Review of Crocodile Alert

"Zwei zum Fressen gern" is a German television movie from 2006, so this one is already over a decade old and it runs for the usual 90 minutes, slightly over. The director is Simon X. Rost and the script is by Derek Meister whose work on the recent "Helden" may have been so bad that it actually ended his career. But this one here really isn't much better. Surprised to see Tramitz play a lead character in a film like this to be honest. He is much better than that. Doreen Jacobi proves that she is the exact opposite of lead material. Jennifer Ulrich is barely in this film and should not be second-billed. Dirk Bach's attempt to get in comedy are a failure most of all, but more due to the material and not for him sucking. May he rest in peace. The film itself is as bland as it gets. It is never funny although it really wants to be, it is never scary and that's not a surprise as they never wanted to focus on the horror genre despite this being about a bif dangerous man-eating crocodile. So they basically surrendered by default already. I could not care less for the action moments, but you could say that if anything this is an action comedy, a pretty stupid one though admittedly. There is never tension or suspense and the human antagonists are just as forgettable as the animals. The title sure sounds different than what you get here, but actually it is as bad as the film itself. No comment on the romance part ugh... If you wanna see a really funny creature comedy from Germany, go for the not too old film about shark alarm at Lake Müggelsee, which is way smarter, way more entertaining and also way more intelligent than this one we have here. It drags a lot and there is nothing meaningful or memorable about it. Definitely one to skip and I give it a big thumbs-down. Highly not recommended, even if you love the horror creature comedy genre.
