    Strange, dull and the wrong amount of feminism
    "De Omweg" is one of the worst movies i have ever seen. I watched it on a pay 2 view-channel, and i'm so glad i didn't get the bill... The story is set in 1980's... Why?? Nobody knows! The story could have been told in any period because there is absolutely no reference to the date (just the scenery). There is so little dialogue in the movie that it becomes dull and when there is a line it's something like: "Could you pass the sugar". But the main reason i dislike it is because of the huge amount of strange feminism. Although feminism isn't a bad thing, this movie makes it bad. All the male characters are b***ards. The boyfriend who dumps the lead character when she's pregnant, the strict father, the friend who tries to rape her and offcourse the German writer who is so dislikable that you can't understands why she likes him. After the movie you don't like men, even if you are one! The only good thing about this movie is Tamar van den Dop, but that's because i have a weak spot for curly-hair women...
