Ants in the Pants

Wow. I thought, Eskimo Limon was the most awful and embarrassing first-sex movie ever. But I had forgotten that Germany always tries to compete. In this case, the well-known German film producer Bernd Eichinger was successful in producing even worse crap. Harte Jungs is stupid, not believable and predictable, and above all: not funny. It's almost a tragedy that so many kids went to see this in Germany (and, I'm afraid, also Austria).

Tobias Schenke, 19, looks too nice to have no girlfriend and too ripe to be 15, and his character is too dumb to be true. Schenke tries real hard to make us believe that he doesn't know ANYthing about sex, but that doesn't help. Harte Jungs seems to be made by someone who watched Al Bundy and took him too seriously.

The best actors in the movie are Sissi Perlinger and Stefan Jürgens who play Schenke's semi-liberal parents. Perlinger and Jürgens are stand-up comedians who are not particularly talented in movie acting. Still, their performances are the `best' and `funniest' in comparison.

A complete failure.

A happy-end story that remembers you to your teenager-age in a very charming way, not disgusting, like American Pie tries. When you watch it, you feel you live in that town, those young people are your classmates, your friends, and everything that happens in the film could have happened in your life.

The cast is perfect, the actors and actresses work very well. You will laugh much but you will be sad also.

The locations are also really good choices - those are so European!

This film does its best for entertaining you. Watch it! I am sure you won't be disappointed!

harte Jungs is a good German movie. It is comparable to American Pie, but definitely not as original and not as funny as American Pie. This film is really funny and has some memorable jokes. My favorite scene is the god looking at the boy kinda surprised. That was really funny. There are better German films, but this is one of the best German comedies. I can think of just one german comedy that was better, and that´s Knockin on Heavens Door. And Lola rennt, if you consider it a comedy. All in all, I rated Harte Jungs and recommend it to fans of American Pie.

If that actually is the english title of the movie, I have to admit it is quite funny and maybe even funnier than the german one (Hard Boys - well innuendo and pun intended I am certain of it). Having said that and being reminded that this was Axel Steins debut movie ... this is quite a fun ride ... if you are not too squeamish and do not mind jokes that are considered offensive today.

Even so, when in the beginning our main character is being falsely identified as homosexual, the movie does treat that subject matter quite well all things considering. Yes the jokes are mostly below the waist line (I mean we're talking about a ... talking penis - or is it a Penis whose thoughts we hear? Do not overthink it) ... with some nudity to top it all of - pun intended.

This is not high class but it never pretends to be - it is also clear that the guy (Axel Stein) who pretends to know so much ... knows less than little when it comes to the opposite gender ... so you can be offended by the things he says or just roll with it ...

The name was weird and that was why I downloaded this movie from the internet but when I read reviews about this movie, which were very misleading cause I really liked this movie. The movie explores the world of a boy who has just reached his teen.

The boy who has just hit his puberty is in great confusion cause suddenly his d**k has started to talk to him. He suddenly feels pervert and immense feel to have _ _ _. The movie shows the very fact which a normal teenager must have felt in his that period of life. For the movie was awesome as it has shows a real good and intelligent story. I have just found its second part is made.......gonna watch that too.
