I was intrigued by this because of the poster at first, but then I found out that it wasn't in English. I was disappointed but I decided to give it a shot anyway.
I was thoroughly amused by this film. You can tell that the writers/directors grew up in the 80s, with all the references to 80s films (especially at the end) and also NES stuff.
Yes, the humour is crude and politically incorrect and features a lot of the language you'd find in a gangsta rap song, but nothing really worse than your average crude American comedy a la American Pie or any number of Seth Rogen films. If you don't mind that (and don't mind reading subtitles) then you will be entertained.
The main actress is also very charming, and she gives of a very cute/naughty vibe, but they kept her grounded and attainable, which helps guys relate to the main character that likes her.
In the end, this isn't a classic, but it's quite entertaining, and has a bit of a soft spot too. I think if they made an English version of this, it could do quite well - especially with the right director like Adam Mckay or Rawson Thurber. In the end, I enjoyed it, even though I had to constantly dart my eyes down to see what they were saying.
I'd like to give it a 7.5/10, but since IMDb doesn't allow that I'm going with a 7, since it's not quite an 8/10.

Plot summary
Because of their parents' bad marriage, brothers Jules (Daniel Arends) and Max (Tim Haars) made a pact never to get into relationships with women, so they live a party lifestyle in which they sleep with different girls every day. This changes when Jules starts to date Anna (Sylvia Hoeks)--and Max falls in love with her. Can their bromance overcome this love triangle? Although the makers of this movie claim this movie is a romcom, it has the same adolescent humour we are accustomed to with Steffen en Flip.

Movie Reviews
They should make an English version of this
Bro's before Ho's; a man's romcom
Let's be honest, first up it's weird to read an English review about a Dutch film, written by a Dutchman, but because it's an international site, so be it.
Second of all, if you want to go see this movie with your girlfriend/wife/whatever you call her, be sure she's not squeamish or easily offended. The humor is rude, blunt, politicly uncorrect and hilarious if you like/love that sort of sh*t. If you read the reviews by the professionals, the sex of the person is obvious; men get it, (most)women don't. Luckily my wife has a healthy sense of unhealthy humor.
When my wife and I watched it, during the end credits, as the people walked by, you could see the same thing you could have seen if you went to Magic Mike, only then with most of the women; they looked as if they were forced to be there, and were determined to not like it (btw, I liked Magic Mike, but not as much as this one).
One last thing, stay for the end credits, especially if you love action movies!

A Dutch comedy? It's an insult even for weirdos! If you are looking towards watching a real enjoyable and clever comedy, don't wast your time watching this abomination. The only reason why it received reasonable ratings is because of the lead girl, Sylvia Hoeks.
