Dumb movie
This movie sucks. It is such a waste time. It tries hard to be like an American movie while at the same time trying to establish a Dutch/European identity (in the vain of "we're cool too!!). The movie steals ideas from American movies (Meg Ryan's fake orgasm scene from when Harry met Sally) and the overdone insecure girl finding her true self. What really irritated me were this underlying and at times overt superficial comments about Americans in general. This weird self-congratulatory European Ennui in NYC demonstrated by characters like Gupje and Phileine along with the not so thinly disguised Dutch feelings/thoughts of false superiority are just super boring and irritating to stomach.
