SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

babysixpack Sure, I'm not a fan of Ronald Giphart's writing. I've never liked any of his books. But I was more than willing to put that aside for a moment and give the movie-adaption a chance. It took me about 5 minutes to realize that this movie was going to be bad. In retrospect, these first 5 minutes were a blessing, because a good 20 minutes later I just wanted to die. Just to put an end to this fever-ridden nightmare of a movie.I'm not bothered by nudity, sex and whatever profanity at all, but if done wrong, it just creates an empty feeling of embarrassment. Imagine a hormonal 15-year old, saying out loud every thought that erupts from his horny brain. That's what the 30-something Phileine (Kim v Kooten) in this movie behaves like. I have met quite a variety of people in my life, but I've never met anyone even remotely as horny as the people in this movie. I cringed, seeing how this piece of crap confirms every cliché about dutch cinema. And the worst thing? The writers/creators seem proud if it. Every line spoken by Phileine is 1. spoken in 200%-speed mode (this seems to be a necessary parameter in most dutch movies for some reason) 2. loaded with a truly embarrassing wish to be funny and cute. Reminds me of that guy on a party failing to be clever; you know what I'm talking about. 3. meta-meta. Yep, the protagonist is looking into the camera, speaking to you directly. In a condescending way, too. It'll knock your socks off!Like a previous review aptly stated: this movie has overstated and meaningless special fx. It looks like someone just got a new Adobe Premiere update and loves the hell out of it.I really started laughing when I recognized dutch soap actors posing as Americans. If their horrible acting wouldn't give them away, their big fat dutch accents would. Like.. really? This movie completely loves itself. I think that's my main problem with it. It's trying to be cool, fast, fresh, funny. Kim van Kooten is an unconvincing actress. She was supposed to be a likable bitch in this movie and she completely failed at that. The rest? I was surprised Michiel Huisman got a leading role in David Simon's brilliant series "Treme". He was horrible in this movie, but then again, everyone was horrible in this movie. Moviebuffs in the Netherlands are having a hard time with homeland cinema. Very rarely there's a dutch title that is any good. Phileine Zegt Sorry redefines why we are skeptical. This is lesson-material. I'm going out of my way and vote 1/10 for this, just on a mission to bring that rating down. Wish I wouldn't have to.

missfruztiez Well, I have to admit that I (like most of the people from Holland) think most of the Dutch movies are plain bad. Seriously. Most of the time, I even got a good reason for that because most Dutch movies are bad. But it wouldn't be fair if I'd call this movie bad.Phileine zegt sorry is a very good movie to Dutch standards. OK, Ronald Giphart is definitely not the most literal Dutch writer and he really overuses sex in his books, but isn't that typical for Dutch writers? In fact, aren't Dutch movies known for that too? Turkish Delight is a good Dutch movie, yet has a lot of sex in it. Oh well, I think I should tell you what makes me like this movie, not what makes it less bad.I think Kim van Kooten is great as Phileine. OK, she might overdo the bitchiness sometimes, but most of the time the girl's just good. She has a good timing for one-liners and even though even I (as a 16 year old... No, we're not brainless) think Ronald Giphart overuses cursing in his books, Kim van Kooten makes Phileine enjoyable to look at and listen to.I really like the movie's soundtrack, as, throughout the movie, it just seems to fit in the place where it is.I like a lot of the scenes in the movie, as I think there's enough emotion in it to make it an enjoyable movie. Yes, call me crazy, but I thought the end-scene was very emotional. This might be because I'm still young and I have no life-experience whatsoever, or something, but just because I'm a teenager doesn't mean I'm emotionless.But there are some bad points in the movie too. For example, the dutch actors that pretend to be American. Bad English or American accents in a movie really irritate me, and because a lot of Dutch people don't have a perfect English accent I don't think they should be portrayed as English or American. I found this especially annoying in Kenan Raven's case. But then again, I think Kenan Raven is annoying to begin with. His face looks completely emotionless to me.I thought some scenes in the movie were pointless. For example, you had Gulpje and the guy from the restaurant. The whole restaurant scene was rather pointless, just like a few other scenes.But I liked most of the movie. I don't think everyone will like it as it's dutch and therefore a bit sexistic, but I do recommend it to people my age.7/10.

ofjeworstlust Genre: Drama / Comedy / Romance. This is what IMDB says. It's a drama to see that it isn't a comedy and you'll probably get romantic with the audience, since watching the screen will ruin one and a half hour of your life.As Dutchman I mostly feel embarrased with the typical Dutch movies of the last decades. Swearing, sex and agression, preferably a book converted to a movie. Here it's the same.For those of you who know BNN, the Dutch broadcasting organisation that has a trademark for rudeness, dumb&dumberness and programmes full of sex and swearing: yes, this movie has its trademark all over it.The actress Kim is overacting as a bitch and the story is so dumb that I really can't believe the hype when it was released.

mdrost77 If someone ever sees the movie, you have the biggest spoiler of all in the title… The title says, she will say sorry. So any anticipation is gone. Even the cover of the movie is the ending of the movie.. It's not a bad movie, in a Dutch sense of way, but help me with this spoiler galore.. Change the name in `Phileine' Make a nice cover of her and her girlfriends going out (a theme) or use the James bond theme (excellent shooting) even some of the nice special effects (her flying trough the roof would do great as a cover… But this? sorry… I can't say anything about spoilers here because they are bad… but I guess the commercial managers have outdone themselves, because my best guess is that an actor / director would never allow this
