I've seen the first of the dwarf-Movies and sometimes I had little fun watching it. There are many famous TV/Comedyactors appearing in the first part and presented, in fantasy costumes, typical little episodes of their Stand-Up-Program and exactly that is the problem the second movie has to struggle with. Everything was already there....nothing new to obtain. You're familiar with most of the often boring and dumb "jokes" and you always feel like their goal was to put in every Comedylooser of the last decade who wants to get back on stage. There's nothing important about the story: typical fairy-tale story of Rumpelstiltskin, without any importance. I expected something like that but that's nothing I could complain about. I'm actually complaining about the lazy story writers who had an entire background story; their only business was to get many jokes and parodies inside but they didn't get it anyway. This crap is except the great appearance of Helge Schneider a total waste of time and money.(if you don't like him then remove 2 points of my evaluation) If you like to save your money and get bad jokes then watch the crap that's broad casted every Friday evening on SAT1 or RTL for free. I'm sure you will recognize some "laugthers" I saw last night in cinema.

I guess I have still enough brain left to NOT find this movie funny. -Great comedians - but a very poor movie! The "best" performance still did NINA HAGEN

TRIVIA: Did you realize that it the "real world" scenes (in Hamburg) the cars are almost ONLY new BMWs ??

This is a German comedic twist on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in German language. There are a myriad of famous German actors cast as Dwarfs and support characters as well as an awesome portrayal of the evil queen superbly played by Nina Hagen in contrast to her beautiful and talented real-life daughter Cosma Shiva Hagen who plays Snow White. There are opportunities for Cosma to show that she has much of her mother's exceptional talent in singing and theatrics. It is a delightfully lighthearted and enjoyable fable brought to life by exceptional actors. If you like the storyline or Nina Hagen and you speak German you will enjoy this rendition.

I agree with most of the other guys. A waste of photons and valuable time.

Nearly no joke is worth the paper is was written on. The only highlight from my pov is Olli Dittrich as Pinocchio. ("Egal, ich muss eh Waldsterben") This reminds of old times with RTL Samstag Nacht. It is hard to describe the performances of the actors, since most of them don't even seem to have a good time during production and just "do their thing". Camera is OK, plot is laughable, I think you would be ashamed even if you discuss this with lots of beers.

Apart from this I yawned all the time, wondered about how a script like this could even be considered for production and waited for the end.

My 9 year old son was pleased, but then he is pleased by so little at this age :-)

Anyway, a 1 point rating here nearly is 1 point too much...

A really bad sequel. Part 1 had a lot of funny moments - part 2 is just bad (in a boring way) and obviously made to squeeze money out of the fans.

Shame on you, Otto Waalkes!

The only slightly amusing moment in the film is Helge Schneider who apparently seems to be pis*ed about the other characters. It's quite easy to identify with him...

The screenplay is sloppy/non-existent. The director should do everyone a favor and quit his job immediately. The acting is worse than a 2nd grade school play.

Technically the movie is awful as well, but who can blame the cinematographer/sound guys who had to work with such an untalented director?

There are a lot of highly talented filmmakers/actors in Germany now. None of them are associated with this "movie".

Why in the world do producers actually invest money in something like this this? You could have made 10 good films with the budget of this garbage! It's not entertaining to have seven grown men running around as dwarfs, pretending to be funny. What IS funny though is that the film's producer (who happens to be the oldest guy of the bunch) is playing the YOUNGEST dwarf.

The film is filled with moments that scream for captions saying "You're supposed to laugh now!". It's hard to believe that this crap's supposed to be a comedy.

Many people actually stood up and left the cinema 30 minutes into the movie. I should have done the same instead of wasting my time...

Pain!

WARNING! Don't even consider watching this film in any form. It's not even worth downloading from the internet. Every bit of porn has more substance than this wasted piece of celluloid. The so-called filmmakers apparently have absolutely no idea how to make a film. They couldn't tell a good joke to save their lives. It's an insult to any human being. If you're looking for a fun-filled movie - go look somewhere else.

Let's hope this Mr. Unterwaldt (the "Jr." being a good indication for his obvious inexperience and intellectual infancy) dies a slow/painful death and NEVER makes a film again.

In fact, it's even a waste of time to WRITE ANYTHING about this crap, that's why I'll stop right now and rather watch a good film.

Despite what a lot of other people thought about the first movie, I really liked it. This one however. How to sum it up in one word?: This movie is (and here comes the word): CRAP!

