Originally produced for German TV this charming little comedy was released nationwide instead and turned out to be a surprise hit at the box-office.
Though by no means a classic, it's nevertheless a silly bit of fluff, often foolish, sometimes downright dull but overall entertaining stuff.
All actors show admirable flair, even Miss Riemann underplays admirably. Best of the crop: Moritz Bleibtreu as dull but attractive gay lover of Riemann's brother and Martina Gedeck as the wronged wife, who finally got her revenge.
The great soundtrack features Della Reese's all-time classic rendition of 'It's so nice to have a man around the house'.
