While the movie is quite decent for a German comedy, it is also quite shallow and it relies often on blunt humour and obscenity for laughter. Well, decent for a light comedy but not as deep as some pretend it to be. Do not expect to much and enjoy what it is. PS: I watched the German version.

A German comedy classic, and deservedly so. It's a bit over the top at times but also has a lot of hilarious scenes and a heartfelt story at the centre. Strong performances, especially from the leads.

I was surprised that this film was from 2013. Maybe different countries just operate on a different timeline in terms of genre trends, but this felt more like a 90s or early 2000s comedy to me. Just generally more slapstick-y and juvenile. The overall setup feels very _School of Rock_, but unfortunately it can't live up to Jack Black's classic. The plot is a bit too over the top for my taste, and the main character arcs are all pretty cliché. On the bright side, the pace is snappy and I enjoyed Elyas M'Barek's performance. With the understanding that comedy is particularly susceptible to getting lost in translation, I was pleasantly surprised.

I liked the idea of a gangstar Mary Poppins!
