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.

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.

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.

If you're a fan of bad trout-pout plastic surgery and dental work that gives everyone huge white choppers, then you will enjoy watching this movie. If you're a fan of characters that are actual human beings and not annoying caricatures, then you will hate this move. The star Jolanthe Cabou is supposed to be a Dutch sex symbol. You'd never know it by how they styled her for this movie, Get your hair out of your face and stop over-emoting, Jolanthe. Fortunately for her though, the other actors are even worse with the exception of Jim Bakkum, who was fine. The guy on the park bench was fingernails on a blackboard annoying--so over the top and unpleasant. The story was predictable. The girlfriends were predictable. The boss and boyfriend were predictable and also annoying. I could write a more coherent review but this movie doesn't deserve my effort. It certainly didn't put forth any effort to make an emotionally real and involving romcom. Vreselijk.
