Taal Is Zeg Maar Echt Mijn Ding plot
The clumsy Anne has a passion for language. Stop words, corruptions, misquotes, swear words and separate baby names. She can enjoy it immensely, it surprises her and she has an opinion about it. At the glossy magazine she works for, however, she's only allowed to write about summer fashion and quinoa salads. Fortunately, she can share her frustration with her colleague and best friend Timo. When she eventually also has to take care of her father, Anne decides that she wants things completely different; a job with more depth, away from the daily grind and finding the love of her life.

Fockeline Ouwerkerk does what she can to salvage the film, aided by Peter Faber in a wonderful performance as the demented father of journalist Anne [Ouwerkerk], who actually wants to leave her job at a glossy women's magazine to work on a book of linguistic reflections. The screenplay is a mess, overflowing with ideas and lacking structure, meaning no element truly shines. Consequently, the film is a bit funny, a bit romantic, and a bit touching, but falls short on all counts. Ouwerkerk is exceptionally charismatic, but her neurotic attitude toward grammatical errors makes her quite irritating. However, the film is full of unbearable characters, and the performances of Tina de Bruin [as Anne's sister], Martijn Hillenius [as her brother], and Rick Paul van Mulligen [as his friend] are downright irritating. Egbert Jan Weeber is too good to be true in this poorly directed, predictable film with often incomprehensible voice-overs and a mess of a soundtrack.

So, a few years ago, someone woke up with the idea of adapting Paulien Cornelissen's book into a rom-com. That's not a bad thing, but the fact that no one then says, "Bad idea, don't do it," is a real shame.
