Storyline

Because of a bad marriage of their parents, two brothers Jules (Daniel Arends) and Max (Tim Haars) made a pact never to get into a relationship with a woman. Therefore, they live a party-life in which they sleep with a different girl every day. However this changes when Jules starts to date Anna (Sylvia Hoeks) and Max falls in love with her. Can their bromance overcome this love triangle. Although the makers of this movie claim this movie is a romcom, it still has the same adolescent humour we are accustomed to with Steffen en Flip.

Trivia

In the mid-credits sequence, the mental patients are shown re-enacting several famous movies. The last one they do is New Kids Turbo (2010), which featured cast members Tim Haars and Huub Smit, and was also written and directed by Steffen Haars and Flip Van der Kuil. In fact, Huub Smit's character Jordy impersonates the New Kids character "Richard", which was the role Smit played in New Kids Turbo (2010).

User Reviews

Bro's before Ho's: full of energy and juvenile enthusiasm.

A fresh and funny comedy from the Netherlands, describing a bunch of people turning 30 (some more fortunate, some much less), all in the wake of American movies like most Western young people actually are.

The movie is nice because is full of energy and juvenile enthusiasm: it shows that being young and sexually uninhibited does not necessarily mean that you are also able to cope with more serious matters such as love, life or commitment.

Plot is predictable, however it's a comedy: honestly if it were not for the Dutch language I would not have been able to tell it from an American movie of the same genre.
