Krass Klassenfahrt: Der Kinofilm

Cons: super linear characters, bad and predictable character development, boring story line and basic storytelling, very slow paced, forced comedy, mostly bad acting.

Pros: professional production, mostly good dop and decent music as long as the characters in the movie weren't trying to rap or such.

I am certain everybody who is a fan of the web-series will like the movie, but more importantly, you can enjoy it even if you don't know the web-series.

The production value is great, it has a well written story, a great soundtrack, enough funny moments and no pacing issues.

Granted you will not get a revolutionary super deep story with new insights that will change your view on the human condition, but come on, what are your expectations when you go into a light-hearted comedy movie?

That's why I am puzzled when I read all the negative and salty reviews.

If you don't take yourself too serious when you go into the movie, you will have a great time!

This low-budget "movie" is another example where you can see that Youtubers are no actors. Sadly, you can see this fact in almost every scene of this movie. It is a waste of time. You expect a much higher quality when a movie goes cinema and you have to pay for it.

Completely cliche, poorly written, badly acted out and not well directed at all. Everything falls pretty flat. The dialogues, jokes and story all go nowhere. There is really nothing good about this at all.

Fact of the matter is, I have actually seen some of these self-proclaimed actors give the audience a solid performance. Especially Jonas Ems and Kayla Shyx sometimes have moments where they surprise you with their acting and seem believable. Sadly this happens way too little and only for short instances.

I hope to at some point see some of them in a real production that they come up with themselves.

The team around "Krass Klassenfahrt" is taking a big step forward here onto the big cinema screen. This was much better than expected before and it remains exciting to see what comes next.

The Online-series is a little bit silly... But they create a bigger adventure which makes me want to travel again. The fact that the creators of the series got professional help is very noticeable. Despite all the help, the series creators' own handwriting remains noticeable and they didn't allow themselves to be bent too much - so its definitly not a typical german movie. This film is a far from the horrific influencer films of the past in Germany. Many funny scenes and situations bring back very vivid memories of your own old school days.

Respect for this achievement and all the best for Jonas and his friends on his further way.
