I saw this movie in the sneak preview, so a little bit before the official premiere. The movie should give a insight how Moroccan people live here in Holland and how we Dutch deal with them. So, it is a serious movie with some jokes here and there. The story is OK in general, with some cliché's here and there. I guess it is true that a lot of Dutch are skeptic towards Marokkan people and the other way around. Both cultures have difficulty accepting each other, because both think so different about a lot of things. The Moroccan actors are very good in my opinion and look really stereotype. Performance of some Dutch actors could be better, since I did not find them very convincing.
Minor Spoilers: - A scene where it is shown how 'open' the relationship between a Dutch man and woman is. Though it is not true of course for almost all relation ships, the actors where not very convincing in most parts. So you wouldn't believe it anyway. - One thing I found truly amazing is a Moroccan guy in the movie who sings some very old Dutch classic songs really well. He should get nominated for an award for singing it so terrific. It makes me curious about the origins of those songs.
Further, I think the storyline could be better. Different characters are introduced and should have some relationship with each other. The story goes from one group of characters to the next one. Some earlier characters are in the picture again much later in the movie. I almost forgot about them.
Overall it is not much better than Souf Souf Habibi or Het Schnitzelparadijs but definitely worth to watch it sometimes.
