Gooische Vrouwen (English title: Vipers Nest) is a 2011 Dutch film.[1] It is based on the television series Gooische Vrouwen.[2] After the creators announced that the fifth season of the series would be the last,[3] they revealed on 7 November 2009 that they were working on a film adaptation.[4] It earned more than 41.7 million Euro in the box office.[5] The sequel Gooische Vrouwen 2 became the best-visited film in the Netherlands in 2014.
The film follows the four main characters from the TV series. Cheryl catches her husband cheating on her, Anouk half-accidentally commits art fraud, Claire leaves her fiancé at the altar, and Roelien fights with her family because of her pro-environment views. To escape from all this, they decide to attend a self-help seminar in a French castle. When this turns out to not help them at all, they then go shopping in Paris. Meanwhile, their husbands' lives become a mess and they miss their wives so much. After a tearful call from Cheryl's husband, the wives decide it's time to come back home.
The soundtrack album was released by EMI.[6]
