Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

bribabylk The film is mainly interesting for being a Dutch production that spends a lot of time in the U.S., in New York City. Other than that, the story isn't really that deep or involving, and often it can be an effort to like the title character.However, on the plus side, you have the actor Michiel Huisman, who plays the boyfriend Philene follows to America to "check up on" (stalk); the movie is very generous with the male nudity, and you get to see lots of him in the raw, front and back. He's a little skinny, but his nice rear end is a treat to look at and helps while away a few minutes of the movie. Thank goodness for foreign films!

DeJaVu3 In stead of what some people say about this movie, I think it is one of the best Dutch movies nowadays. The special effects are good for a movie from Holland. I don't know if the movie is better than the book, 'cause I didn't read it. But I heard from some friends that the film was better, and even the writer said it in the movie.I really enjoyed this movie, it was fun. OK, like the most dutch movies, there is some nudity indeed. That's a pitty...

Peltos Too little depth, too bad. Following the book by Ronald Giphart word for word, this movie doesn't have much to say. It doesn't fascinate the viewer, it's just another love story that has been tried to make interesting by making the main character talk into the camera in the middle of some scenes. Makes you remember Saved by the bell and Ally McBeal. The Lead-role is played by Kim van Kooten, and if you like brunettes you'll probably like her. Good for you because the sex-scenes could make up for lack of story / plot-line. She ends up saying she's sorry for all the things she's done, big deal. This scene (which should be the climax of the movie) doesn't seem to express it's importance to the viewer. An average movie that has some humorous scenes in it and Kim van Kooten is a very attractive woman ;)

Hannah Swain This was the first Dutch movie I've ever seen in the theaters. I've got the book, though I've only read the first couple of chapters. I suppose I really should go back and read it further, because it started out cool, I just got distracted.The author of the book actually says in the movie that he likes the book better than the movie, and oh can I believe it! I really didn't expect anything like this... one of the main reasons I went was because a friend of mine wanted to go and stare at Michiel Huisman. I was seriously impressed. It had everything from fun to anger to.. how the actors dealt with the final scenes was absolutely breathtaking, sitting on the edge of your seat drama. Let's just say this movie has everything from throwing rocks through windows (don't ask) to pretending to come in a classy New York restaurant (as I said, don't ask) and a pornographic version of Romeo and Juliet (I think the only lines in it were: "Where for art thou, Romeo?" and a whole lot of groans...) and an absolutely beautifully shown character development.Right. I'm practically rambling. I'll make my point. I enjoyed this movie. It had a bit of everything and I left the theater happy. I gave it an 8/10.
