Likable and fast-moving feel-good tragicomedy which sometimes veers closely toward those annoyingly busy and loud German comedies with their succession of silly and overcooked set-pieces, based on all too well-known clichés.
The predictable plot surely breaks no new ground and strains credulity from time to time, but at least it's all in good spirit. The actors find the right balance between comedy stereotyping and character drama and the soundtrack and location work are especially fine.
Just like all of Akin's "lighter" pics, this one's easy to digest but doesn't call for a second course.
