Just Say Yes

When you select romcom as a genre, expectations aren't very high to begin with. Cliches are expected. The storyline is thin as foil, the acting is worse, which is possibly due to the total lack of story. This film has absolutely no redeeming qualities.

If you think Amsterdammed, or Flodder Goes America is bad, they're oscar winners compared to this p.o.s.

An easy and laid back movie to watch and funny.

I like this Dutch Netflix movie better than the usual predictable Hollywood Rom-Con.

Jim Bakkum (the blonde guy) could be the new Armie Hammer, if he works on his physique and gets more acting classes. Sometimes he's not convincing, but at other times he is.

A generic Dutch romantic comedy.

It's about a producer girl who is finished live and does her best to get her fiancé back together with her fellow producer.

Quality.

Entertaining It does not bring something new to the genre.

It feels like a cross between "Crazy and Stupid Love" and all the romantic comedies.

The performances are passable.

The pair have chemistry on screen.

He tries to talk about living and always doing what we feel, but he doesn't quite succeed.

Some inconsistencies in the edit.

It shows you characters in the first moment that never unfolds, they are just there. And the main story does not see certain details because the film is in a hurry.

It fulfills its function which is to entertain.

Filled with romcom clichés all the way. And not the good ones. If you wanna try to find any orginal or surprising detail in it: don't bother. You won't find any.

The acting is plain bad. The characters are not interesting at all. Very flat and, once again, cliché. It doesn't help that the actress that plays the main character, Lotte, is someone who is in real life known for what they're mocking teh whole movie: superficial behaviour, being all about beauty, money and luxury. So to me, it's all very unbelievable. There's no subtlety in the acting. It's either boring or over the top yelling. The actors are casted either for their looks or fame, not for their talent.

I gave it 2 stars instead of 1, just because I like the genre and I'd like to see more romscoms in the future. But please, no more like this one. Not even in Dutch.

The story isn't that bad to be honest. But the acting... seriously.

They could've hired some other actors and maybe adjust the story. The fact that Bilal is so interested in the story just doens't work for me.

Maybe I'm just to pessimistic.
