Review of Kein Pardon

Kein Pardon (1993)
7/10
Fame is the name of the game
4 May 2023
No pun intended - I never had seen this before, but it does hit home with quite the power. The beginning of the movie is quite powerful - and while this is tailored to a german audience, I feel that many things are universal. The 10 minutes of fame and all that - that is almost another pun right? But let's leave that aside for now.

Hape Kerkeling a very popular and quite good comedian, knows how to conduct himself - and while there are certain cliches and there are certain things that are quite convenient - you can feel that there is more than a kernal of truth behind the movie and the characters.

But while it starts off strong, it does wear off towards the end. Yes the humor is still good - but apart from the predictable turn, there are many other things that have not aged too well ... still this is more than decent and if you like the humor this delivers, you won't mind a couple of flaws along the way anyway ...
