The title can not be aimed at the content nor the viewer: it is either a completely wild comedy nor will the the viewer be beside himself from laughing. The standard format of "let's start a hotel in the summer holiday season" may be slightly better (in the meaning of: clever) executed in this film than in the average German "summer holiday comedy" of the 70's, yet it is as tedious and hardly funny: not one fresh idea. Here we have in the lead two bimbos playing two bimbos, but the male cast is not any better: Schlager-singer Michael Schanze is a poor man's Roy Black (and thàt is very poor) and sly dog Ernst Schultz lets the colours of the film dwindle with his tooth-paste-smile-dentures.

Later in the 70's director Franz Antel, a man with no artistic aspirations what-so-ever, would make a number of so-called soft-sex comedies; in this film there are a couple of shots of girls (when Günther Phillip has his guest appearance) which can be seen as a first try in the genre.

If you look for a capsule of the exact period in time when fun-loving and clean-cut girls had the "choice" of wearing either ultra-short miniskirts or tight hot pants, this is it. The negligible plot of this movie exposes a clique of simple-minded beauties who decide to run a lakeside hotel in a postcard-like part of Austria. With looks and charm and cleverness they succeed in achieving just this. As most of the German B movies of the 70es the imagery contrasts an assortment of trashy looking older people with fashionable younger ones who could easily be enlarged from molded plastic Barbie&Ken-figurines. There is some Schlager style singing of the period to punctuate the plot. And well, some of the actors like Jutta Speidel later turned to more serious work.
