Best friends Hugo and Goof set up a scam picking up female backpackers newly arrived in Amsterdam. They sleep with them, rob them, and then tear a page out of their passports to keep as a souvenir, since the boys' goal is to take a trip around the world from within Amsterdam. Their set-up is quickly threatened when seasoned traveler Lara enters the fray. Appropriately named, Goof immediately falls in love with her and becomes obsessed with the idea of taking her to Siberia to see the country of her childhood. Now that the rules of the game have changed between Hugo and Goof, life becomes very complicated for everyone involved in this fast-paced caper of who's hustling who? (Verleiher-Text)

Wow, what a mess. First off, I have no idea how this got labeled as a comedy, and second, I could not stand the two leads. They were idiots—poorly written and awkwardly directed idiots. The whole thing was so cheap and off-putting, I found myself hoping one of them would come down with something ridiculous like shingles just to end the film early. An absolute trainwreck from start to finish.

A mix of styles borrowed from the American independent scene lightly spiced with Tarantino (the protagonists are three little thieves and scammers) and the European film movement of the 90s focused on the young generation with flashy editing and techno music. It has a decent pace with some humorous situations. Though not groundbreaking, it is an above-average comedy. Overall impression: 70%.
