Zärtliche Chaoten

I got interested of this cheaply-done trash-spectacle just because of Michael Winslow. I expected to hear he making those crazy noises, just like in Police Academy films. Unfortunately there was just a couple of his scenes to make me laugh. The rest of the cast was unknown for me. The script is so bad and stupid that it seems to be put together very fast while drinking German "bier" in local pub. I think this film is supposed to watch while drinking beer, too... Many scenes were very awkward and obvious or tried too much to be funny. The scene where Winslow is trying to clean a hotel room and ends up just demolishing everything in the room... well - it is NOT funny. Just stupid. Overall, you can easily watch this film through if you have nothing else to do, but you will not watch it again.

Crazy chaos and probably not that sweet for most. At least that's what I'm thinking. I mean it starts off with one of the best known - well native Americans in German film history called Winnetou. Now of course that was a timely reference back then and some may not really get it nowadays. But it is nice to see the actual actor reprising his famous role. It's not nearly as nice seeing Gottschalk trying to be Old Shatterhand. Actually it is painful, even if it is meant to be funny.

There are many 80s references and depending on your taste and liking that will flow with you or it won't. From including Michael Winslow (of Police Academy fame) to references to shows and things that were quite "hot" back then (like Miami Vice). The actors obviously had a lot of fun doing this and some of it does translate onto the screen ... not all just some. Of course if you don't mind, you probably will like it more than what I've rated it, but those not even familiar with some of the stuff mentioned here, it may be quite the torture watching this ... (and they did a sequel to this? I guess it was easy just throw anything at the wall and see what sticks ... ah well!)

This is a superb german trash comedy staring Thomas Gottschalk who is the host of the most successful european game show "wetten dass".

While watching this one i really laughed my head of. It is actually that bad, that you have to like it. Go see it you won´t be disappointed :-)
