Everything you might want in a road movie: an off-the-cuff sense of adventure, a winningly scruffy charm and a whip-smart sense of humor.

Every time the pace starts to flag, it coughs up one hilarious left-field interlude after another.

Sweet little crowd-pleaser.

Who would have thought a German comedy could be light, charming and devoid of intellectual snobbery?

A picture so infectious it almost seems original.

Highly engaging, beautifully played romancer.

An overly pretentious movie about two hicks going nowhere. Not much else needs to be said except that this movie is not as great as plenty of other movies i could name which not only exceed it, but just outright leave it trailing in the dust. Go watch Indiana Jones, don't waste your time here.
