Nonureva Really Surprised!
Cortechba Overrated
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
bruno-32 I saw this charming movie after finding it in Netflix. It has its moments. Sometimes, its amateurish editing gets in the way, and of course, the language barrier. If your Germen, you would get the funny lines that are edited in the cap lines. The actor who portrays the cop, unknown to me anyway, does an excellent job of confusion. nudity is smartly done...The one part that bothered me slightly, is that the cop has no idea if he was 'violated". Come on now, there are two areas that one can be 'violated'...one would be soreness in the rear department and some slop in the front department. Sorry for the crudeness...but why beat around the bush, as they say. LOL See it...its sexy and fun.
sunznc Regular Guys starts out with a silly scene about 2 cops undercover and busting someone over an incident I can't even recall. I was thinking I had picked up a very dated & low budget, poorly acted film. What was this silliness? However, as the film progressed I began to like it a bit more. There are some very endearing moments in this film and the actors make their characters very sympathetic. I began to think I had picked out a very unique film.True, some of the production seems very cheaply done and it appears slightly amateurish at times. Can't argue that. But there is something very likable here and I'm glad I saw this.I bought the interpersonal relationships here and really found myself liking these characters but I think the film is poorly executed at times. It's too bad because the actors did a very good job and by the time the film ends I wanted it to keep going.I would enjoy seeing it again despite some of the blatant flaws.
ccmiller1492 Christoph M. Ohrt (who resembles a very young Richard Johnson) is outstanding in the lead role of a rather insensitive cop who suddenly finds his entire ego eroding when his girlfriend dumps him for a bodybuilder. This confused state of affairs is precipitated by his classic "god was I drunk last night" syndrome stemming from the fact that he wakes up one morning in bed and in the arms of a bigger and younger man who quite honesty declares he's in love with him! It is truly priceless to watch Ohrt's character deal with this...as he retreats into himself and gradually changes his nature...his only way of attempting to understand this forces him to be more observant and tolerant of others as he comes to learn more about himself. It's a painful and even a humorous situation which compromises him more than once, and in its unfolding imparts a great deal of joy and pleasure (entertainment!) to viewers. This comedic gem should not be overlooked. And hopefully, we will see much more of the delightful Mr. Orht in future.
stephenfrakes I totally enjoyed this movie, even with having to read the English. I can honestly say that it is one of my favorites. I could relate to Christoph and Edgar, having been in a similar situation. The scene in the locker room at the police station was great too, after rumors were going around. Christoph had reached a point in his thinking where he realized that it just didn't matter. And this happening after Christoph and Edgar came to terms with their relationship the night before. I also loved the ending. I wish I could say more, but I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't watched it. I liked the movie so much, I bought the DVD.
