Alles Is Zoals Het Zou Moeten Zijn plot
Immediately after the birth of their first child, Iris' friend Pieter confesses that he never wanted this child and will soon leave for Africa with his new love. Wallowing furiously in self-pity and alcohol, Iris's early motherhood, her job in the television world, and her social life are severely undermined. Iris wants nothing more than for Pieter to come back. In the following year, along with her two best friends (and an elusive dog walker), Iris gets her life back on track and finds true love, but not before she has dealt with her adulterous ex, a fake colleague and an unwilling dog.

Super lame film, of which I thought beforehand: that will be a huge k#tfilm. It turned out to be an extremely unbalanced, weak but very occasionally almost-to-a-sufficient film. So not half a star, but one and a half. It's a pity that the humor has to come from poorly acted slapstick, that took me a lot out of the film and empathizing with the characters. A classic example of cardboard characters. That whining from the leading lady on the couch, or the weird reactions or strange choices that various characters make, it's all been chewed up a lot. And also quite bad acting, while I've seen the leading lady do so much better. Would it really be that difficult to create a sincere and engaging story, characters and dialogue in this genre?
Purely a film to commercially ring the box office. Fast and cheap. Actually, this is not a cinema worthy print, but it can still be enjoyed for free on Netflix or Videoland.

The umpteenth romcom, now about some rich troela who gets on everyone's nerves before she even says a word. She lives in a closet of a house, a beautiful old house, which is actually just empty, but where someone from the crew quickly knocked down some modern stuff. It looks bad. From those horribly ugly, kitschy, ordinary living trends that you see everywhere these days.
In the review of Filmtotaal I read the following: 'Everything is as it should be is a film adaptation of the book of the same name by Daphne Deckers, but that is a remarkable title given the group of privileged, successful, wealthy, white, people who made the film. populate.' I think sharp.
Worst of all is that Jan Kooistra, a dog walker, who is also very laughable and condescending, suddenly turns out to be a pediatrician.
And of course the holiday in southern Europe should not be missed, perhaps the biggest cliché in this kind of mess. The ladies take a ride on a yellow banana, how original and oh oh what fun we have!
Spontaneously got a postpartum depression from this, and I didn't even give birth to a child.

What a weak movie.
The level of romcoms is never great when it comes to Dutch films, but even for simple feel-good this film is too bad. Little humour, weak slapstick and unsympathetic characters.
You are saddled with an alcoholic mother, from which father runs away (and understandably so). In the small two it takes a very long time before you can muster any sympathy for this self-pitying woman.
And as you know in such films, the first man introduced 'by chance' is the new soon-to-be, Jan Kooijman in this case.
No chemistry between the two, but because of completely unnatural and incomprehensible coincidences they keep running into each other.
There is a happy ending in the movie and that is that the movie is finally over.
