diogo-sesimbra The movie tries to be funny but i think it went overboard on the silliness that in general lacked originality. The plot is obvious from the start and the female dorky character could be cute in real life but at this point we've seen it too many times in cinema. Specially since she is clearly very pretty woman wearing unflattering clothes just for the purpose of seeming dorky. Also the dialogue between the 2 main characters is too immature. Yes I understand people sometimes joke with each other in a relationship, but when this is all we get almost all movie, it makes me wonder what the hell are they seeing in each other. Specially when the female character falls in love for the other main character over a small act of human decency.The soundtrack is, simply, horrible. It seemed chosen by a 15 year old girl. There is also a ultra awkward explanation about types of man with regards to their sex prowess. It seemed totally uncalled for and made me cover my eyes while recoiling in not serious way.The movie has a few bright spots, such as when a little kid gets a dart stuck in his head and says in a funny cold fashion that he doesn't hear a thing, giving us a small taste of dark humor in a movie that doesn't set that tone at all. Another funny part was when the main female character had to use the bathroom but couldn't close the door. One of the few times I actually felt connected to the character through their embarrassment.
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) In general, I don't think too highly of Til Schweiger as an actor and after watching Keinohrhasen, I'd even say that he's certainly a better writer and possibly director as well. That doesn't mean, however, that his acting in "Keinohrhasen" was bad. Ludo is the perfect role for him playing a bon vivant photographer who, as often and intensely as he can, enjoys the pleasures of life: cars, wine and women of course. Until a mishap (crashing boxer Klitschko's marriage proposal) at his job results in him being sentenced to 300 hours of community service. Consequently, he meets kindergarten worker Anna (Nora Tschirner), a woman who he used to bully back when they were children and she certainly enjoys her revenge right now. Of course, not much surprisingly, the relation between the two quickly changes in the completely opposite direction.I think this is a great film to watch with your significant other, or on a all-girls movie night. It's probably generally more suited for female audiences (as mostly with the genre), but any man who refuses to watch it because of that, is clearly missing out as it offers the audience some nice lessons on relationships, love, sex and life of course. Literally every scene has some kind of funny momentum and it's really an excellent screenplay that Schweiger and Anika Decker came up with. It oozes charm and humor and even at not much under 2 hours, which is always a bit critical for comedies, the film never starts to drag. Tschirner creates a truly memorable character and delivers a convincing display of all different kinds of emotions: anger, vindictiveness, joy, love, despair... and if it did not happen already earlier, it was this film that catapulted her into the Champions League of German actresses. In addition to her great performance, Schweiger really used his connections to get almost everybody with a big name in German cinema to have at least a 5-second cameo. Slightly bigger parts are played by Jürgen Vogel (as himself), Armin Rohde and Rick Kavanian, who are all three nothing short of fantastic with the characters they're given and bring some much-appreciated comedic delight.If you enjoyed this film, there's also a sequel featuring most of the main characters from the first you could take a look at and right now there's an animated spin off coming out featuring the rabbit without ears and chicken with two ears, the two characters that gave the films their names. This one is certainly more suitable to children than the two live action films, but with Schweiger and his daughter doing the voice acting certainly not exclusively. In any case, I recommend "Keinohrhasen" a lot. It gave me a pretty good time watching for sure.
Gordon-11 This film is about an attractive journalist who likes one night stands, and a kindergarten teacher who believes in lasting true love.The poster of "Rabbit Without Ears" looks so old that I thought it was an old film from years ago. So, when I watched the film, I was surprised by the contemporary feel that has no relation to the poster. It is a fun romantic comedy, with two drastically different views on love and sex. The ample eye candy keeps viewers entertained, while there are also plenty of emotional subplots to savour. The chemistry between the two leads is amazing, they do seem like a couple in love! The setting of kindergarten is also irresistible, as the children are so cute! It is a pity that the spoiled kid is not developed further, once his role is finished, he is rarely seen again. I enjoyed watching "Rabbit Without Ears", as there are elements for everyone to enjoy.
XanderStorm Yeah, I dreaded it. Even though I am a fan of predictable and cheesy romantic comedies. I find Nora Tschirner quite beautiful and the soundtrack used in the film is simply amazing.How come I absolutely disliked this movie? That is a question easy to answer. 'KeinOhrHasen' is nothing else, but roughly two hours of flat slapstick-jokes, Til Schweigers constant celebration of himself and vaunt and a completely unrealistic and unreasonable 'love'story. Everything in this movie appears constructed and put in place, there is no reasonable development, no witty humor or moral epiphany.It justifies superficial sex and One-Night-Stands, subverts every moral of feelings or love and leaves one with the bitter taste of knowing, that it tries to be a romantic comedy in modern age, but simply ends up being a romantic comedy without any serious romance or comedy. The only real tension the two main characters ever experience, is when she tells him she is shaved - everywhere. Personally, I want a romantic comedy to be about two people falling in love, fighting for their love and ending happily ever after. Not two completely out-of-place characters that feel randy about the other.Just almost two hours of Til Schweiger, standing there in a suit, trying to justify his douchebag-y behavior and superficial relationship to women.
