Single Street

Please don't go and spend your money on this crap story. Boring. Trying to be all modern and promote atypical relationships.

This movie is an easy to watch romcom with some Dutch influences. Set in Amsterdam, we get to meet Mo, who hasn't found real love as she pursues a medical career. We get to know her family and her new neighbor, Max. She likes his boyish, laid back lifestyle and the two get along very well. There is clearly some chemistry between Mo and Max. I liked the movie for the clumpsy humor and the pacing, it stayed a bit away from cliches. I wonder if it is as funny for those not Dutch. Some dialogue and scenes felt rushed or could need some improvement, overall it is a suitable movie to watch with your girl.

Not what i would normally watch but it was set in the Hague area of the Netherlands which i know slightly so stuck with it. It is ok, nothing too dramatic happens which is fine. I thought while watching this it would make a good 6 part comedy series, it would need plenty of re-writting and the various characters would need their stories expanded, not sure the actual point of some of them in the film especially the brother. Whilst not laugh out funny there is humor. The acting is fine. The story is somewhat unusual in some ways yet pretty predictable in others. If you just want something pretty undramatic this is a ok watch.

Funny movie with subtle jokes. Typically Dutch, in which the communication between characters is very direct, sometimes rude, and with a lot of references to sex. But if you don't mind this movie is entertaining. The story is both funny and tragic: An insecure woman falls in love with a gay man but does not dare to tell him. What I appreciated is that the gay man in the movie is not a stereotype. In fact he is quite masculine. That is refreshing. The emotional parts are not too pathetic. Although the end is unrealistic it leaves you with a smile. Recommended.

The acting in this movie is well done, and the story is original. Despite this, the movie is boring. It lacks any connection to the main character. It's not a lovable person, just a regular boring career making woman who's life is just nog interesting to watch. I wish I had not watched this and saved myself the time.
