With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among music lovers and romantics, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Fans of Another Cinderella Story or Barbie as The Princess & the Pauper should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1960: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
Several young music enthusiasts find a helpful supporter of their passion—singing and making music—in the endearing, friendly elderly gentleman Mr. Herzlieb, who works as a night watchman at a pawnshop specializing in musical instruments. Using a shortwave transmitter, they are even able to broadcast their pop songs all the way to Brazil, after which the music lovers are offered a gig. A German "Schlager-Film" (a musical comedy with popular songs).
