Autoroute racer

This film is great for TV, ProSieben in Germany or RTL II, but the big screen - get over it, it's a waste of time and money. The story is way too predictable. Directing, please give us a break. Why is a film like this being so pushed by the press and the distribution company - avoid at all cost, otherwise you may think that all German comedys are stinkers like this piece of cinematic c***. Usually when the producers mother, Miss. Iris Berben, isn't in a film by her son, the moovie is a failure. I think Constantin Film, the German distributer has to watch out, what their portfolio is gonna look like in a couple of years - I mean stuff like this is not going to work on VIDEO and DVD. But it will have great ratings on RTL II.

Summary: I liked it. Beware! Don't watch this movie, if you look for a great "movie-experience". This movie is mindless and poorly executed from an artistic point of view. The plot is just outrageously badly developed. BUT if you have a "need for speed" in real life and are a car-enthusiast, you might at least be able to relate to the joy the cast manages to convey when they speed on German "autobahns" (probably the only thing they manage in this movie). If you don't expect subtle humour and a brilliant storyline, but look at the movie as what it was meant to be in the first-place - a stunt-, action- and car-focused no-brainer - you might be able to really enjoy this one. I sure did. Again: you should really enjoy cars and speeding (and don't fall into the stereotype of "souped-up car"="dick-replacement"), otherwise you'll probably really think of this as one of the worst movies ever.

I personally give it a 7/10 for the good feeling and laughs (partially probably unintended by the filmmakers though).

BTW: How the production company could launch this one, just when there was a major uproar about a so-called "Speeder-Trial" in German media (a young mother and her child were killed) remains a complete mystery to me and really gives me second thoughts about the producer's intellectual capabilities.

Funny,interesting,sprightly,extremely enjoyable,hugely amusing,colorful comedy about Autobahn races.The actors are all young and comely.I am a fan of this flick.I can't say how much I enjoyed this independent and ingenious comedy.Some don't like it;well,it was not made for them,that's all.

The photography is excellent,the colors are delicious.Some fine women (Alexandra Neldel,Henriette Richter-Röhl,Ivonne Schönherr).Beautiful cars,clean and lustrous.

This gag-based movie combines comedy and adventure,it's easy and savor.It has gusto,dynamism,a good pace.The comic is trashy,startling and pleasing.Campy acting,and no fake pretenses.

The humor is unhesitating and unmerciful,but it never gets dirty or insulting.Autobahnraser is made with a trashy frankness,without delusions.

I am ashamed to be German - with this movie, it's official. This wannabe-rip-off "Fast and Furious" movie about fast cars and the German high ways ("Autobahnen") is horrible, awful, disastrous, boring and ridiculous. The characters seem to come directly from TV soap operas, there is absolutely no merely intelligent dialogue and the director seems to be replaced by a computer - the scenes were cut arbitrarily, acting is miserable and the plot is foreseeable and just plain stupid. I'm sure (and sad) that this film will find its audience in Germany (like Fast and Furious found its audience in the US - but Fast and Furious nevertheless had some style): the uneducated "lads" who firmly believe that their car is the artificial extension of their dick. Horrible movie, avoid at all costs.

Those people who say this is a bad movie, are wrong...

I have seen this film 4 times in 5 days, and I will go and see it at least another 4 times!!!

The main difference between A2Racer (alternative title for Autobahnraser) and Fast&Furious is HUMOR!!!!! Not only we get fast and beautiful cars, we get a large amount of jokes and funny situations as well!! That is what I missed from Fast&Furious...

The plot itself is quite simple, but these movies are not about the story, they are about cars. And girls, of course. And you can see a lot of beautiful girls in this movie!!!! Also the action sequences are very well done... I only felt sorry for those cars they have broken... but fortunately the Police Porsche survived!! :-)

Anyway, I think the German did a great job, and this movie will always have a place among my favorites!! :-)
