The book was so original, but this is yet another boring Dutch type of romcom. Why!? Why!? Why!? It had such potential! If you want a cliché movie based on a book, get one of the hundreds of cliché books, instead of just abusing a bestseller simple and only for it' s name.
The book was great because of the voice of the writer, but who do they cast for the lead role.... yet another annoying perky dorky girly woman (weer een trutjehola ... zeg maar). WHY NOT PAULIEN!!!??? Or some one LIKE her at least!!!
If this is how you translate a book into a movie, you might as well turn mein kamp into a romcom, or the flipping yellow pages. THIS IS PATHETIC!! As always: a gay couple, an old popular actor, one of the same 10 younger male actors you see in every Dutch movie, and bad fake awkward acting.
I can only hope the writer was payed well, cos that would be the only good thing coming out of this movie if you ask me.
You can easily watch 10 seconds, skip 10 minutes and repeat. You won't miss anything interesting at all.
Terwijl in het boek een interessante blik op taal wordt getoond. Toont deze film enkel een blik op een saaie zeurderige ondankbare truthola. Dat is zeg maar, NIET echt mijn ding!
