Reviews

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Richard Poeling Well you all know how the old saying goes, "You can't please everyone". Apparently the other reviewer of this movie just doesn't like the kind of humor in this movie. I, however, enjoyed it. The movie is based on one of Ralph König's comics. Another movie that was based on another one of his comics was "Der Bewegte Mann". It was released in the U.S.A. under the title "Maybe, Maybe Not..." and stared Til Schweiger. Unlike that movie, this one has yet (as of this review) been released in the U.S.A. It's really a shame, because I know my non-German-speaking friends would enjoy it as much as I did. There are many funny scenes in this movie. One in particular (involving a sex shop and a container of buttermilk - or something along those lines - was so funny the first time I saw it, I was in tears it hurt so much). Perhaps it's because I read the comic first and knew what to expect and that allowed me to enjoy the movie as much as I did.If this movie ever comes out dubbed in English, you can be sure I'll get my friends together to go see it. Definitely worth seeing.
stemako This is one of the best German comedies ever up to now, you cannot stop laughing, straight-forward, nothing you miss. Simple story I admit, but well-balanced as the weak and strong points of every participating side (gays, lesbians, heteros) is revealed. Enjoy!
green-29 Hardly top-notch cinema, but very funny for what it is -- a light comedy about a straight man trying to be as sexually unrestrained as his gay neighbor. Certainly the best of the movies based on Ralf König comics. Well acted and fairly well cast, though the moving guy was just a pretty muscle-boy instead of the tough, rather frightening hoodlum of the comic. The dubbing of Kriemhild's singing voice wasn't very well done; the lip movements weren't even close to being in synch with the singing. But still very funny -- my sides were aching after the scene in the video booth in the sex shop!
Benjamin Stello This is another typical german "comedy", seen both from the plot and the humour. The plot is rather simple: A player in an orchestra is left by his wife because he purchased a porno and gets into a sexual relation with a opera star by the name of Kriemhild (Wagner, you know, this is probably supposed to be funny!). His gay neighbour by the name of Siegfried (Wagner again! A running gag?!) has relationship problems himself because he has one-night-stands but loves only his ex-friend... then there are several situations which are probably supposed to be funny but are not. In addition, the actors are throughout the movie nothing but bad, really bad. The director seems to have no idea what "timing" or these things are for- all in all one of the worst films I have seen in years. And I do watch many. 1 of 10, save your money, and if you do not, you are warned!
