The character Brooke gets a little boring (repetitive) after a while, and the story just seems to waddle along, except for the occasional, more intense, developments. Near the end, it would have been good to simply end it when Brooke arrives in Las Vegas; the extra scenes in the limo and with her new 'friends' didn't add anything for me. With all these shortcomings, the really intense scene in which she dumps her baby, does not work as it should. It should have been a killer scene (no pun intended), but alas.
What remains is an okay drama film with some nice tragicomic touches (counting cars). The acting was well done overall (somehow I was really glad that annoying mother went into the water pretty soon, though). A special mention for the supporting role by Carolien Spoor, in more than one way, and even Esmee van Kampen's bazonga's get extra special screen time... I can't mind.
I had bigger expectations, but it was certainly doable. 6 out of 10.
