Knallharte Jungs

This film is not another stupid american comedy, is something more. New fresh breeze to this kind of movies. Maybe americans wont understand it.. but true, i had good laugh while watching that film.

Wanda (aka. Red Bull) rulez!

This sequel to the mildly amusing "American Pie"-rip-off "Harte Jungs" in which the teenage lead talks to his penis is one of the worst things (I dare not call it a movie) I've encountered this year. I don't mind that it's sexist, juvenile or offensive - a lot of teenage sex comedies are like that and as long as it's amusing, I'm OK with that. No, I mind that this is a utterly unfunny insult to anyone's taste, humor and intelligence. When superb actor Axel Milberg is degraded into a drivelling joke, I felt sick. But when a 99-year-old woman starts cleaning a toilet (she previously and very acustically made dirty) with a metallic dildo, I knew that German comedy has reached a new all time low. Do I have to mention that the brown stuff flies into her face afterwards? Well, you get the point. This is not "daring humor", it's just utter crap.

Any redeeming things? No. Rebecca Mosselman is really cute but I felt sorry for her being in that "movie". And Axel Stein delivers his dialogue rather naturally (compared to the other, highly artificially speaking actors) and has most of the 3 or 4 funny scenes in the "movie". Most of them happen during his adventures with the female hockey team. He dressed up as a woman to join them. You might think this is a stupid old joke. Well, it's telling, that in this film, it's the funniest thing that happens...

Bottom line: Avoid this by all means. If a lot of people go and see this, I might have to watch another sequel. I'd not survive that!!

Rating: 1/10

A German teen sex comedy? Who knew. And it's a good one, too. Apparently a sequel to Harte Jungs, we meet Florian who wakes up and finds, uh, his genitals alive and talking. And it demands pretty much one thing and one thing only. What results of course is the kid torn between his crush/love for the pretty girl Maja and his animated lust for any female he runs into. Not of much help is his even hornier buddy, aptly nicknamed Red Bull, who devises the most devious tricks to get it on with girls, things that only help get Florian into trouble. The situations are truly comical and it's just one funny outrageous moment after another. There's a lot of bathroom humor, some of which is perhaps too much. But unlike American movies, not all bodily fluids are used. The movie as a whole has an American feel to it in it's competent direction, but it doesn't lose its original German touch and heart. This is not like American comedies filmed in Europe. The acting is excellent, even the extras in the background are all doing their best. There are a lot of gorgeous women here but not much nudity unfortunately. The movie itself is really a soft R-rated movie despite the X-theme. The German DVD includes deleted scenes which include some more nudity that would have made this movie more of a harder R. There are a lot of extras on the DVD. Despite covering familiar ground this is a very funny and fresh comedy. Don't miss it.

I see this movie as the thing it´s designed to be: a goofy, teenish movie full of jokes about sex, boys dressed as girls, poo and some other things. some people might find that offensive and absolute not funny. I for myself see this movie as a cool film to watch and have a good laugh doin that! the actors are good casted(especially the girls)....rebecca mosselmann looks hot! and axel stein just got the german comedy award for his role as Red Bull/Wanda. in my opinion totally right! to summarize the movie: catch the DVD if you´re looking for a funny movie without a great meaning to it! forget it if you have something against this kind of humour!

I saw this movie on an exchange trip to Germany. Before the movie started, a couple of us Americans were talking to a German girl in the exchange program about the movie. She said she found American Pie to be "cute" and this movie to be disgusting. We figured she just probably had different standards than us (we didn't see how American Pie could be cute), but after we saw this we saw how horribly wrong we were. American Pie was rather cute, in a goofy sort of way, and Knallharte Jungs was revolting. With no apparent storyline, irritating characters, and jokes about things like attempted date rape, a talking penis, and an old lady plunging a diarrhea-filled toilet with a vibrator, I felt violated and abused. I look back on the memory now with tears in my eyes. For shame, Mr. Henman, for shame.
