The past years many good Dutch films were released. Zwartboek was the highlight of 2007 in Dutch cinema, almost winning an Oscar for best foreign movie. In the more recent past other good Dutch movies were released; Phileine zegt sorry, van God los, Ik ook van jou, Minoes, and even Vet Hard.Alles is liefde was something I looked forward to as it was said to be a very good movie. How disappointed was I. The movie suffers from bad scripting. Kim van Kooten is a much better actress than she is a scripter. The plot is very unrealistic and, apart from a few brief exceptions, the dialogue is terrible. The movie is, in many ways, very much based on "Love Actually" released some years earlier. However, unlike Love Actually, it is not very successful as a comedy and ultimately as a feel-good movie. Also, this movie does not contribute to the Dutch cinema. There were Dutch movies are, normally, very creative, original and in some ways provocative, this movie is none. For its unrealistic scripting, its failure as a comedy and the fact that it is a rip-off, I do not recommend it. Watch Love Actually.
