I'm a huge fan of "Die Ärzte", I love this movie. If you don't know or don't like the Best Band in the world (official title :D), you don't need to see this movie. It has nothing special beside "Die Ärzte", sorry I'm biased :D.

I guess nearly everybody who watches the movie today does so because the (at least in Germany) famous punk-rock band Die Ärzte played the main characters, at a time when they weren't popular yet. Anyway, the movie is very funny to watch. It's a pretty low budget production, and it's not really "great", but it's interesting to see what it was like in the early 80's in Germany. Die Ärzte don't act to bad, although it is a bit funny that Farin plays the main characters, as in the later years Bela would turn out to be the better actor. I guess he was to strange for the producer... It's as I said, if you are a fan of Die Ärzte you should definately watch the movie, if you are not, or are not even from Germany, you might not find it too interesting unless you are in teenage dramas that are realistic (which means they are NOT like American Pie or something like that).

I may be biased because I am a MASSIVE fan of Die Ärzte but I really loved this movie, even though my German is quite poor. It's easy to understand and quite funny. It's also well made considering the fact I don't think it had an enormous budget. But Bela and Farin were great in it, and the girl who played Anje was good, unless she's that horrible in real life. For non-fans, it's main appeal would be the complete and utter Eighties-ness of it, which is simply hilarious. Such enormous hair-do's, and Anje's scene where dances away her pain. Classic!

This movie is cult! Die Ärzte call themselves now "Best band of the world" and this movie is a reason to agree. Although we'll see Sahnie instead of now bass guitar Rod and this is NOT a biography, you are granted inside looks into the German punk scene of the 80's!
