No pun intended - and it is meant more of goods rather than people. On the other hand - what would you call tourism? If that is where the movie leads us of course ... on the other hand, I doubt many will be surprised to where the movie leads us. I reckon it is quite obvious.

Also throw in a lot of cliches - but with a movie called Greece ... well what did you really expect? It was kind of obvious what the movie would claim and see as entertaining. It really can be fun - and if you have lived both worlds a lot of mannerisms and a lot of beaurocracy ... well you will feel right at home ... in a way ... still be able to laugh ... a lot of coincidences ... but we wouldn't want it any other way ... a few surprises along the way too. That vacation feeling ... you kind of want to be there ... go there and stay there that is ... no matter the issues ... great cinematography btw.

Nice scenery but vapid story
maximilianhabakuk2 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This film is a frothy comedy, with superficial humor and a boring story.

The really good camera work and the surprisingly good sound for an Austrian film made a positive impression. The beautiful scenery invites you to a vacation in Greece. Wanderlust is therefore quite possible.

Unfortunately, the screenplay in particular is very lame. The whole story is so banal and sometimes shameful, especially when aging hippies seek victims for the gang bang. Except for one scene, the whole story is predictable, so that the viewer gets bored pretty quickly. The leading actor Thomas Stipsitz can't convince at all in terms of acting and the participating greats of the Austrian film can't improve the film either due to the lame story. Only Mona Seefried, who plays a helicopter mother of a 40-year-old mama's boy, stands out positively as an actress. Claudia Kottal can also convince in principle, but she consistently speaks a peculiar Greek dialect. Ever since House of Gucci, it should have been a well-known fact that wrong dialects do not appeal to the public.

At the end of the film, all the actors sang an Austrian music classic (Irgendwann bleib I donn durt) and because of the embarrassment lay it to rest.

I left the Cinema

The Movie starts with a lot of stereotypes. The plot is absolutely expectable. Almost every gag is being anounced in its previous scene. The Music is too loud and too much. As it wants to tell the audience 'look, this is a very funny scene. It has to be. Hear the music'. Like it has been made for a silent movie. But as it is not a silent movie, it sounds misplaced and absolutely too much.

After half an hour I had to leave the cinema, as every second of this movie was a torture. It is like a really really bad TV production from the 90s.... not what you expect to watch in cinema in 2023.

Save your time and bugs for better movies.
