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

Goofs
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.

Quotes
[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...

Crazy credits
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).

Zo goed wassie ook weer niet.

I heared a lot about this movie. I'm not a dutch film lover. But I like movies with Paul de Leeuw in it. He's so wrong, that makes him funny.

But it was valentine's day and I had to buy my wife a present, so I thought why not the limited edition. Did I know that this movie was bad?! The movie is about relationships and how several people are somehow connected to each other. Is this a new concept? No it isn't. The actors and actresses sucked a lot! Wendy van Dijk was very funny in Ushi en Van Dijk, but in this movie she could show us that she cannot act at all.

Even that sucker, Valerio, cannot act. But I knew that years ago when he had his dating show on tmf. That is very pity, but I still don't know why people think that a pretty boy can automatically act. It ain't so! To stand by this statement I will bring up the next thing: Paul the Leeuw is a very good actor, but very underrated. Paul is Like the dutch Robin Williams. I am a huge fan of Robin Williams, he is not an attractive guy, but he can act as the best! He can act comic roles, but also dramatic or even serious.

At the moment in the film where the boyfriend of Paul runs out of his house in the snow to get his bike, there Paul stands with a beautiful smile. That was acting. Great acting is about not saying anything, but saying a lot with your facial impressions. Very well, if the rest of the movie was as good as that one moment, I had liked that movie a lot.

But this movie was not about Paul de Leeuw, there were a lot of other bad actors and actresses in the movie that made this movie (for me) not worth watching a second time. Or at least I'll fast forward it to the moment of Paul in the snow.
