Reviews
Very disappointing...
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
This has to be one of the WORST movies I have seen. I tried to like this movie but they managed to mess up practically every individual aspect that pertain to this film! Cheap dialogue, no character development, no tension, not enough story to pull you in, no action apart from some REALLY cheap scenes. It seems they tried some things on the set and said to each other "hey this looks rather cool, why not put this in there" after which the director probably said "Yeah....YEAH this is genius!" and got back to snorting coke or something. When it comes to acting I think the only person that TRIED to make the movie worked is Daan Schuurmans but in the end it is all for nothing. Cause this movie SUCKS!! 2/10
I saw the movie in the evening and outside it was 28 degrees celcius, this movie is a very nice movie for such an evening, very romantic, very much action and very good actors. I really liked the easy story and I hope I can see Costa 2 soon!
The audience left the theater with a huge smile on their faces and that´s why this film can proudly bear the title Feel Good Movie. Costa! feels like a 90 minute mini vacation to the Spanish coast. The film is incredible popular with teenagers and twenty somethings. I liked this Coming Of Age story because I could identify with the proces that three lead characters go through: They escape from peer pressure and realise that they can live their life according to their own standards. Actress Georgina Verbaan steals the show as the clumsy Janet. She is Cinderella, picked on by her older sister and friends, but rescued by the handsome prins. But the prins comes in disguise because he is a plugger: a guy who has to talk beautiful girls into visiting his disco (and his apartment afterwards). I enjoyed the beachscenes, the dancing and the music, and the other storylines, because next to the lead story are numberous other stories about love, friendship, growing up and persuiing your dreams.
Ok let's start with saying that when a dutch movie is bad, it's REALLY BAD. Rarely something with a little bit of quality comes along(Lek, Karakter) here in holland but not often. Costa! is about 4 girls going to Spain to go on vacation, party, get drunk, get laid (u know the drill). It's also about the world of Clubbers or Proppers. Pro's who're trying to lure the crowd into their club.I'm not sure how long it took to write the script, but i suspect somewhere between 15 minutes and 20 minutes because you're watching a bunch of random scenes for 90 minutes long. Nothing, and i mean nothing is believable in this movie. It's almost too riduculous for words what happens with the storyline. Suddenly the movie transforms into a sort of karate action thing. With a one-on-one fight with 'the bad guy in black' and cliche car chase scenes trough a watertank-car (can it be more cheesy). Also the words character-development and casting are unfamiliar to the makers.After having seen "Traffic" 3 days before this, i fell from sheer brilliance, from a piece of art to this. This is film-making at it's saddest. And don't start about low budget. Because even with a low budget you could write a better script. It almost seems that the film-makers were too busy partying themselves to make a decent movie.Anyway the chicks in the water at the end made it up a little bit, but for the rest of it, don't waste your money on such garbage.
