Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

qariq I've read everyone's comments about this movie and most of them make sense, even the ones I disagree with. But I cannot believe that no one saw what I thought to be the most important point or fulcrum upon which this flick rests.I'm not sure what "Borderline" is, but I can guess. And judging by the fact that Reza's behavior is thus described I think I get it. That part of her personality and the destructive impact on the relationship form the skeleton of this story.This movie was made 8 years ago when the explosion in breast augmentation was really gathering steam. Big boobs were all the rage; and it has only grown (Please, no pun intended). We never see Eric particularly interested in the breasts of the women he chats with, but that's ALL Reza sees.I think the quality (genius is too strong a word) the filmmakers bring to this movie is the muted way they don't emphasize the breasts. We never see the camera linger over a cleavage or tight sweater, but we do see Reza getting real crazy whenever larger (but never monster) breasts are anywhere near Eric.So Reza's "Borderline" behavior is really focused on her breasts. By the time we get to the scene where she accuses Eric of flirting with the "black girl on the tube", whether there was a girl there or not, we know that she had substantial boobs. Guys' eyes wander all the time and we often forget what we've seen as soon as we've seen it. But Reza cannot forget. Even if Eric didn't notice the girl, the fact that a large breasted woman was on the tube car was enough for Reza.Finally, the post-surgery Reza was Reza at her most pitiful. Now she has what she wants. Now there is no worry about other women better endowed. Reza has got 'em. And she degrades herself with Rocco. What better testament to the futility of vanity rewarded.To those who criticized the "river in France" bits; I agree. And in the end who cares if Silke loves Eric? All the power in the story was sucked out by this unrelated plot mechanism.A thoughtful movie. I liked it.

julesrules I tried to see this movie on the first night showing. The show in the city I live in was sold out. "This must be really something", I thought. I now expect that most people leaving the theater that night must have had the same though as I have now, after seeing the movie on DVD: "highly overrated; not living up to it's expectations". I didn't read the book, have to be honest about that. From what I've read, the book's author, Mr Giphart, wasn't really pleased with the movie either. Some remarks: - the plot is too clear; I knew how it would end before the movie was half on it's way - not very well acting from Ms Schijf and Mr Kamerling. The latter is also the narrator and I'm not sure whether it's intended this way, but he's reading lines and that just sounds horrible. The small part of Mr Van Erven Dorens is ok. He's not that good of an actor, but he plays an over the top student-like ("studentikoos" in Dutch) student, in which he succeeds to make him student-like...quite realistic whether you like it or not.I wouldn't advise this movie to my friends; if it is on tv and you're sure there's nothing else on...well, it's ok to watch it, I guess. Nothing more, nothing less. A 4,5 out of 10

SCHAGELA Actually I'm still in doubt if there's anything about this movie I like. As for the story: unrealistic and very exaggerated. The acting was too bad in my opinion. Not very likely that Antonie Kamerling will get a Rutger Hauer status. Some folks will expect it anyway. First let him work on his English pronunciation. If you watch the 'trip' to Paris of these actors (DVD-extra) you will most likely want to trow up. Advice to Beau Dorens: stop your acting career, you'll never get there... To the 2 main 'actors': grow up, please. Being generous, I'd give it 4 out of 10.

hanneske1981 Ik ook van Jou is an incredible love story, a sad one, but therefore maybe even better than a happy one.This story really gets to you, by the end of the movie you can't help but wonder, what if it were my life...Ik ook van Jou is originally a book by the great Dutch author Ronald Giphart. He's a man who really knows what his audience wants to read. Most of his books are about sexuality, sensuality, love passion and pain all blended together in perfect written books.Ik ook van Jou is one of his best books (well that's my opinion anyway) and I was very excited when they decided to do a movie about it. The movie is everything what Giphart stands for, love, passion, pain, lust and, of course, sex....and a lot of it, but the movie is shot in a way that the sex parts are actually SEXY, and every time it's used in the right place, the right time.The actors are wonderful. They act much better then I expected them to, but Angela Schijf and Antonie Kamerling are wonderful together, there's "real" chemistry flickering in their eyes. And especially good work from Beau van Erven-Doorens who made his debut in this movie. (He even gained almost 28 pounds for his part as Frazer, if that isn't dedication....)If you've got the chance, go see it. It's one of the best Dutch productions I've ever seen. And the critics are right, it's kind of like Turks Fruit...only better.
