Anecdotes
The scene where Black Pete is followed by Kiki on the roof is a reference to Miaou! (2001), in which Carice van Houten plays a cat and prowls the roofs.

Gaffes
In the scene with Kiki and Prins Valentijn in the lift, Kiki has a scratch on her face. In the first shot blood drips out, in another shot the blood is wiped from her face, later it is just dripping out like it was before.

Citations
[Prins Valentijn climbed his way through the window of Kiki's appartment back to his hotel. Kiki followed him and jumps into the elevator with Valentijn just before it closes]
Kiki Jollema: Don't say a word!! I don't know how you usually treat your dates but I won't put up with this!
Prins Valentijn: [Kiki has a little cut on her cheek] Did you fall down? You're bleeding...
Kiki Jollema: [pushes his arm away] Get lost!
Prins Valentijn: I'm sorry... This wasn't supposed to happen...
Kiki Jollema: Oh, so what happened tonight wasn't supposed to happen?
Prins Valentijn: No that was supposed to happen!
Kiki Jollema: But a kind of goodbye, a breakfast doesn't come to mind. No the girl shouldn't feel like it had any meaning!
Prins Valentijn: It did have meaning... And that wasn't supposed to happen. I... I feel something for you... And I've never... Well it might sound really stupid but I've never had that before. That I really feel something. I think it's great... And scary... It makes me want to run away really fast but at the same time I just want to be with you, to be with...
[She kisses him]
Prins Valentijn: Wait... you have to know... I'm not...
[She kisses him again]
Kiki Jollema: I know exactly who you are...
Prins Valentijn: You knew that the whole time? Why didn't you say anything...?
Kiki Jollema: I don't know... I thought it was sweet how you got all dressed up for me. I wanted to see how far you'd go.
Prins Valentijn: Well, pretty far...
Kiki Jollema: Yeah, pretty far...

Générique farfelu
During the initial credits, there is footage of the re-scheduled wedding. The rest of the credits are laid out as a wedding invitation/ card and have hand-written greetings to the couple inscribed, as well as stills from the film and small clips in floral heart shapes of couples (not necessarily from the film).

Finally a Dutch movie that isn't afraid of love

Who wouldn't want to unwrap Carice van Houten from her gift costume? She deserves her prince on the white horse because she comes to realize that she should believe in love. I also liked Anneke Blok, who plays a type that is rarely portrayed in Dutch movies: the busy mother who arranges everything and is heading towards a nervous breakdown. The gay couple is portrayed so matter-of-factly - not as some statement - that you are hardly aware that you are watching two men kiss each other on the lips.

The first half hour of the movie is especially funny. The movie then loses some of its momentum, despite the rapid cuts between the story lines. Some of the jokes fall flat and one extra character is hastily introduced. The finale on snowy Santa Claus's birthday makes up for a lot, although I found it a bit too understated to serve as the climax and bold moral statement that this movie deserves.

The multiple-story-line approach is a real balancing act and I applaud the filmmakers for their guts to set the bar so high. Also, I think to make a positive movie about love is in a way more daring than the cynical approach with a lot of cheap nudity, which since long has been the standard in Dutch movie-making.

Judging by the numbers of visitors, the filmmakers have succeeded in making the audience believe in love, at least for a short while..
