Storyline

- TriviaAlthough this is considered to be the first big Dutch romantic comedy, the movie was universally panned by Dutch critics, which strongly affected the mood at the premiere. Producer Joop van den Ende didn't attend because he believed the film would bomb. Director Johan Nijenhuis got severely depressed, and was worried that he would never make another movie. This turned out to be premature, since the movie turned out a box office success, making Nijenhuis one of the Netherlands' most prolific filmmakers and the 'romcom' the most popular Dutch movie genre in the next decades.

Featured review
Why are all people who are not a teenager so negative about this movie? This is a funny, soapy romantic comedy which is just fun to watch. I really liked this better than the stupid 'Volle Maan', which was way to serious. Georgina Verbaan plays Janet, a girl who is insecure and a bit dumb, but with a good heart. She goes with her sister and two of her sister's friends on a holiday to Spain. There she meets Rens, a runner from a local dance-club, the Costa!. He asks her if she could dance with them, because there's soon an important MTV-dance-contest which they have to win because of the free publicity. Okey, the acting is not brilliant and the storyline is not too deep, but what's the big deal? It's a movie with all the ingredients of a successful summer movie. You see Costa! at moments you don't want to think about anything, you just want to have a nice time. And Costa! really succeeds in that.
