Conclusion: 4/5
A German comedy film. I thought the script was very well written. While watching this I never really got the impression that any of the characters were acting. By the end I felt sympathetic with each one of the characters. Superb acting from the whole cast. I thought that each cut was done just at the right time and never lingered. I never got bored considering it is a very long film. This has so many themes in which are all so sensitively handled. Even though this is classed as a comedy it is also a very sad and touching film. Most importantly this is about a father and daughter relationship.
