Uomini

Maybe I'll start to appreciate comedy movies after all! This German-made production actually makes a bit of common sense! The movie tells it all, involving two buddies who talk, fuss, and complain about the natural feminist state. It is not a romance like many of the U.S. comedies, but a dramatic and humorous account of the sexual revolution. The proven point is simple: nothing in the world can keep men from being addicted to the opposite sex! I'll admit that it also has one of the silliest, catchiest endings I have ever seen, not to mention the actual crew members showing up on the elevators in the final credits. To add greater sense to the movie is the fact that it was directed by a woman. Sounds like the battle of the sexes all over again! Highly recommended!

A man's wife leaves him to take up with an artist, so the man responds by becoming the artist's roommate.

First of all, the plot here is brilliant. Maybe it is not original, maybe it's been done before. I don't know. But the concept is clever enough to get some great situations. And the humor, which is evident in the script, is somewhat amplified in the American release by the weird dubbing. This is far from the worst dubbing I have ever heard, but it does have them saying things I find hard to believe were in the original.

Unfortunately, at the time of this writing (January 2017), it seems that the best way to see the film is on a DVD that is very obviously a VHS transfer. The picture is bad. Really, really bad. In the age of 2K and 4K scans, hopefully someone comes along and gets a better release out there.

I watched this for my German film class. It was very funny. It also showed the level of immaturity men have, compared to women in certain situations. Julius was fanatical with the idea of getting his wife back from the "other man".

Look past the heavy 80s setting (especially the hairdos) and enjoy this quite funny romp, that takes you on a ride, with insecure men who try to impress a woman (the same one), while having a weird chemistry between them. Now that may sound strange, but bunking up with your wifes lover is not something I would consider a normal thing.

This is a german comedy and I am sort of surprised this never got an US remake. It probably wasn't succesful enough, but it does have something to it, that works universally speaking. With a few tweaks here and there you could do something with it. Modernize it and all that - although leave a few things behind, like social media which would make a few things unbelievable that happen in here. Other than that, this is silly and decent fun and a look inside the psyche of some men

The story is about an executive who finds that his wife is cheating on him with a bohemian artist who lives with two roommates, so he contrives to move in with this artist to find out why-and to slowly make him like himself. The artist kicks out his other male roommate, and the female roommate tries to hit up on the executive. This could have become an intense and exciting drama, but unfortunately it is mostly insipid and harmless, with a ridiculous ending, probably because the director couldn't think of anything better. Perhaps the idea was meant to explore male mentality, judging by the title, but the movie fails in that regard.
