What, no tulips? A corny Dutch tourism-like film with cops and robbers. Everything from Holland except tulips. Watched the whole thing though, mostly from a nostalgic point of view, I happen to be Dutch, but I wanted to see tulips. I’m sure even in the Netherlands, boys don’t wear suits anymore. I don’t want to make ‘troobles’, but did I mention the tulip thing?
