I usually am biased towards men in stories or more likely to understand and get on the side of men. Not always of course, but like with Kramer vs. Kramer to name one, I was fully invested with Dustin Hoffmans character. I think that makes sense for most. In this case, not just because of Lauren Lupkus, I have to admit, I am almost entirely on her side, when arguments arise.

Of course, she plays a character so I'm obviously talking about the character she portrays and the same goes for her male co star. Having said that and back to my summary word: that's the German title of the movie. I guess to make it easier to digest and more accessible to audiences. I guess that makes sense. The movie is quite interesting and funny. It does have flaws, but considering the fine line it walks between being (trying to be) sexy and being funny, it really works quite well. Add to that a drama element and it is quite the hill this has to arise ... I mean climb over. Not perfect by any sense, but with the right actors to yank it ... I mean pull it off! Stay throughout the credits for some outtakes (you could tell they had fun, here's the video evidence)
