Sex in the Bezirksliga
SMK-425 April 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This late follow-up to the Lass-Jucken-Kumpel series moves the centre of the plot to the miners' football club, a lower division outfit called FC07. Of course, this remains a sex film, and many people associated with the club in one form or another reveal their sex lives: one woman commits adultery with any man she fancies, a young couple find their first love, a middle-aged couple try to spice up the marital bed by following advice from sex education manual, etc. Eventually, the striker of an opposing football team is taken care of during the halftime break.

The quality of the acting is better than average for this kind of movie, and I am inclined to blame most of the hammier moments on the patchy writing. Having said that, writer Moppel Claer successfully manages to capture a contemporary working-class atmosphere throughout. The biggest problems of the film are that the connections between football, miners, and sex appear rather forced.
