Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) In general, I don't think too highly of Til Schweiger as an actor and after watching Keinohrhasen, I'd even say that he's certainly a better writer and possibly director as well. That doesn't mean, however, that his acting in "Keinohrhasen" was bad. Ludo is the perfect role for him playing a bon vivant photographer who, as often and intensely as he can, enjoys the pleasures of life: cars, wine and women of course. Until a mishap (crashing boxer Klitschko's marriage proposal) at his job results in him being sentenced to 300 hours of community service. Consequently, he meets kindergarten worker Anna (Nora Tschirner), a woman who he used to bully back when they were children and she certainly enjoys her revenge right now. Of course, not much surprisingly, the relation between the two quickly changes in the completely opposite direction.I think this is a great film to watch with your significant other, or on a all-girls movie night. It's probably generally more suited for female audiences (as mostly with the genre), but any man who refuses to watch it because of that, is clearly missing out as it offers the audience some nice lessons on relationships, love, sex and life of course. Literally every scene has some kind of funny momentum and it's really an excellent screenplay that Schweiger and Anika Decker came up with. It oozes charm and humor and even at not much under 2 hours, which is always a bit critical for comedies, the film never starts to drag. Tschirner creates a truly memorable character and delivers a convincing display of all different kinds of emotions: anger, vindictiveness, joy, love, despair... and if it did not happen already earlier, it was this film that catapulted her into the Champions League of German actresses. In addition to her great performance, Schweiger really used his connections to get almost everybody with a big name in German cinema to have at least a 5-second cameo. Slightly bigger parts are played by Jürgen Vogel (as himself), Armin Rohde and Rick Kavanian, who are all three nothing short of fantastic with the characters they're given and bring some much-appreciated comedic delight.If you enjoyed this film, there's also a sequel featuring most of the main characters from the first you could take a look at and right now there's an animated spin off coming out featuring the rabbit without ears and chicken with two ears, the two characters that gave the films their names. This one is certainly more suitable to children than the two live action films, but with Schweiger and his daughter doing the voice acting certainly not exclusively. In any case, I recommend "Keinohrhasen" a lot. It gave me a pretty good time watching for sure.
Gordon-11 This film is about an attractive journalist who likes one night stands, and a kindergarten teacher who believes in lasting true love.The poster of "Rabbit Without Ears" looks so old that I thought it was an old film from years ago. So, when I watched the film, I was surprised by the contemporary feel that has no relation to the poster. It is a fun romantic comedy, with two drastically different views on love and sex. The ample eye candy keeps viewers entertained, while there are also plenty of emotional subplots to savour. The chemistry between the two leads is amazing, they do seem like a couple in love! The setting of kindergarten is also irresistible, as the children are so cute! It is a pity that the spoiled kid is not developed further, once his role is finished, he is rarely seen again. I enjoyed watching "Rabbit Without Ears", as there are elements for everyone to enjoy.
Karl Self Keinohrhasen squeezes by as a chick flick. Of course, if you're into Til Schweiger, this is what you'll be getting galore (although he shows surprisingly little skin here). If, like me, you revile this no-talent pretty boy, you're in for a long and dire ride.Ludo (Til Schweiger) is a hotshot tabloid journalist and a serial one- night-stander, before he is sentenced to 300 hours of social service in a Kindergarten. This day care centre, unlike other such institutions in Berlin, is set on a farm somewhere in Denmark (by the looks of it) and is run by no more than two women, who are also flatmates and sleep in the same bed. Cue lots of cute scene of macho hardbody Til Schweiger being a super surrogate dad for the tiny tykes, and eventually and predictably falling for the square (she wears glasses) ugly duckling Anna.So the story is super-naff and Til Schweiger plays the only role he is capable of (himself), but this is partially compensated by the female leads Nora Tschirrner (Anna) and Alwara Höfels (Miriam, Anna's sassy colleague). While Höfel is likable as the trash-talking floozy with a heart, Tschirrner believably and memorably carries of her role of a socially inept and insecure everywoman by rebranding her natural laconicism as the protective shield of a social outcast.Overall, it wasn't as bad as I had anticipated.
Dawn_ch I gotta admit, up till now I have neither been a big fan of Til Schweiger nor of German movies in general. But I changed my mind after watching Keinohrhasen. I simply loved it. Yes, it is completely predictable (what romantic comedy isn't?) and yes, there are a few inconsistencies and even some unnecessary scenes - but who cares?! The chemistry between Til and Nora is - surprisingly - just great, the story is classic, but so beautiful and I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard in any movie.All in all, even though I'm not a big romantic, I was, to my own surprise, somehow very touched by this movie and I enjoyed it very much, I laughed, I cried, I sympathized - the perfect entertainment. I will definitely buy it on DVD.
