Adnan Maral, Denis Moschitto, Kida Ramadan

In Hamburg, Ibrahim "Ibo" Secmez, of Turkish descent, wants to direct the first German kung-fu movie. For now, he makes commercials for his uncle's kebab restaurant. Titzie, an aspiring actress and Ib...( read more  read more... )o's German girlfriend, finds she's pregnant. Ibo is uncertain about fatherhood - compounded by his father's disowning him for getting a German girl pregnant - so Titzie sends him packing. He makes attempts at getting it right, but as the birth approaches, he's still not ready. In the background are three thugs in search of good tripe soup and a Capulet-Montegue feud between the kebab joint and a Greek taverna across the street. Can Ibo be the glove upon that hand?

    This must have been hilarious but I'm guessin a lot was lost in translation. Easy to watch, hard to judge.

    Due to the charming main characters this turns out to be an entertaining chaotic comedy. As someone who still knows Nora Tschirner from her time on german MTV it made it even more amusing for me.

    Funny and entertaining. Romcom with so many silly bits that it ends up working mainly due to the charm of the main character. Not a must-see but worth a watch.

    The film opens with some fun and inventive kung fu homages from the start, and gave me high expectations for the rest.

    Too bad this is a German/Turkish co-production, which dictates that there has to be some kind of cross-cultural romance, where the islamic community doesn't ap...( read more)prove, etc. etc. And it ends with a superclichéd birth like you've seen in every Hollywood movie ever.

    The filmmakers obviously had the most fun doing the kung fu bits, so why not build a film around that instead of making yet another done-to-death cross-culture rom-com?

    very nice for a german comedy. its also set in Hamburg and includes skateboarding, kung-fu films, and doener kebabs, and good laughs. but it gets all muddled up in the end. still a solid comedy
