    An Insipid German Comedy

    The story is about an executive who finds that his wife is cheating on him with a bohemian artist who lives with two roommates, so he contrives to move in with this artist to find out why-and to slowly make him like himself. The artist kicks out his other male roommate, and the female roommate tries to hit up on the executive. This could have become an intense and exciting drama, but unfortunately it is mostly insipid and harmless, with a ridiculous ending, probably because the director couldn't think of anything better. Perhaps the idea was meant to explore male mentality, judging by the title, but the movie fails in that regard.

    not good dubbed into English

    The version we tried to watch was "Men", dubbed into English. We couldn't stay the course, as the speech was so stilted and unnatural. I suspect that the German language version is much better, but we may not be able to find one here in northern New Mexico.

    Men will be men

    Look past the heavy 80s setting (especially the hairdos) and enjoy this quite funny romp, that takes you on a ride, with insecure men who try to impress a woman (the same one), while having a weird chemistry between them. Now that may sound strange, but bunking up with your wifes lover is not something I would consider a normal thing.

    This is a german comedy and I am sort of surprised this never got an US remake. It probably wasn't succesful enough, but it does have something to it, that works universally speaking. With a few tweaks here and there you could do something with it. Modernize it and all that - although leave a few things behind, like social media which would make a few things unbelievable that happen in here. Other than that, this is silly and decent fun and a look inside the psyche of some men

    Wonderful Movie

    I watched this for my German film class. It was very funny. It also showed the level of immaturity men have, compared to women in certain situations. Julius was fanatical with the idea of getting his wife back from the "other man".

    Very funny!!

    I had to see this movie for my German Film/Media class. I enjoyed watching it. I certainly laughed a lot. When it comes down to it, this movie is about what men think about women. As Julius and Stefan become friends, they constantly talk and complain about women. But neither of them can stay away from them. This only means one thing. No matter what men say about women, they just can't stay away from them.

    My favorite character in this movie is Julius, the husband that comes up with a really fantastic plan to get his wife back from the unemployed artist, Stefan, a man his wife is having an affair with. He is determined to find out what his wife sees in this man. As he develops a close friendship with Stefan, Julius manages to turn him into an image of Julius himself. An image his wife does not find very attractive. I think this plan is very unusual, but very good and very funny. It's what makes this movie very interesting.

    Definitely worth watching. Very funny. Very interesting. I highly recommend it!!
