Yes, this was bad. Plot, acting, you name it. It is of a questionable level that is more reminiscent of school theater than anything remotely realistic. Like that whole thing about getting toxic parts into the lipstickis just really bad in everything.
But still, this wasn't even that annoying to watch. The film is certainly not unsympathetic and in terms of pace it is okay and easy to watch. And if you introduce Ron Brandsteder as a doctor and call him Doctor Bernhard, you just get bonus points. 2.0*.

Mediocre. Looks too much like a soap opera, I thought Ron Brandsteder was funny (as Dr. Bernhard )

For some time I had the impression that I was watching child actors over whom adults dubbed during production, but to my great surprise I turned out to be wrong. This means that, in this case, Van den Bosch delivers a particularly good and charming performance by Dutch standards, but the same cannot be said of her fellow crew members. Director Roy Poortmans seems to have no shame whatsoever and delivers an extremely predictable, caricatured chick flick that, if you fall outside the target group, has nothing to do with it. That makes some sense, of course, but I mainly found it astonishing that films like this can still attract such an audience. Caroline de Bruijn delivers an exceptionally bad character, even by childish standards, and the promotion and revamp of that lipstick company didn't do much for me either. As an adult you will have to write and direct a film that is intended for little girls. It's all going wrong somewhere there.
