TASTLESS AND MEANINGLESS
24 April 1999
Dieter von Hallervorden has some funny and controlled moments in a parody of those terrible television-doctors, but that is the only thing to smile about. As for the rest: it is an endless flow of bad and tasteless jokes including many human organs and an appalling scene in which a pig is operated on. Though tasteless jokes can have their purpose, they must have meaning (e.g. Monty Python). This film is however just absolutely meaningless; maybe someone had the serious idea making a satire of privatised medical care, but this film is nothing more than exploitation of the theme.
