All Inclusive is a new comedy directed by Aniëlle Webster, director of So What Is Love and Housewives Don't Exist.
Jacco (Tibor Lukács) and Sylvie (Jennifer Hoffman) go on an all-inclusive holiday in Bonaire with their children. Before they leave, Sylvie informs Jacco that she wants to put their relationship on 'pause'. Jacco, who is in the middle of a midlife crisis, is having such a hard time during the holidays. For example, the relationship with his wife and children is trying to improve, to ensure that they can continue as a family after their time on Bonaire.
For this film, director Aniëlle Webster collaborates with two writers who have written previous films directed by her. Despite the previous experience with each other, they still ended up with a messy film script. The story can quickly come across as separate and unrealistic with characters making strange decisions. The idea of putting the relationship on a break, for example, before you go on holiday together, seems a bit impractical. For example, they say they want to continue their holiday separately, but then still sleep in the same bed. Due to the unusual story and decisions, the film is sometimes difficult to follow and you don't really care about most of the characters.
The film also lacks an eye for detail due to, for example, the strange decisions of the characters, so that everything no longer happens in logical ways. They also didn't check the final movie properly, because there is an error in an edit between two scenes. In this, a character stands up to get something, but after a quick image change, sits back in the same place with the retrieved object in his hands.
The comedy is often also predictable or unrealistic, so there is little to laugh about the film itself. The characters themselves are often the ones who laugh the most, while the audience remains silent. With the idea for the film, it could have been more appropriate if they had used a bit more of the drama genre. The film could have been a bit better and a bit more realistic. Furthermore, the almost two hours long playing time is also somewhat unnecessary. An average comedy has a suitable running time of about an hour and a half. This unnecessary, long running time is also due to the unnecessarily large film cast, some of which were not even really needed at the front of the final film.
Thanks to the lesser script, most of the actors also don't come across as strong or credible. Because of this, as a viewer you don't really care about most of the characters and their problems. Some of the cast members also seem to use the film more as an excuse to go to Bonaire for a reason. If there had been some lesser actors and so unnecessary characters in the movie, they could have had a clearer movie.
