Das schönste Mädchen der Welt

Some movies can be cheesy, the story can have flaws and even have two-dimensional characters and get away with all the mistakes. Sorry for you if you don't speak german, this gem can't be dubbed, it's a celebration of the beauty of words. If you're searching for 100 minutes of fun and a dose of pure joy and happiness, watch this movie. But don't forget the tissue box!

A giant surprise! I never would've thought this would work for me this much, but it totally does. Sure, there are a few flaws and it is too simplistic at times, but all in all it is so adorable and hits the right notes.

Also, all of the performances are pretty great at most of the time, and the pacing is just right. It also is fairly surprising at moments and absolutely well written and hilarious, even heartbreaking as well. If you like coming-of-age flicks, I think this is for you.

This movie even got me a bit teary-eyed, I'll admit it. One of the best German films of recent memory, which isn't hard I know, but please do give it a shot. It's kinda lovely.

Good story as it was with cyro de bergerac and steve martins Roxanne, same principle only German.

This is really well made and told. The actors in it are really good - the music and the rap is ... tight as many would call it. That being said and while the movie is really good (not just for German standards), it does have quite a few flaws.

One of those is the cliche and predictability factor in this. We are so much more savvy than the characters that it sometimes almost hurts. But then again, we ened them to not see the things right in front of them. Masks on or off ... there is always a shield up to "protect" them and their feelings. And they have their reasons. But the essence and the message is a really good one - even if the "bad guy" in this almost goes way over the top towards the end - when it does not make much sense. Maybe it was the alcohol ... anyway, this is good entertainment and it tells you to be who you are ... although if you can rap and spit rhymes like the main character the question remains how you wouldn't have more courage in general ... looks are not everything, even if the movie may not be entirely clear on that message.

OK first of all i had no idea who and what Cyrano de Bergerac is so i had no expectations at all. And i am totally in love with this movie! Just take it as what it is, a heartwarming love story - perfect for when youre just in a mood for that kind of thing ♥
