Apparently this is the 4th biggest (homegrown) box office hit in the Netherlands but I wonder if anyone remembers it fondly? To me it seemed to have dated poorly and the slapstick elements jarred badly with the serious themes of domestic abuse and prostitution.

The extras on the DVD claimed that Verhoeven didn't want to just make a cheeky sexploitation caper and instead interviewed many working prostitutes with a view to showing what their lives were really like. I have to say that to me it seems like he failed and it is indeed a cheeky sexploitation caper (with subtitles).
