Job Gosschalk's first film as a Director (he also wrote the script, by the way...) has worked; that we can state undoubtedly. At the same time, he could probably not have done it without the talented great cast that, from lead-actor Paul de Leeuw (Maarten) to smaller but critical roles filled by Christopher Parren (Melvin), have achieved an outstanding acting-performance.
The movie starts at a low pace, inviting us to sit back and enjoy the humor and pretty faces shown on the screen. Later, and somewhat abruptly, the storyline transforms into an emotional - though still witty - plot that will appeal to those with a compassionate personality. Molly (Karina Smulders) lives with her older brother Maarten (Paul de Leeuw) and wants to move in with here boyfriend. Maarten realizes the emptiness of his existence but falls in love with another man. Molly also falls in love with another man because Teun is acting arrogant and cheats on her. Ooh, and Molly becomes sick and dies. If this is too much information, your might be right - main critique of this film would be that there are too many story lines involved...
Karina Smulders reaches a career-high achievement, in view of this newspaper, when she explains, basically from her death-bed, to both Melvin and Teun (latter played by Teun Luijkx) that she does not want to know who the father is and that they should both feel responsible for her child. Paul de Leeuw plays his role, as an over-caring and over-careful brother 'playing' Molly's father due to their parents' death, credibly. Christopher Parren plays, as he did in the TV-show Single, produced by Job Gosschalk, an introvert but handsome gentleman, which should attract many teenage girls to the theater.
The movie gets an 8 (if not higher) for the simple reason because it hits you. It's about people, real people, who deal with real issues. The movie is heavy and light at the same time - quite an accomplishment. If nothing more, "Alle Tijd" will make you forget about your own worries and will make you sad and happy at the same time. If that's not a reason to go to the movies, I wouldn't know what is.
