Liever verliefd

This was a cool, fun, and funny romantic comedy. It's good for lots of laughs when a girl who just got ditched by a guy that decided to go back to his wife after all, decides to stop falling in love and act like a man.. I.e. She ends up dating two guys at the same time, and yup.. falls for both of them. Keeps the feel-good factor rolling, and even manages a wacky and acceptable climax :) Beats a lot of the crappy films out there at the moment ;) Must be seen (preferably accompanied by girl/boyfriend (guess it fits the chick-flick category too)

Unless you're a big fan of the genre, this movie will either make your skin crawl or fall asleep. The acting is really bad and very stiff, the storyline has no content at all (Nothing happens), the scenario sucks, you cannot hear what the actors say unless you switch on the subtitles, it is badly directed, and the music sucks big time.

It is not funny, not even camp... There are worse movies, like Battlefield Earth but this one should score <5 in my opinion. I have seen Liever Verliefd in full, something I can't say about the SF, which was so bad I didn't make it. But unless your taste is only for this genre I'd skip this one...

What a terrible movie, too predictable in all its facets. From the beginning you can imagine every little detail of what is going to be happen next. A pity, because dutch movies just started to get on a higher level. However, 'Liever Verliefd' confirms exactly the prejudice about dutch movies...

I saw this film at a sneak preview, in a sold-out theater. With most sneak previews, a lot of people go away after 20 or 30 minutes. Not with this film. It is the story of a young woman, Anna (Van Reeden) who decides never to fall in love again, and then meets 2 men - one a rather muscular construction worker (Zegers), the other a daydreaming piano playing romantic (Conen) - both of whom she of course eventually falls in love with. She initially tries to keep her two boyfriends, not knowing that the two men are best friends and even room mates. The film makes use of practically all of the conventions of a classic romantic comedy, yet it keeps the viewer engaged in the drama of all three main characters. Van Reeden portrays a very funny, sympathetic, even lovable Anna, Zegers looks absolutely great (girls started giggling as soon as he appeared) and plays his finest role yet, and Conen proves to be an extraordinary comedian. Guest appearances of Wendy van Dijk, Belgian actor Michaël Pas and even Sjoukje Hooijmaaijer seem well chosen. The use of a lot of classic and more recent Dutch pophits (Dolly Dots, Willeke Alberti, but also Twarres, Krezip and Birgit) is remarkable, keeping the film going at all times, and appealing to everyone's memories of old friends, lovers and days gone by. People who like very sophisticated character development may be somewhat disappointed, but this film is a must-see if you're in for a light, yet sparkling and very funny romantic comedy.
