Customer Reviews
Really enjoyable gay/straight farse - german with english subtext
Easily one of the best 'gay interest' funny/amusing films I have seen. Watched it several times and still enjoying it. ;o)
Role-reversals overlaid with misinterpretations lead to a really amusing film, the only down side being focusing on the English sub-text to appreciate the dialogue.
The film begins with the straight male cop being dumped and is subjected to a series of faux pas / disasters while getting drunk, which sets the scene for this quick-witted film.
Waking up nude in bed with a gay car mechanic, he wonders 'what happened last night...?' - the mechanic isn't telling!
Reluctantly the straight police inspector (= uk detective) is forced (due to housing shortage) to lodge with the (sloppy) car mechanic, and the mis-understandings heat up!
The later nude shared bath scene is touching.
Now I wish I knew German.
Don't judge the book by its cover
I completely fell in love with this film since the first time I saw it. The characters are so subtle and witty. The actor, Christoph M. Ohrt is so handsome and funny in the film. The music in the film are also very good. I can't wait to have a sountrack CD of this film. The theme piano score is composed by Peter Schmitt and it is incredibly beautiful. It is definitely a feel good movie and I really enjoyed this.
Warm feelings on a cold night
I approached this film with some trepidation as I've more or less given up on duff gaysploitation movies just out to collect the pink pound (vis Slutty Summer, Another Gay Movie etc) but it had been recommended by a friend I trust. I found it heartwarming and well worth the effort. Cute guys made it easy to watch too! Yes, the plot stetches plausabilty but it made a cold night pass pleasurably for me.
