7 Zwerge - Der Wald ist nicht genug

I watched this film with friends and we all enjoyed it. I am wondering if the negative comments have at all to do with an English translation version - I have only seen it in German. I would suppose that the people who hate this film would also not understand or enjoy vaudeville or other, absurd comedy like Laurel & Hardy, The Three Stooges, Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin, etc. Monty Python? Doubtful. It seems that contemporary comedy has to be slick and profane and people have simply forgotten how to laugh at people being purposely silly. Although they were a bit political and off-color, I think the Not Ready For Primetime Players (remember them? They were the group generally considered wildly talented who started Saturday Night Live)were all pretty silly - and hilarious. DO NOT ignore this film on the not-at-all-objective reviews given here.

Yes, this movie IS nonsense. I saw it yesterday. But I have to say that I don't know many movies which made me smile like that. I found it much funnier than the first one, although the plot was not very meaningful. There are MANY well-known German celebrities who make a short appearance (Udo Lindenberg, Oliver Pocher, Dirk Bielefeldt, or, having already appeared in the first movie, Christian Tramitz, Atze Schröder, Helge Schneider, and Heinz Hoenig), but I don't think that they overload it, they are just sidekicks to everything that German audience is interested in ;)) All I had wished had been some more scenes for Heinz Hoenig, who is a really great actor ;)

In fact, I really recommend this movie if you just want to have some nice and harmless fun and want to feel better after watching. :)

I agree with most of the other guys. A waste of photons and valuable time.

Nearly no joke is worth the paper is was written on. The only highlight from my pov is Olli Dittrich as Pinocchio. ("Egal, ich muss eh Waldsterben") This reminds of old times with RTL Samstag Nacht. It is hard to describe the performances of the actors, since most of them don't even seem to have a good time during production and just "do their thing". Camera is OK, plot is laughable, I think you would be ashamed even if you discuss this with lots of beers.

Apart from this I yawned all the time, wondered about how a script like this could even be considered for production and waited for the end.

My 9 year old son was pleased, but then he is pleased by so little at this age :-)

Anyway, a 1 point rating here nearly is 1 point too much...

I guess I have still enough brain left to NOT find this movie funny. -Great comedians - but a very poor movie! The "best" performance still did NINA HAGEN

TRIVIA: Did you realize that it the "real world" scenes (in Hamburg) the cars are almost ONLY new BMWs ??

This is a German comedic twist on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in German language. There are a myriad of famous German actors cast as Dwarfs and support characters as well as an awesome portrayal of the evil queen superbly played by Nina Hagen in contrast to her beautiful and talented real-life daughter Cosma Shiva Hagen who plays Snow White. There are opportunities for Cosma to show that she has much of her mother's exceptional talent in singing and theatrics. It is a delightfully lighthearted and enjoyable fable brought to life by exceptional actors. If you like the storyline or Nina Hagen and you speak German you will enjoy this rendition.
