Nightlife

After spending an entire day at a 5,000-year-old archaeological site, I found myself tired and worn out in my hotel room. I decided to order Jiao Laga Ji chicken for delivery, settled in, and turned on a movie. It was the perfect way to unwind! Elyas M'Barek as Milo and Palina Rojinski as Sunny provided exactly the entertainment I needed in this German comedy directed by Simon Verhoeven, who also played one of the bachelors in the film.

While falling in love has always been easy, building a stable relationship from that love can be quite challenging. Our protagonist, Milo, starts off strong until his friend Renzo (Frederick Lau) makes an appearance.

The film is light, fast-paced, and genuinely funny for me!

Tonally this is a bit all over the place. But the actors do make up for it. Maybe if you're not into Elyas (for whatever reasons), you may see that differently. If you are a fan you are already sold. In the unlikely case you are "objective" about him (at the present time that is), I am sure he will be able to sway you with his charisma and a decently written character.

It's nothing too big or surprising you'll find here. But there are nice touches and as said before the actors who really are able to turn things around. While the female lead may seem to only have a smaller part in all - she has some interesting things to do - nothing major, but at least she gets a few character traits. A nice movie overall, with a funny ending ... I reckon some saw it coming.

The comedy is so undemanding but also so lacking of any substance.

Another German unnecessary not funny comedy. I am native German speaker (but not German) and such movies are the reasons why everyone says Germans don't have sense of humor.

If it would be a teenage comedy it might be acceptable but otherwise just no.

Title says it all, it's nothing special, but a fast-paced, witty and colourful crime comedy, with a nice romance thrown in for good measure (which doesn't get too much screen time, just the right amount). The first few minutes (and opening credits) are slower paced to introduce the three main characters, but once the pieces are on board, the story picks up speed and, while sometimes going pretty much over-the-board, never diverges into pure fantasy - as crazy as some situations may be, the protagonists stay believable, and so we're able to stay with them. Well done!

I am keen on this movie, for its cast. Frederick Lau is a very talented actor, never saw him acting badly. My favorite movie with him is Victoria, but he is good everywhere. Elias M'Barek is my soft spot since his silly school trilogy Suck me Shakespeare, he just fits German comedies, thats what he does. And also I like when both of them are joined by Palina Rojinski, who alludes to completely different world and style, but here she actually plays well old-fashioned, out-of-place beauty who is waiting for her prince in a comical way (women like that still exist, believe or not), cause there is nothing more ridiculous than waiting for a monogamous relationship in Berlin. Also, "Russian gangsters" in the film are cute, and even terrible "mobster" Kempa. So, it is my feelgood film for relaxation. And it reminds me of good old times in Berlin.
