I only found out Karoline Herfurth was the lead, the director and one of the writers after I had seen the movie, well done on all counts.

I don't speak or understand German, so had to read the subtitles, but that's OK, I really like non English movies, sometimes I think more than I like English movies.

This is another German movie that I really enjoyed, basically from start to finish. I would have given it a 10, but some of the characters bothered me a little and it is not perfect.

Karoline Herfurth really is great as one lead and Friedrich Mücke did a good job as the other lead, almost all of the cast were very very good. Very well acted.

Some would say this was predictable, and they would be right, but anyone who enjoys rom coms would know they are often predictable and should expect it. That does not detract from the movie.

This one is as good as any other rom com I have seen and would watch it again. If you like rom coms with happy endings and a few laughs along the way this is one for you.

I didn't liked this movie. I expected more. Some moments were OK others were way to boring. Scenario was too complex. I stopped watched after 30 minutes and felt asleep.

I reckon sometime in the future you won't have to swipe but just think about it. Is romance dead? I think many would say yes ... on the other hand it may just have evolved into something else. It is a different ball game out there for sure. Not that those who were good at it, have lost any of their "power".

I reckon it is easier to say no to someone when you just have a screen and not the person to look at. But back to this, which is quite the heartfelt movie and quite the performances as well. It may be predictable (what Romantic comedy isn't), but it is well made.

Pros: -First 4 minutes were great visual storytelling -I personally liked the overall atmosphere -The whole thing with the SMS was new to me -Some moments were funny Cons: -Some moments were not funny -Some annoying characters -The friends of the two leading roles were kinda unnecessary for the story -Very predictable and clichéd -Despite of the interesting themes, I found none of the characters interesting or complex The type of movie which manages it to make you feel good, but at the same time, it is so annoying...

Normally I don't like German movies. They are mostly just a bad copy of American adaptations with worse dialogues, mumbling actors and script changes that don't fit.

But after the unexpectedly great movie "Das perfekte Geheimnis" I also wanted to give this movie a chance. Also, because I like to see Karoline Herfurth. And what can I say? I love it!

Great characters, wonderful entertaining and realistic story without a lot of frills.

Recommendable.
