Reviews

OK the only reason I write this review is because of the Rating here on this site. Normally I find the ratings on IMDb very reliable. Most of the time it is a good tool to differentiate good movies from crappy ones and the ratings correlate with my own taste in general. So i tend so sometimes watch movies which got a good rating on IMDb although they wouldn't appeal to me otherwise. And very often I had a pleasant surprise and found really good flicks that I wouldn't even have noticed otherwise. Not in this case. At the time I'm writing this the movie has a rating of 8.1 which is already very very good if you consider that classics like Gone with the wind or Good Will Hunting are rated equally high. So I decided to watch it solely because of the good rating and was extremely disappointed to have wasted about 90 minutes on this piece of garbage. It is a mediocre movie at the very best and I wouldn't even go that far. I have no idea how such a flick can get an 8.1. Maybe all the actors and their their entire families gave it a 10. I don't know and I don't care. My only motivation to deal with this movie a little longer than the 90 minutes it lasted is to prevent others from making the same mistake I did. So here is my review that says everything there is to say about this flick: THIS IS NOT A GOOD MOVIE. STORY AND ACTING ARE WAY BELOW AVERAGE. ITS NOT FUNNY OR VERY ENTERTAINING AND THE RATING OF 8.1 IS COMPLETELY UNDESERVED!

This movie is a pretty solid comedy. Nothing more and nothing less. The plot is very transparent and after the first 15 minutes you know pretty well how the story is gonnna unfold and how the movie is going to end. But nevertheless its fun. And after all that is all this flick wants to be. Its just good Entertainment for about 2 Hours. Granted its pretty shallow but if you just wanna be entertaint after a long and stressful day this movie will deliver. The actors are alright and there's a couple of really funny moments in the movie. Since its basically a teeny love story and Im well in my thirties I did not think that I was gonna be touched by the film. I was very surprised that even I had moments where I really felt with the characters and got dragged in by the story. Since its basically the old Cinderelly Story in a modern form (young girl finds her prince (in this case a musician), they fall in love and have to fight for her love (in this case against the management)), the movie probably aims mainly at girls from 10 to 16. But since its a pretty well crafted comedy I think that even people like me, who are way outside the target group, will enjoy this. Its definitely one of the better comedies from Germany.