But let's look at it part by part: Here is the plot: Finally the old queen has been removed from her castle, but her successor: Snow white has problems of another sort: The Court-Jester, Father of her son, has gone astray, as the super, Spliss, goes to the extreme, to battle his gray hair and sells the royal offspring for some blond and full hair. In her desperation Snow white seeks the help of Bubi (Otto Walkees),who must first find his other six dwarf companions and then try to find the royal offspring or at least try to find the name of Rumpelstiltskin.

The whole plot seems to have been written on a weekend, where the writers were very drunk but were just under pressure from the studio to write the screenplay.

Yes, there are some good jokes. Even for fans of the first part, or for fans of any of the other actors, it's really not worth buying the the DVD. Believe me.

The only thing, that at least kind of saves the movie from complete oblivion, are the performances of some of the actors. That's why I gave the move 3/10. Sadly, the script is so bad that none of the actors or all of them combined can make up for the bad story.

For example, at one point, they even cross over in our reality, and sadly.. they don't do anything funny while being here.

Still, a lot of great actors in this movie: Otto Waalkes, Ralf Schmitz, Martin Schneider, Nina Hagen, Cosma Shiva Hagen, (Especially funny): Rüdiger Hoffmann as the mirror, Helge Schneider and many more but sadly all these comedians aren't able to bring this really bad script to life.

Maybe it is a treat for some hardcore fans but for regular movie goers or by now DVD Renters or buyers it's not worth the money.

I even regret renting the movie.

Yes, this movie IS nonsense. I saw it yesterday. But I have to say that I don't know many movies which made me smile like that. I found it much funnier than the first one, although the plot was not very meaningful. There are MANY well-known German celebrities who make a short appearance (Udo Lindenberg, Oliver Pocher, Dirk Bielefeldt, or, having already appeared in the first movie, Christian Tramitz, Atze Schröder, Helge Schneider, and Heinz Hoenig), but I don't think that they overload it, they are just sidekicks to everything that German audience is interested in ;)) All I had wished had been some more scenes for Heinz Hoenig, who is a really great actor ;)

In fact, I really recommend this movie if you just want to have some nice and harmless fun and want to feel better after watching. :)

I watched this film with friends and we all enjoyed it. I am wondering if the negative comments have at all to do with an English translation version - I have only seen it in German. I would suppose that the people who hate this film would also not understand or enjoy vaudeville or other, absurd comedy like Laurel & Hardy, The Three Stooges, Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin, etc. Monty Python? Doubtful. It seems that contemporary comedy has to be slick and profane and people have simply forgotten how to laugh at people being purposely silly. Although they were a bit political and off-color, I think the Not Ready For Primetime Players (remember them? They were the group generally considered wildly talented who started Saturday Night Live)were all pretty silly - and hilarious. DO NOT ignore this film on the not-at-all-objective reviews given here.

So I do like the part 2 of "7 dwarfs/Zwerge" better than part 1 cos it is more "silly" and without any sense.

We also do need these kind of movies. Why not!? It's hot.

Nina Hagen as the bad witch seems like she took some acting-lessons from "Katharina Thalbach" ("Die Blechtrommel"). I studied Theatres, Movies, Cinemas, Plays, Discotheques and Partys for ages in Berlin, so I know what I'm talking about.

Cosma Shiva Hagen plays like an Brainless Barbie. I seen this acting in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, when I was on the set of the "Momo"-Theatre. There was an brainless Barbie, too.

I think, i will watch every part of this Nonsense but mainly because of Nina Hagen it's always funny how she acts or what clothes she wears what face she painted.

Check it out, if your bored, it's Entertaining.

I watched this film again, july 2025, now with my six year old daughter. (Yesterday we watched the first movie, today this one, the second movie from 7 Zwerge.) We laughed a lot, it is a simple, funny movie!

(another review wrote, there were only new BMW cars in the hamburg scene, so I looked a bit closer and I saw many other cars. 🤔) I think you must like this kind of movie to enjoy it. My daughter don't know the comedians and stars (I recognized them all,), but we both loved the two movies. I hope the third one, the animation movie, will also be so funny!

My review is to short, so I will try to write a bit more, even I'm not the best English writer/ speaker.

For me it was nice to recognize the characters and remember then from where I know them.

My daughter like Bubi (Otto waalkes) a lot and the jokes were also funny for her.

So I think the film is for the older people like me, but also for the young generation a very funny, watchable movie .
