    Loose ends must be a Belgian liking as well

    A satire of Belgian and French differences with a dash of Ocean's 11. Likeable cast does a good job of laying out the con but the movie falls flat leaving more plot holes than box of Dunkin Donuts. Take that, EU!

    • Goofs
      When Serge teaches Jessica / Cécile the different Belgian accents, he focusses on the one from Liège, and tells her (with the accent) that a Liégeois talks a bit like a Swiss who would have been eating waffles the whole afternoon ("un petit peu comme un Suisse, si tu veux, mais qui aurait mangé des gaufres tout l'après-midi." A Liégeois would never pronounce the letter 'r' in 'gaufre'. A waffle in Liège is pronounced 'gauff'.
