basically a sequel to "Das Wirtshaus I'm Spessart" based on the popular German fairy tale/legend, which came to the big screen 2 years earlier, this movie stars nearly all of Germany's comedians of that time. At first a mixture of comedy and musical, it is also pretty political and aims mostly for post-war short-comings after the German "Wirtschaftswunder", like pensions still paid to former "Wehrmacht"-Officers, but makes fun also of celebrities of that time like the liaison of Onassis and Maria Callas, just to name one.
The story is about the ghosts of the robbers from "Wirtshaus I'm Spessart" and how they redeem themselves. As a punishment for their crimes they were locked up in the basement of the "Wirtshaus" (pub) to starve to death, accompanied by a curse that they should rot there as long the walls would be standing.
The wall falls when the old pub has to make room for a gas-station and a new motel next to the brand new freeway and the souls of the robbers are freed. Now ghosts they come to the conclusion that they have to do something good, so be released. So they decide to search for the Castle of the Comte, they blackmailed in the first Movie and who resided over the Woods they were thieving in.
They find it to be inherited by the last Comtess, played by Lieselotte Pulver, who has no money at all, because her late father lost all the family fortune.

Jack Nicholson plays an aging rich guy who's dating only girls in their 20s - just like Marin, who takes him out to the Hamptons into her family's Beachhouse. Unexpectedly Marins Mother (Diane Keaton) planned also to spend the weekend there. After getting off on the wrong foot Harry (Nicholson) has an Heartattack ending up in Hospital. While recovering he leaves th Hospital but his Doc (Keanu Reeves) insists that he stays nearby which results in him staying in the beach-house with Erica (Keaton) having to nurse him cause everyone else has to get back to New York. This when the fun really starts.. It's really highly enjoyable to see Keaton and Nicholson act in this romantic comedy. Nicholson is great as always, but Diane Keaton really amazed me not only by her character - I wish more actors would try aging with so much dignity! Though it's as much a romance as a comedy the dialogs is full of wit and with the pair of Nicholson/Keaton as leading actors it makes this movie really stand out.
