Bullyparade: Der Film

I am a huge fan of Bully's movies and I was very excited when i saw the trailer for this movie.

It's not necessarily a bad movie, there are some laughs in it and it has that classic charm of the TV show, but in a time where you can get high quality comedy on YouTube for the cost of watching an ad or two, I don't feel like it was worth going to the cinema for.

This might work okay as a regular evening-filling film on TV but I was disappointed walking out of that cinema. The humour is a bit dated, the plots are questionable and it all feels a bit try-hard.

Bully will have to step up his game and make actual comedy movies if he wants to keep up with today's standards.

Don't know why this movie got such a low rating , it's a typical Bully movie with great jokes and clips ,of course you need to be a fan of those kind of jokes and also need to know a lot of back knowledge to think its funny.

So 20 years after the show initially aired on TV people thought it'd be a good idea to bring all those involved back. And I'm certain there were more than a handful of people who were more than delighted by that fact. But the end product unfortunately left more people dissapointed rather than delighted, which is a shame. Having said that, the movie with its parodies of other very popular (at least in Germany, some even worldwide) movies. There are some very fine and interesting ideas inside most of the "sketches", but that is just it - most of them would work better in a TV show rather than being bits and pieces in a feature length movie. The end credits almost remedy the whole thing - one might find him or herself unable not to laugh at the outtakes presented there.

When i heard about the movie a happiness based on nostalgia got to me. My only hope was: please let this be a project of love to update the original idea of bullyparade. Instead it is a project of financial interest, before nobody cares about the bullyparade anymore. You find all the beloved characters from the TV series in the movie, what you don't find is any creativity or concept to bring them alive. What keeps you going is the enjoyable visual standard and the recognition value that milks your nostalgic sentiment . But if you brush that to the side you have some pretty old jokes, trapped in a skit format that was enjoyable in the 90s and are stretched out to fit into a movie format. Maybe you should have gone jackass style, they didn't even pretend to have a concept and just lined up chapters with no real connection. As harsh as it sounds: i wish i didn't watch the movie. At least i was able to enjoy the innocence of the TV show every now and than on YouTube. Thats spoiled now too. Please Herbig next year is your 50th birthday. How about an original project nothing adapted. "Buddy" but with balls. Please?

This is basically a remake of old sketches from the old TV-Series. There is literally nothing new to see here. All the well-known characters from the show, the gay parody of the Enterprise crew, Winnetouch, Sissy etc. Are here, only held together by a very thin string and no real storyline to speak of. Of course you could say, that something like this does not need an overarching storyline, but what is presented here is simply not enough. Thats really as bare-bones as it gets. I think they really should have made a sequel of the "Traumschiff Surprise" movie instead, this feels like they thought the fans would eat up everything they throw at them. Really a waste of time, and just watching a movie because of nostalgia is not enough.
