'Kleines Arschloch' actually translates to "The Little A**hole" but officially it's translated as "The Little Bastard".

A shabbily animated obscene satire. Brilliant in parts it overall is quite aimless and the ending feels hardly concluding. The film lives through its witty dialogue and through the character of the "little a**hole" and his grandpa.

It exposes people as what they are: Stupid and obscene. Only the "little a**hole", a 10 year old boy who lacks any feelings of shame seems to be more than just an animal. He talks in a sophisticated manner, but not without being the most obscene of them all. You have to consider, though, that the film is told from his perspective and he leads us through it with his everlasting, exposing narration.

The carton movie is not bad, neither is it good.. German culture is pretty tied with many laws and rules and so especially teenagers can enjoy the scandalous, vulgar, rebellious scenes.. Not much more behind that.. It helps to have some experience with life in Germany..

The Film is based on the comic-figure of the same name by German cartoonist Walter Moers. Who has managed to make enemies out of German Neo-Nazis and the Jewish Central Comitte in Germany. At the same time. And as offenses go, Kleines Arschloch has probably been his broadest sweep in all directions so far.

If you can stomach a bit (a huge bit), then you will probably like this film, it is funny and intelligent, if also visvious and sinister at times.

However, the following groups will take offense to material in this film:

Christians, Muslims, Truckers, Bikers, Senior Citizens, children, adolescents, Policemen, Animal lovers, Anti Drug campaigners, Pro-Drug campaigners, people with any sense of shame and dignity, people opposing violence, Neo Nazis, Royalists, Men, Medical Practitioners, Hospital Staff, Women, Clergy, Radio announcers, Teachers, Parents and Musicians.

But really, the film is fun!

I am not a person who believes in "family, love, morality". I make jokes about just about everything, always knowing how these are meant. This film however somehow made me think a little bit too much.

Sure, there are some REALLY good jokes in this film (I only saw the original German version and don't know anything about the translation). Most characters are sure to provide many good laughs. My personal favorite was the old man (Grandpa) with his great phrases.

There are on the other hand several "jokes" which go so far that they are no longer funny (IMHO). Sure, old people may become helpless and may have to live in special homes; but suggesting that they are only lumps of meat with snot constantly dripping from there noses is almost a direct insult. This is one example of several.

Generally this movie is worth seeing, a little more respect and good taste would have helped enormously.
