An average movie

To be honest , it is a really obscure flick and the only reason I wanted to watch the damned thing was because it won the Golden Calf of the best Dutch movie of the year. Sometimes,  they do pick up such movies that literally no one has seen, even in the Netherlands,  and this feature definitely belonged to this group. Eventually,  even though it wasn’t completely awful,  I sure didn't like it much and I really had a hard time to care about the damned thing. It was pretty obvious that they were aiming here for a quirky dark comedy but the main character was such an unlikable and uninteresting douchebag, it was really difficult to care about what he was going through. In fact, if the guy would have been more self-confident,  it could have worked better but, instead, he was just a pathetic loser. I mean, somehow, he managed to get a very cute and (very) young girl to fall in love with him without even trying and this relationship was seriously completely unbelievable.  While watching the damned thing, I think they tried to emulate something similar to 'Garden State', with a slacker going nowhere with his life, but the big difference was that 'Garden State' was actually sweet, funny and entertaining while this movie was rather tedious. Anyway, to conclude, I still think that this movie had more to offer than your average Dutch production, it's just too bad that the material was eventually poorly handled.
