Nightlife

A nice, little, undemanding comedy from Germany. Above all, the cast of actors is worth watching the film. Sit together with your friends and some beer and this movie is the right one.

I seriously question every life choice that led me to watch this garbage pile disguised as a "Comedy crime movie".

To call this movie bad would be an understatement. We have it all here: cliché romance, horrible dialog, nonsensical story, weak actors, terrible jokes and atrocious direction.

If you wonder how a script this bad is green-lighted by any Film Studio, don't ask me, I wonder the same.

But what is most baffling about all this is, that even a movie this awful has apparently a target audience that likes it. Just scroll through the reviews if you don't believe me. I must have either slept through the "good" parts or there's some hidden symbolism that was totally lost on me (spoiler: there isn't). Otherwise I can't understand how any sane person could give this movie a 7/10 or higher.

If I hadn't lost faith in humanity already, I definitely would now.

After spending an entire day at a 5,000-year-old archaeological site, I found myself tired and worn out in my hotel room. I decided to order Jiao Laga Ji chicken for delivery, settled in, and turned on a movie. It was the perfect way to unwind! Elyas M'Barek as Milo and Palina Rojinski as Sunny provided exactly the entertainment I needed in this German comedy directed by Simon Verhoeven, who also played one of the bachelors in the film.

While falling in love has always been easy, building a stable relationship from that love can be quite challenging. Our protagonist, Milo, starts off strong until his friend Renzo (Frederick Lau) makes an appearance.

The film is light, fast-paced, and genuinely funny for me!

The comedy is so undemanding but also so lacking of any substance.

Another German unnecessary not funny comedy. I am native German speaker (but not German) and such movies are the reasons why everyone says Germans don't have sense of humor.

If it would be a teenage comedy it might be acceptable but otherwise just no.

Tonally this is a bit all over the place. But the actors do make up for it. Maybe if you're not into Elyas (for whatever reasons), you may see that differently. If you are a fan you are already sold. In the unlikely case you are "objective" about him (at the present time that is), I am sure he will be able to sway you with his charisma and a decently written character.

It's nothing too big or surprising you'll find here. But there are nice touches and as said before the actors who really are able to turn things around. While the female lead may seem to only have a smaller part in all - she has some interesting things to do - nothing major, but at least she gets a few character traits. A nice movie overall, with a funny ending ... I reckon some saw it coming.
