Outside the Box

Which makes sense for a company movie like this. But in this case it's also very predictable in trying to show how society is working. It's a noble effort and it's really nice to see a movie trying to entertain and make a statement, politically and socially. But apart from not telling us anything new, by serving clichés all around, it also loses any edge and suspension.

The actors are decent and they do their best with the things they get handed too. It's not a bad movie, especially with as I stated before the message it carries. But it could've been a lot better if it didn't rely on the usual. The jokes are hit and miss too. Not a must see

There was nothing funny im sorry. Movie starts with killing a real frog and that was not tasty.

This theme has been tackled many times, but this film does the hatchet job on these ridiculous management training events rather well. We all know the sort of thing, and I've had to endure them myself. I still hold a grudge against the idiots who think that being able to climb a rope ladder or fire a paintball gun means you are a good manager. If the busted banks had spent more time checking figures instead of sending their managers on corporate training events like these, then we might all be a bit richer (what am I saying...the bankers are rich anyway, despite their catastrophic failures). Interesting that although the film is in German, all the clichés about management are in English. Altogether an entertaining farce with a message few, other than the frauds who run these sorts of events, would disagree with.
