Nightlife

I seriously question every life choice that led me to watch this garbage pile disguised as a "Comedy crime movie".

To call this movie bad would be an understatement. We have it all here: cliché romance, horrible dialog, nonsensical story, weak actors, terrible jokes and atrocious direction.

If you wonder how a script this bad is green-lighted by any Film Studio, don't ask me, I wonder the same.

But what is most baffling about all this is, that even a movie this awful has apparently a target audience that likes it. Just scroll through the reviews if you don't believe me. I must have either slept through the "good" parts or there's some hidden symbolism that was totally lost on me (spoiler: there isn't). Otherwise I can't understand how any sane person could give this movie a 7/10 or higher.

If I hadn't lost faith in humanity already, I definitely would now.

After spending an entire day at a 5,000-year-old archaeological site, I found myself tired and worn out in my hotel room. I decided to order Jiao Laga Ji chicken for delivery, settled in, and turned on a movie. It was the perfect way to unwind! Elyas M'Barek as Milo and Palina Rojinski as Sunny provided exactly the entertainment I needed in this German comedy directed by Simon Verhoeven, who also played one of the bachelors in the film.

While falling in love has always been easy, building a stable relationship from that love can be quite challenging. Our protagonist, Milo, starts off strong until his friend Renzo (Frederick Lau) makes an appearance.

The film is light, fast-paced, and genuinely funny for me!

I watched the film today with my whole family and we all found it hilarious. The story is mediocre but the dialogs are the best we've seen for a long time. It may took you 15-30 minutes to get into the film but then, there was not a single minute we didn't enjoyed the funny and intelligent (i mean obviously stupid :-) ) conversations and situations. If you like this kind humorous puns, you will love this movie. I liked this film so much, i had to register to give it a bit fairer rating even so i didn't like german films in general.

Title says it all, it's nothing special, but a fast-paced, witty and colourful crime comedy, with a nice romance thrown in for good measure (which doesn't get too much screen time, just the right amount). The first few minutes (and opening credits) are slower paced to introduce the three main characters, but once the pieces are on board, the story picks up speed and, while sometimes going pretty much over-the-board, never diverges into pure fantasy - as crazy as some situations may be, the protagonists stay believable, and so we're able to stay with them. Well done!

Tonally this is a bit all over the place. But the actors do make up for it. Maybe if you're not into Elyas (for whatever reasons), you may see that differently. If you are a fan you are already sold. In the unlikely case you are "objective" about him (at the present time that is), I am sure he will be able to sway you with his charisma and a decently written character.

It's nothing too big or surprising you'll find here. But there are nice touches and as said before the actors who really are able to turn things around. While the female lead may seem to only have a smaller part in all - she has some interesting things to do - nothing major, but at least she gets a few character traits. A nice movie overall, with a funny ending ... I reckon some saw it coming.
