Storyline

- TriviaThe final scene after the credits, in which the kangaroo says that it doesn't have to have the final word, is the exact copy of the same ending of the original book. Onthe last page of the book there is only one line, saying that the kangaroo doesn't have to have the last word.
- Crazy creditsAfter the credits the kangaroo is standing at the peephole and is spraying the K on the screen. Also The kangaroo admires the singers of the closing song while Marc-Uwe is complaining that the kangaroo has to have the final word, to which the kangaroo replied (with its final word): "No, I don't".

Featured review
We all know that books are better than their respective filmed version. There is rarely a movie which is more enjoyable than the counterpart book. But from the likes of Marc Uwe-Kling - who even joked about making a movie out of this book in the very book - I definitely expected more.
This movie takes a number of random scenes from the books and somehow plasters them together into a more-or-less, but really rather less, coherent story. There is a more prominent focus on Jörg Dwigs and the nazis who were more of a real threat than in the book and the story tried to have a focus on some AfD-based jokes. But the focus was really not that funny, most such jokes already done thousands of times and the storyline just a mess. Even the actors didn't seem convincing and the best parts of the book were left out.
All in all unfortunately very disappointing and unexpected for such a fantastic book series. What a pity.
