Nom de code : Hot Dog

It's really a bad movie. Now it tries to be funny with it's sexism and all the other isms it depicts as in "we say something inappropriate but we make jokes, so we are good, right?" ... but hiding behind the mantle of bad jokes does not work. Having said that, if you are of a certain age and have a taste for this kind of humor you may find things hillarious.

Hopefully when those people grow up they will grow out of it. Then again I guess it is alway in the eye of the beholder. But there is a reason why this has such a low rating and I was still sort of kind to it. Watch the trailer (if you can) and if that seems funny do not regard my and everyone elses opinion. But chances are good you will not like this either

I don't understand the low rating. I was laughing from start to finish. Schweiger& Schweighöfer delivered great performances. And as much as I hate saying it, Schweighöfer did a much better job at that than Schweiger. The jokes and lines were great and their chemistry was believable. This is one of those movies I would watch over and over again if I caught it on TV.

The only critique I have is that the resolution around Steiner's family could and should have been better. The resolution to his family's problems wasn't smooth and that made it feel like the story was rushed and therefore distracted me a little from enjoying the movie you. Nonetheless, I thought the movie was great and look forward to watching it again.

Hilarious opening with big scenes, funny jokes all through the story.

Two of Germanys biggest movie stars in one buddy-cop movie... Hm, sounds like gold, doesn't it? Well, here everyone on this picture did everything wrong. Start with an uninspired script which wants to be a comedy but clearly isn't. Hardly anyone laughed in the theater (including me). Audience of roughly 20 people on the opening eve. Til Schweiger plays the bad and tough cop and Matthias Schweighöfer plays the dumb or silly or the cop who doesn't even know why he is in the film the first time. There is just an overkill of product placement grossly placed, like Mercedes, McDonald and many more, which make no sense either. Avoid at all cost.

It was fun and funny. Just go with it. Yes there were some continuity issues and obvious plot directions but so what. Yes the junior partner agitated me but it still worked. I mean, come on, McDonald's in Germany is funny.
