Drei Herren

Three idiots escape from an excursion into the 'summer holidays' and experience hair-raising adventures. The mood of this amazing movie is changing from the calmness of a typical summer day to strong humour. But it is just funny when Fischer observes everything with his magnifying glass. Although sometimes too strong it is a nice and silent movie. Unfortunately this film reveals in it's full beauty if one is able to understand the austrian or bavarian dialect but if you do and love austrian-bavarian way of life you will not be disappointed!

In case you are German/Austrian you've got to see this movie. Its just hilarious and at the same time very touching.

I just love the scene when the town people, carrying the coffin, must cross the main street to get to the funeral...

The three main actors do a great job. The main characters never understand that they themselves are the numb nuts everyone in town including the police is searching for - even more than that: they really try to assist the search...for...for themselves ;)

Nobody knows this movie - and its a true shame! I guess it was never really promoted! But I hereby claim: Watch it!

I didn't understand half of this movie, due to the strong dialects of most of the people. But what I got, I loved.

The whole beauty of this film is, how all of it seems to come together seamlessly. The various plot elements just flow together, nearly every gag looks as though it absolutely belongs there. Admittedly, sometimes something gets out of line and there are things that just don't fit in with the rest of the movie, but the way this one just keeps moving until it does reach its destination (or does it?) all just remind you what good writing is all about.

Of course, the story brings Howard Zieff's "The Dream Team" (1989) to mind immediately, and probably that movie was a major inspiration for this one. But the whole point here is, that the titular "Three Gentlemen" do not get stranded in a big city but in a small, isolated village, that they don't strive to recover their lost custodian but don't have any mission at all. They are just stranded and it's the narrow-minded, sometimes uncanny villagers who change their lives as much as they change theirs. And, as almost always with these pictures, we get a clear picture of who should *really* be locked away in an asylum and who not. And there are not-so-hidden statements about wonders and those who either see or ignore them.

Watch it for pure delight.
