Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
vince1970 This is a film that has not much going for it. The main actors are to old to play students. That is why they are totally unbelievable.Antonie is a good actor, but here he is wasted. Chantal Janzen should give it up, just like that Beau van Erven Dorens guy. The film has similar story lines from other dutch films. Nothing is new, and the jokes are nothing special.Only Daphne Bunskoek is fresh in this stale film.This film was a disaster at the box office, cause it was produced for a rather large amount of money. On DVD it is worth a look , if you can watch it for free that is.
TheOtherFool Feestje! has all the characteristics of a bad Dutch movie: it's main actor is a 38 year old playing a student, there's meaningless, unfunctional sex in it and the story doesn't make any sense. You can have worse times though...Ruud van Hemert brought his dynamic duo from his previous flop, 'Ik Ook Van Jou' back into this one, and I must say that Van Erven Dorens is likable in his role, although one can tell it's not acting which he does for a living. Kamerling meanwhile isn't the actor a lot of people once thought he would be, and picking roles like this one won't help either.The story: Ben (Van Erven Dorens) is about to marry Talita (Chantal Janzen), and is been bragging to her parents about his best friend and best man Thijs (Kamerling). He does this so well they want him to plan the weddingparty. While Thijs really is a sloppy student only believing in one night stands and hating couples and marriage...Things complicate when social worker Susan (Daphne Bunskoek) steps into his life and he wants to start off his own bar/restaurant...The movie at times is extremely messy (watch the scene where Thijs and Susan are in the kitchen at night, talking. It seems that in every shot they are standing in another part of the kitchen) and the acting, as said before, is only so and so. Still, I had an OK time with it what couldn't be said about Ik Ook Van Jou.PS If you're a big Chantal Janzen fan, you can skip this one as she has about 1 line in it.4/10.
cyclops-8 This movie is an great example of what a dutch movie should be like.The story about friendship as it should be. Two friends that would let nothing get between then that swore to stay single live from one one-night-stand to the other get their friendship tested by one announcing he is gonna get married.The way the story is told is what makes modern Dutch movies great, don't take it all to serious and just be yourself you are crazy enough that way.it is a movie that puts dutch films on the world map and can place itself amongst the modern titles like "Costa", "volle maan" and "van God los" quality Dutch motion pictures.
edward-89 When going to this movie we didn't know what to expect anything, and thats exactely what we got. Horrible acting (reading lines from an autocue would be the same as this acting), reasonable actors but the whole thing was a bad mix of a dutch try on 'American Pie' meets dutch B-film. I bet this movie won't make it through a second week of showing in the theaters, and the DVD will go directly to the 50%-off section. Too bad, it could have been a nice movie.
