From my favorite movies..

Brilliant and touching

Boring, long, and too preachy.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Hey guys, don't get me wrong, but this movie has changed the way my circle of friends talk to each other.(Kampmann die FETTSAU and thousand other phrases) I was born in Hamm/NRW, that's about 20 miles away from Unna, where this masterpiece was filmed. The Characters, the story, the locations, the humor are perfect. We have discerned ourselves in the way the characters talk, in the way they think and in the way they act. This is a story about friendship, about adventures and about our culture. Only Peter Thorwart, who was born in Unna, was able to meet the kernel of this region. I was never a fan of comedy, and it is not easy to get me laughing, but this movie is thoroughly brilliant. A film about our region couldn't be better put in the limelight. I love it, my friends love it, all people between 20 and 30, who live in this region love this movie, because it's word-for-word cult!

This is the best film ever! Just 3 other films I've watched more than twice. But this film doesn't get boring even after 15 times watching it. It's all the details that make this film worth watching it ...and that make worth watching it again. After having watched it the second time I was really surprised how many funny elements I didn't catch the first time watching it. These details vary from the license plates, some videos in Frankies shop or funny repetitions especially of Andy and many many things more. Non-German watchers be warned. You have to have lived in Germany for quite some time to get most the jokes (-:To come to an end... all others watch this film or you have really missed something!!!

This is a very lovingly made German gangster comedy, and it definitely works.Great actors, even the supporting roles; great performances (Oliver Korittke, Diether Krebs, Martin Semmelrogge as the dim-witted Schlucke, and, best of all, Ralf Richter --,Is -- der -- geil!'); good story with appropriate twists and turns, but not too sophisticated, and a grandiose directing -- nothing else to be said. I hope people won't forget this movie too soon; it's really a jewel of German humour (this for all the people who didn't think Germans do have a sense of humour).Go see it or get the DVD!

Maybe some Austrian comedies are not funny for German people because their humour lies in the way words are „Austrishly` pronounced. I think the humour of this German movie also lies in the actors' accent, if it was supposed to be funny. I think it was, but I didn't find any opportunity to laugh. Many trivial German comedies are like this.There is much more this movie is supposed to be. The director wanted to mix a little „Pulp Fiction` with a little „The Big Lebowski` and a lot of local colour. He failed. These were the longest two hours of my life.
