Verliefd op Ibiza (2013) User Reviews

As predictable as they come

[kosmasp · 4/10 · 22 November 2013]

No pun intended with that summary line by the way. And while it is very predictable (I defy anyone watching this, not foreseeing where it will end after 10 minutes or less), it is still fun to watch. Which is something that can be attached to the actors and the writer of the movie. They are not trying to be too nice or too PC and that is what elevates the movie.

You're in Ibiza, of course there will be naked people and other stuff some people won't like to see. Beautiful people all around and a Dutch take on a holiday romantic comedy. It does what it says on the box, so it's up to you to decide, whether this is for you or not

Awful, awful, awful!

This may have been one of the worst movies I have seen so far. The characters are probably the worst: unbelievable, over the top, annoying. The storyline is thin, predictable.. very flawed. The two brothers who accidentally meet a world famous DJ, the young man who falls in love with an insecure middle-aged woman, the young girl sleeping with her sister's husband, the retired rock-star, etc. Overall, very cheesy. The acting is almost as bad. Especially Jan Kooijman, who has proved not to be an actor. It is quite surprising this movie was such a great success in the Dutch cinemas, although it was rightfully heavily criticized by the critics. The two stars are given for the shots made of Ibiza itself.

Don't waste your time on this!

A beautiful romantic Dutch comedy

[clovenier-927-957545 · 7/10 · 31 January 2013]

On a beautiful island with beautiful and handsome people develops all kind of story lines. The movie is in the tradition of the Dutch films Costa! and Volle Maan, also directed by the same Johan Nijenhuis. The male and female actors are great. It's nice to see some of the players from the Dutch television series Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden in a different manner. I find great chemistry between Simone Kleinsma and Jim Bakkum. The buttocks of Jan Kooijman, everybody in The Netherlands was so excited about, is nicely photographed, good camera-work. It's a nice movie, with a laugh and a tear. And stay when the closing credits appear. There's a nice last shot with Kim Feenstra in it.

So much fun!

I had so much fun watching this movie. Quite a few characters at first, but they are all played by well known actors so you get familiar with them quickly. Whether in their teens, twenties, thirties or fifties, all characters are trying to fight their age on party island Ibiza. Visually thrilling, but it's the comedy scenes that I liked best. Lex is hilarious as the old rock star that approves of his daughter having sex with her sister's husband. Irma (in her fifties) comes to the island to read books on the beach but meets good looking Jim Bakkum (in his twenties). She never intended to be a Cougar but their romance unfolds in a loving way. Sanne Vogel is adoring as a party-planner that falls in love with a rich soccer player whose friends enjoy spraying expensive bottles of champagne over the party crowd in clubs. "Verliefd op Ibiza" kept me excited every minute.

Simple but nice movie. Nice atmosphere, funny and well performed. Watched it several times and enjoyed it every time. Feel good movie.

Amazing and interesting film

[snikolov27 · 10/10 · 7 September 2014]

As a guy who loves to listen to the Dutch Language, I was looking forward to watching this film. And I loved it seriously. Maybe the subtitles were not good so I couldn't understand what they were speaking, but anyway in the end I got the total point of the film.

Loved how they put Armin Van Buuren in the film, there should be more films with DJs. Although I didn't think they would represent Ushuaia Hotel rooms in such bad condition with cockroaches and dirty bathtubs and stuff.... I always thought that's like the best Hotel Beach Club on the island. Amazing beaches, wonderful horizons, would like to visit Ibiza myself sometime.

Amazing romantic story, just loved it.
