Storyline

Anna gets dumped by Dirk after a vacation together for three weeks. He's decided a month ago to return to his wife. After being miserable, she decides to skip on commitment and love but decides to go for "having fun", as that is what men seem to do as well. She encounters Rob, a good-looking funny confident construction worker. She also encounters Sander, a sensitive romantic musician who has had no luck with women. She decides to date both of them, without strings attached and without them knowing about each other. However, somewhere along the way she falls in love with BOTH of them. (Perhaps some of you might have seen that one coming) The fact that Rob and Sander are each others roommates does not seem to make matters easier for her as well.

User Reviews

damn, never seen such a crap

What a terrible movie, too predictable in all its facets. From the beginning you can imagine every little detail of what is going to be happen next. A pity, because dutch movies just started to get on a higher level. However, 'Liever Verliefd' confirms exactly the prejudice about dutch movies...
