Wer küßt schon einen Leguan?

Frederick Lau, playing the leading part of the boy-child in this great German movie, was the last good and special actor what Germany can present.

Maybe he was the last of the good ones, but one of the best. I'm sure. The movie was brilliant and Frederick did his best in acting, and I hope to get an autographed photo of Frederick in the next time.

This would make me very glad and proud. And this is maybe the last wish I have to Germany. Thank you Frederick for your work.

His statement to his movie he gave, was as great as the boy is. This movie is in Germany number 1, but nobody can buy this movie in a shop.

I hope, this will change sometime.

"Wer küsst schon einen Leguan" is a down-to-Earth and true-to-life story about a kid growing up in an urban ghetto in Eastern Germany. It recounts the misery of a kid growing up with his single mother, who has enough trouble handling her life, and her dominant macho boyfriend. Badly mistreated in school because of his poor background, the kid hopes to get some respect by making his classmates believe that a neighbour, successful writer, is his father. The writer and the boy start making friends.

The storyboard is capturing, a little to romantizising at times. A simple, worthwhile and very heart-warming movie. 7/10
