IMDb Staff Picks for December

What to do when the children move out and leave the parental home for good? The trilogy "Parents alone at home" tells humorously about this new phase of life.

Ann-Kathrin Kramer, Harald Krassnitzer, Oliver Mommsen, Anna Schudt, Susanna Simon, and Walter Sittler in Eltern allein zu Haus (2016)

Good enough story, but with some strange and odd behaviour

I wasn&#39;t overly impressed with this movie (I watched it as a movie). Firstly, the marketing did not fit with the story: it was said to be about how a marriage can fall apart when the children have moved out, but in the movie the wife had already began the search for a flat of her own before their daughter had moved out... And then, there were some odd scenes that I did not like. The husband spying on his ex-wife when she was having sex with a new man, for instance. And the fact that the wife and her boy-friend had sex with the blinds up, so that it was possible for every passerby to see... The instance of cruelty to a bird was not a favourite scene of mine either. The vet who used her work to get into contact with men, neither - that is a very unprofessional and unsuitable behaviour. Not to say odd. But most of all I did not like to see Walter Sittler&#39;s naked, aging body. I have admired Mr Sittler, at one time I almost had a crush on him - that was when he played the leading man in &quot;Ein Geschenk des Himmels&quot;. I have liked him a lot as the &quot;Kommissar&quot; as well. But now I feel that he has sunk, and watching him in the older movies will not be the same anymore, either... :-( With this said, &quot;Eltern allein zu Haus&quot; is still a good enough movie, it is quite nice in parts and there ARE things here that you can relate to if you are in that situation yourself (middle-aged, long marriage, newly divorced, children moving out...). And that might be a help.
