everything you have heard about this movie is true.
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Dutch French German, what a load of crap people, the women are board with the white men, and the men are wimps..great dads, but surprise he fails at being everything a woman wants and demands on queue.That is the story, she treats her mate like a throw away man and then comes back and he just takes her back.I baked you X so forgive me???Explain why he takes her back, hell explain why he kisses her.This is dated,plot: I got lost and now I am back Plot....so European woman have no character and men deserve to be treated badly.....
Soof is a Dutch film that really hits close to home, as my life is pretty similar to the one you see in this film—at least in some ways. Soof is a Dutch caterer who suddenly becomes a super-star caterer—and goes from barely getting by in her business to hosting party after party for the rich and famous. And, much of the film is about the difficulties she and her husband have dealing with this as well as its impact on their long marriage. Well, in our 40s, my wife went from being an unknown small-time author to world-famous and suddenly I was in the same situation as the husband, Kas. I quit my job and was now the house wife I mean, house husband. However, fortunately, our story is a bit different. I am an excellent cook, we BOTH worked on remodeling our home and we have never been happier—though I could easily see how folks in a similar situation could react much like Soof and Kas! Big change like this is hard on a marriage—especially when you've gotten yourselves into a bit of a rut. So how will this pair get themselves out of this rut or will they? This is the reason to watch the film.Soof works very well because the script is does a great job of balancing humor, drama and human nature. The way that two middle-aged married people work through this hurdle is what makes me assume the screenwriter, Marjolein Beumer, also must have lived through this sort of upheaval—or at least she really did her homework because she got it right! As a result, folks in their middle years really will enjoy the film and should be able to relate to much of it—such as the routine nature of sex (I loved where she fell asleep during this—that was really funny), the difficulty balancing a career and family as well as temptation—and Soof and Kas both have quite a bit of all these to deal with in the movie. It is fortunate that in addition to the excellent writing that the actors in the film do a great job of bringing their characters to life. Some of it is due to the writing and some due to the director and some due to just really nice acting.This is a winning comedy with a very sharp edge. My only complaint, and it's a very minor one, is that they made both Kas and Soof (particularly Kas) a bit too clueless and their characters occasionally too broad. But, on the other hand, if both had their heads on perfectly straight, there really wouldn't have been any reason for the film in the first place! Folks successfully working through such big transitions in their lives would make for a very boring motion picture!! The ones that have to struggle to reinvent themselves—that makes for an interesting film. Well worth your time and a film that sure made me smile—especially with the ridiculous but fun finale.
I really liked this movie. It's a dutch comedy. The story is simple, but I didn't mind. The acting is good enough to forget that. A lot of Dutch movies aren't very good, but this one really is. It's heartwarming. I laughed out loud a lot. Lies Visschedijk is very good as Soof. But I was curious to see Dan Karaty, who is a choreograph instead of an actor. He surprised me in a good way. He was actually very good. It's a nice movie and very recognizable. I really loved the last scene. The song is still in my head, but I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Soof is real Dutch entertainment.If you like to spend a night having Dutch actors show their comedian skills; you might as well consider Soof worth seeing.The plot is not dragging and the speed in which the story unfolds is OK.Locations on farmhouses and at parties are well directed.Soofs plot is simple ;as are most Dutch films fit for general audiences.No complications enjoying this ,somewhat dated comedy. Aditional fun is that it supplies an American dutch actor (Dan Karaty) a small bitt part ,which he survives as a romeo. Soof comes back to her family just in time not to disappoint her children ,instead of running away with her American lover.
