This is a wonderful movie... the plights of those 3 siblings are very believable, while at the same time being very funny - not "rolling on the floor" - funny... more "smiling all the way through the movie" kind of funny (although I nearly fell of my couch when Mike starts giving his retarded brother some practical instructions on how to get rid of sexual pressure). The story is about Mike, a young guy with girlfriend troubles, his mentally disabled brother Josch, who wants nothing else for his birthday than his first sexual encounter - with Mike's girlfriend! - and their sister Nic, who knows all about the genetical and biological background of reproduction and now wants to experience it first hand with the area's biggest bully. The three of them are quite close and try to help each other, but the results are of course hilarious. The ending is a bit daring... just as unconventional as the whole movie (which is a good thing in my books). If you get the chance to see this, by any means check it out!

When I watched this movie, I only felt bored (it is dragging on for far too long), but after it was finished and I was starting to digest it, I started to dislike it more and more. The reason for that is the the blatantly stupid message - stay where life has put you. Don't go out and find your own place and way of life - it will just make you sad and the only place you can be happy is your good old home anyway. That goes especially for you ladies - you only want a career because your stupid husband can't provide. Once he becomes a reliable source of income and security, you will be totally happy to ditch your own life and career and be a nice housewife and mother for his brats. Yuck! Mainly good acting and a good soundtrack, but that still won't take away the bitter aftertaste this movie left in my mouth.

To me, this was one of the most captivating movie experiences I had for years. Even though I just watched it on a TV screen, not at the Cinema, it had me glued to my seat for its entire running time.

This is not a big character drama (go watch a Woody Allen movie if you're looking for this) and it's not a documentary on professional fishing either. It is not an intellectual treat. It's one of those movies you have to open up to and just let yourself be taken away instead of analyzing every detail while you're watching. If you allow yourself to be pulled into it, you'll have 2 intense and exciting hours, and the power of the waves thrashing the "Andrea Gail" around will make you feel real scared and nauseous.

I'm truly sorry for the people who are not able to enjoy a movie like that anymore because they are too busy watching out for little details they can nag and criticize about later. They're missing out big time.

I, for one, loved this movie. After it was over, I switched of my TV, took a real deep breath and slowly crawled back into reality.
