Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

kai_meschnark Great music, very funny story, wonderful actors. A young so called manager (Tom Schilling) wants to get more success for his band "Apollo Schwabing" (Stadlober and the very pretty Jessica Schwarz), so he organizes a huge festival with "D.A.F." as headliner. The problem is, that the band "D.A.F." don't know anything about that... If you raised in the early 80's in Austria or Germany like me, the film is a great reminiscence to that time. The music (D.A.F., Human League, XTC and the songs written in typical 80's NDW style for the fictional band Apollo Schwabing), the fashion, the youth cultures (punks, new wavers, "ökos") and even the TV spots, its all so authentic ! But even younger people could like this film, because the best is the very funny story and the real great camera. Have fun !

webmaster-682 Beeing located in Munich, Germany in the early '80, this Film shows the "Adventures" of a young Music Manager who wants to push the popularity of his local band. To do so, he decides to host a big festival headlining D.A.F., positioning his band as warmup. The problem is that D.A.F decided to stop playing gigs, the Circus Krone Arena is expensive, and the whole project seems to be a little too big for him. Of course, romances, bankrobbery, fraud and a lot of New Wave - NDW music make this film a must see. The only thing I didn't like that much is that the story appears to be a little juvenile for people who like movies about the '80s. I give 9 out of 10.

zymi25 First I was not very much convinced of seeing a great movie - I expected simple jokes, usual clichés of the 80s, average performance - BUT: I got great humor, a lovable picture of the 80s which is not exaggerated and very convincing actors in marvellous roles - YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS FILM ! Don't miss the "verrückter Schaum"-Joke ;o)

mm-1 I thought I would hate it! But it is great great great! Funny, funny, funny! Even if you are too young to now the 80s. But don't miss the "NATO-Doppelbeschluss"-Joke!!!!
