Get Lucky - Sex verändert Alles

I watched this movie over the course of three sessions, and I had to pause a total of 19 times because I could not bear the copious amount of cringe. Surprisingly, there were a few moments that I found hilarious, and I laughed more often than I initially anticipated. However, the "humor" was mostly caused by ridiculous and cringe-worthy situations.

After the 1:08 h mark, there was quite a shift in tone, and the funny moments ceased to exist. Also, the movie tried to be a bit educational, which felt out of place. The story was average for this kind of movie, and the pacing was awful. The setting reminded me of "Sex Education", except the characters were a lot less relatable.

If you like this genre and can deal with awkwardness in movies, you may enjoy the first two-thirds of the movie, but the last part was a bit of a let down. Overall, it was a more enjoyable experience than I originally anticipated.

A movie does not just have to be "gross" or simply funny to count as teenage sex comedy. It can also contain useful information ... be educational as I already stated in my tag line above. This movie shows us a few teenagers who are horny (surprise surprise), but also have to deal with all the insecurities that come along with having no experience

Strange and funny situations emerge, but while it doesn't hold back (neither on nudity nor on letting the teens be teens), it also is giving a different perspective. Yes girls/women don't just fart unicorn bubbles - they also do number 2s on the toilet. They also bleed (what a big taboo - something that makes especially girls so uncomfortable) every now and then. And while it may be noble of you to want to "guarantee" she climaxes during intercourse ... there is no guarantee

And while I understand that some cynics may not be convinced this can work (as a fellow cynic myself, I totallly get you), I can assure you, that the movie never comes off as preachy. Give this a chance if you are into teenage comedies, it might surprise you ... and you may actually learn something too. Because the weight is not just laid upon one gender ... boys have issues too ... pressure being one of them. If you are not easily offended, this really is a great movie to watch.

It's a teenage comedy, a sort of 2020's German version of American Pie, where a group of teens (correctly mixed in boys, girls, straights and gay's) go on a summer holiday with as foremost goal to get sex, and for some, to loose their virginity in the process. The movie tries to combine typical (I guess) teenage fun with some conspicuous sexual education; the theme of always having to wear condoms is so prominently in the picture that you almost suspect some funding from that side. There's also a free-spirited adult aunt who instructs the boys about sex with the help of a car-load of gigantic props. Funny for a few moments, but here stretched-out way too long.

Apparently the writers considered it appropriate for such a sex-centered comedy to throw in some rather tacky scenes, like the very openings-scene where we see the main character frantically masturbating in a little train-bathroom, or a jerk-off competition on the beach between the boys. Probably that's what kids find hilarious. I personally found the whole thing pretty tiresome, everyone in the movie is constantly cheering and roaring with laughter, with only now and then a little moment of reflection or seriousness. But then again: I'm a dull adult, I definitely am not the person that the makers aimed for.

It shows once again that certain actors don't care about a good script as long as they get paid for the crap they shoot.

This movie is an insult to all movie nerves. This movie makes you go to the basement to laugh. (German saying, when something is totally unfunny) Even the usually wonderful Palina Rojinski was simply overwhelmed by the nonsense she was supposed to play. She left the movie premiere in a hurry.

The movie was finally shown on television (ZDF) for the first time around midnight. Of course, the film was also supported with a lot of money from various German film funds. Embarrassing.
