an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

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.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

When I saw this movie, I noticed, that it had one joke in it, that made me laugh (that's OK - Periode 1: Traumschiff Surprise sported nil).And it had Helge Schneider in it, too. What else could one ask for?In Detail: Waalkes is still a main character. That's a bummer because the best Waalkes parts were the samples and tidbits of his silly noises played during the end credits.Rüdiger Hoffmann actually filled his small role pretty well (he plays the magic mirror). One wouldn't expect that, knowing him as a so-called comedian.The others aren't really worth mentioning. And I refuse to give credits to Nina Hagen, as others feel driven to do.Luckily enough, as I said, Helge Schneider is in it, in too small a role, though, unfortunately.So all in all a movie that can be missed out with no regrets.

...just unbelievable how these old jokes keep me laughing, the cast is absolutely packed with big names even down to the smallest roles. I just wonder how they got all these stars to play this stuff, kind of unusual for the German film scene to do some stuff just for the fun of it and produce it well. I've never seen this combination The Soundtrack is nice, no wonder considering who done that part. i'm pleased to see that _entertainment_ is possible and easy with a film like this, far above the "comedy"-hype here in Germany. well done, Otto and all the others. i watched with my girlfriend and it's -two thumps up- just 9/10 because maybe some other movies try to top this

ouch...that REALLY did hurt. and not because my belly was laughing so hard. the whole movie was was jampacked with the absolutely worst stuff German "comedy" has to offer. no joke, really no joke at all, was slightly funny. It's a complete emberassing mess. I hope this crap will be forbidden because of the possible damage it could do to your brain. I still have headaches. Please go and see "Gigli" or a Britney Spears movie, even this "gems" are 1000x better than this. It's no wonder at all when people think Germans can't be funny. This is the complete opposite of real funny, intelligent comedy. But maybe it was shot as some kind of project for mentally ill, pathetic unfunny comedians. You never know.Just sad.

It is quite a surprise: Though his previous movies were quite bad, Otto's new movie is very nice and funny! And that's because it isn't a Otto-Film but a film with Otto, who is not the but one of the main actors. This time there is a whole lot of them, e.g. Mirco Nontschew, Ralf Schmitz, Helge Schneider, Harald Schmidt and so on. But no one of them tries to put himself in front row, it is really an ensemble movie, and that's what makes it good.Maybe it is because the movie has a very good director: Sven Unterwaldt, who has worked for many important TV-comedies and has a nice feeling for timing and a believable look. "Sieben Zwerge" is actually a lovable dwarfs movie! It isn't a joke-joke-joke-movie, but actually a nice comedy for families. It probably will attract the "old" Otto-Fans and the new young ones. As could be seen at the premiere: Kids love him and his cast.
