place where they shot the film Amsterdam, gives a nice view of Amsterdam. Like the little shop that is bought by one of the persons in the movie. Some actors are not very strong in their character. Just watch and find out for yourself what you think.

It doesn't happen often that I leave a movie prematurely. My wife and I were expecting a nice romantic comedy like "Alles is Liefde" and "Alles is familie". Unfortunately this movie came no where close to these films, who had similar casts. What was wrong with this movie? For starters the script was predicable. Secondly the sub stories where not working as one and lastly the performance were not convincing at any point in the movie (maybe the last 30 minutes which we failed to see). I'm open minded to all genres of movies. This one is a complete mystery to me. I would love somebody to tell me that they thought differently and tell what I missed. A movie of missed opportunities with great actors like Daan Schuurmans and Jeroen Spitzenberger. Hopefully a one time off for these actors. Will give them a second chance for sure in the future and will likely hear them say in the future that this one was good for a raspberry award.

This movie isn't funny or romantic at all. They can't call it a romance story,because they kiss and touch each other a lot. I was waiting for some funny stories or some jokes, but i guess they thought it was funny to put a guy in a deer suit and call it comedy. The movie is about 5 guys trying to find love, but it's looks more like a cheap remake of sex and the city without strong characters and storyline. Sometimes you get confused which guy has which problems because of the switching of stories. five different stories in one movie is way to much. They don't have any depth in them. The trailer was made with the best parts of the movie. If you see the trailer, you don't need to watch the movie.
