Unbearable

I happened to tune into a channel showing this film, and although realizing immediately that this was an enormously bad movie, I was curious how bad it was actually going to get. It surpassed my worst expectations! This is an example of "comedy" at its very bottom. The actors (featuring Axel Stein, Rick Kavanian, Eva Habermann among others) are dreadful, the jokes are crude and may only be funny to infants. I am wondering how this movie was able to reach an average rating of 3... Probably the worst movie I have ever seen.

Avoid at all costs! You'd regret it otherwise.

One of the worst

I happened to see this movie as a surprise preview and immediately regretted it: it was a total waste of time and money. This action-"comedy" features a kind of low-level humor that not even the Farrelly brothers can come close to. Story and characters are ridiculous and cliché-ridden to the hilt, so the only way to make it through the film (if you really have to) is following the saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans do": getting properly drunk before.

The movie tries to be too funny and fails.

I just saw this movie at a surprise preview, too. Everyone got a free beer, and this was really necessary to make me stay for the whole movie. The movie had a good start though, but after a while it surely got out of hands. The movie tried to be "more than funny" and thus failed miserably.

The best thing about it was the "stolen" guitar-jingle from the Bill & Ted movies (which I still like very much). But other than that, this "buddy-movie" didn't even come close to the Bill & Ted humor. I wonder how such respected actors like Christoph M. Orth (who plays the "Bond-like" villain in this movie) got involved with this.

I noticed that in several scenes, one take had trees with much snow on them, the next take had totally green trees, then they were snowy again. It seems that the producers didn't really pay much attention to such details.

The end credits featured numerous outtakes, and it looked like all the actor really had a lot of fun during production. Most certainly they had more fun making the movie than the audience will have watching it.

good look

You´re right, its low level teenager humour, relaying on some good american buddy comedys, and it seems as if there wasn´t much money for special effects, but on the other hand it has a very good look and design for a "cheap" german comedy

Trivia
Director/writer Matthias Dinter said that this movie was originally planned to be the third part of the "Bademeister"-TV-movie-series that he and co-writer Martin Ritzenhoff wrote. When it was decided to give the movie a theatrical release, the main characters were changed from lifeguards to ambulance drivers who serve their alternative civilian service.
