Porky college: Un duro per amico

I saw this movie on an exchange trip to Germany. Before the movie started, a couple of us Americans were talking to a German girl in the exchange program about the movie. She said she found American Pie to be "cute" and this movie to be disgusting. We figured she just probably had different standards than us (we didn't see how American Pie could be cute), but after we saw this we saw how horribly wrong we were. American Pie was rather cute, in a goofy sort of way, and Knallharte Jungs was revolting. With no apparent storyline, irritating characters, and jokes about things like attempted date rape, a talking penis, and an old lady plunging a diarrhea-filled toilet with a vibrator, I felt violated and abused. I look back on the memory now with tears in my eyes. For shame, Mr. Henman, for shame.

This film is not another stupid american comedy, is something more. New fresh breeze to this kind of movies. Maybe americans wont understand it.. but true, i had good laugh while watching that film.

Wanda (aka. Red Bull) rulez!

This movie doesn't take itself serious at all and should be compared with "Not Another Teen Movie" instead of the American Pie movies.

Being aware of that, it's much better than NATM. In "Knallharte Jungs" everything imaginable goes wrong, which make this film very predictable on one hand, but on the other the whole "everything's going wrong"-thing is presented in a very strong and graphical way, so I enjoyed just viewing the visualization although I could predict what comes next.

The characters are completely out of reality, but nevertheless the actors filled them with a lot of life.

"Knallharte Jungs" surely isn't on the edge of German filmmaking, but it's worth to see if you like movies from this genre.

The hand that will help you ... well actually of course the main character is not talking to his hand - or rather that is not who responds to him. It's been a while since I saw the first movie - but I remember it being way better than the mess I had to endure with this movie right here. No pun intended with all that (summary line or the rest that is).

Talking to your ... penis ... the idea is not really new or bad. But there are so many cringe-worthy scenes here ... you may have issues finishing .. the movie. At least the "sidekick" is getting his own story-line ... although his attitude and his appearance are not helping ... scoring any points! Even more so/true today and with sensibilities we have right now ... the added bonus scene at the end - is really summarizing the movie quite well ... you may be crying as well watching it (once more: no pun intended)

I was going to watch this one with my floor mates the other day. We were perfectly aware that this movie would not bring any intellectual challenges, so we thought we were prepared. With this in mind it is surprising that we didn't even make it through the first 20 minutes. We were shocked how bad this movie turned out to be. The story, the acting, the characters, even the jokes were 1-dimensional and boring. I can only speak for the first 20 minutes,but for what I've seen this movie is not worth watching. If you'd like to see a good German comedy, I'd recommend a movie called "Im Juli". Of course these two movies play in two different leagues.
