Bullyparade: Der Film

"Bullyparade - Der Film" is a journey thru Michael "Bully" Herbigs German Blockbusters. Real Bully fans will love the famous characters of "Der Schuh des Manitu", "Traumschiff Surprise"... and the Bullyparade a very famous comedy show running at Pro 7 channel in Germany from 2007-2012. Although lots of good work jokes make it quiet good entertainment I am missing really good new and creative ideas. So it's a must-see for real Bully fans only.

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.

The outtakes at the end were funnier than the whole movie.

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.

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.
