hyped garbage
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
This frothy, light, slightly shapeless but endearing comedy is further proof of the protean nature of Akin's amazing talents. While nowhere near as good a film as his great, dark comedy-drama 'Head On' or his complex. philosophical 'The Edge of Heaven', I appreciate that Akin seems more interested in exploring different genres and stories than creating a signature style. This is the kind of comedy that makes you smile more than laugh, and is stronger on character and acting than on comic set pieces, but even the jokes that don't work aren't annoying.A shaggy, likable young Greek man living in Germany tries to start his own restaurant, juggling his ex-con brother, his out-of town girlfriend, his slightly insane chef, and a rival who wants to take over his space. It's not an 'important' film, but it captures something wonderful about being young and trying to find your place in the world.
vote for the insistence the leading actor, and he simplified the life with never look back and straight forward. First glance of the restaurant smell the heavy metal. The music is the highlight of the movie. It will be better if melt the Blue, folk and supportive to the cook. Then the polishing of the cook and Music will be multi-taste. Count of Monte Cristo is also an attractive part, for his trouble maker responsibility. I like cook, but not good at. What is the soul of my cook? Not professional but full of image. what is the soul of my life, we'll see. I like cook, but not good. Keep my passion to be a good chief of my life :)
Great movie, fast and fresh, the kind of fun the movies are supposed to be.The characters are real and dynamic, the sites are beautiful, interiors and exteriors, although in industrial area, they feel warm and cozy after some time.The action never loses pace.I am trying to find now other movies from the same director and/or lead actor.It is refreshing in a way Guy Ritchie is, you wait for the next movie because you expect the same feeling.
You could be excused, if by hearing the title, you'd thought this is yet another "urban" comedy, starring Martin Lawrence or Ice Cube or Queen Latifah. It ain't so. While the title might be misleading (in quite a few ways), the characters in this aren't. You have finely structured people (with a cliché here and there), who seem to have their everyday problems and find a way to live with them.Our main character has quite a few struggles to go through this movie, some of them come "back" at him (no pun intended). And while quite a few things are more than cliché (the brother and what he does towards the end, is borderline believable, even with the setup through the movie), it has quite a few nice touches to it. All in all, a warm comedy, that goes more for the heart than the brain. A nice change of pace by Faith Akin and a movie, whose flaws shouldn't hinder you enjoying it.
