De Matchmaker plot

Chris travels the world as a stock photographer and enjoys his life to the fullest. When new assignments prove scarce and the bottom of his bank account comes into view, he is forced to return to the place where he has not been for years: home. Marja doesn't believe her eyes when her son suddenly appears on the doorstep. Chris has to get used to the close-knit village community and wants to leave as soon as possible. A new job presents itself: a promo for a dating site.

Feel-good movie by the EO, and that is noticeable from time to time: a church choir, a cross on the wall, a remark like: 'If that God of yours can forgive you, why can't you do it yourself?' Not that it matters, but it stands out.

Lean story about a son who tries to help his mother, who has been widowed for years. Shot at the beginning of Ariane Schluter cycling through a residential area with a big smile on her face with a man with a leaf blower in the background, that really doesn't make me happy.

Stupid dialogues that pass for humorous. Haha, and that gaudy 'stealth' advertisement again. Does she get a present from someone, turns out to be a movie ticket, does she say: 'Oh, how nice... a movie ticket, the best gift in the dark...'

Also so idiotic, she has a date with someone (Gene Bervoets from Spoorloos) and he then talks about 'My wife Saskia.. ' (the missing Saskia from Spoorloos of course). But wasn't he buried alive?

Still, overall quite manageable, with actors who don't get on the nerves as much as is usually the case in these types of films. And another cat called Etienne, therefore rounded up.

This is quite a nice movie. Too bad we all run into acquaintances again, so that sometimes you think, 'have I seen this before'. But that was Loes Luca in another movie, or Georgina Verbaan, blah, blah, blah.

But the film is carried by Benja. And you don't see him too often.

So that's a nice protagonist. And he's fun to watch.

Story is predictable, but fun.

Film rattles on all sides. Loes and Ariane's acting performances are quite ok. These 2 older ladies wipe the floor with the rest of the actors in terms of acting. Georgina can get rid of her egg as a neurotic lady with a fear of contamination. Could have been so much fun, but a pity... 3 stars for Ariane and Loes, but the total deduction of 1.5" Soon forgotten.
