Love Is All (2007)
2/10
Absolute Rubbish! (Don't believe the hype.)
29 October 2007
The reviewers that loved this movie must have been involved in making this movie. Because I honestly can say that this is by far the worst Dutch movie I have ever seen! To compare this movie to "Love Actually" is an insult. Only the last 20 minutes had me entertained a bit. There is nothing clever about the script. The different story lines never get interesting. The acting is not bad. But Carice van Houten who was superb in "Zwartboek (Blackbook)" doesn't convince. The actors can't be blamed for this. It is the director who does a poor job. The actors don't get enough screen time to make the scenes interesting. Just when a scene does spark interest the director cuts to another storyline. This way it is really hard to care for the characters. The fact that some characters are likable is purely to their own merit. This movie is supposed to be about relationships. But sometimes it is very hard to make out what the relationships are and what actually the problems are in those relationships. Most of the problems depicted are superficial and never show any depth. I was expecting at least some matters that were recognizable. In my opinion "Alles is liefde" tries too hard to be sophisticated,while it's not. Apart from the last 20 minutes this movie is boring as hell. What on earth were they thinking when they decided to produce a movie like this? Absolute waste of time!
