Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

loohzee No, i would not want to see this film again. The leading character is flat, you don't want to join his life, not even in the "sx"-episodes. You don't believe, what is happening to him, why she, Katharina, the only amiable character, comes back to him (is she this dull?), the plot is thinner than silk. The Californian studios would have made a acceptable main-streamer nothing out of it, but don't waste our (german) tax for "Filmfoerderung". And erase this little boy named Ben, who has lived through such many years of wisdom. Don't compare this to High Fidelity! Have You seen any DVD-Xtra-features: There are none visible...

werrybold To make it short...it´s boring. If you have seen german romantic comedy tales before, you already know that one. The characters are stereotype and the story trivial.Granted, the film has two or three funny moments, but they can´t compensate for the weakness of this movie.2 of 10 Points (and thats generous of me, because I like Nora Tschirner)

y3llow this is not one of the big ones. but, in fact, it is one of the funniest german movies of the last years. nothing´s really breath-taking, but what we got here is a young and refreshing camerawork and the unconventional intention just to do entertainment. the story itself ("how to get back the ex in 10 steps?")is known, but the young director´s enthusiasm is visible in every scene; and this feeling you get by watching it is what fills some holes considering plot, actors and not-THAT-funny jokes. a try to transfer the specific pop - literature style into the movies. nice one.

Mort-31 What I heard about this film, is that it is pretty bad, one critic even wrote that it will harm German cinema just as much as the book harmed German literature. Well, don't ask me why I went to see it in spite of this but I did.The result is - surprise, surprise - not as bad as I believed. The movie is funnier than most other modern German comedies... well, funny is not a correct word: there's a scene, and you find it utterly stupid but nevertheless you can't help laughing. Also the movie is quite short, so there is no time to get bored. And: Nora Tschirner is really very cute.Still, after watching this movie, I am not interested in any of Stuckrad-Barre's so-called pop books any more (because I finally know what this word means). They seem to be somewhat exhausting to read, and on the whole, the story isn't worth it.So, I wasn't completely right regarding my prejudices. 6 out of 10.
