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
- Right up the alley of people who'll be humming afterwards and fans of a well-timed joke. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to Another Cinderella Story or Help!.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 1 hr 27 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1960: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Peter, a young, bankrupt homeowner, wants to sell his house and move in with his aunt Agathe in the countryside. In the meantime, his friend Albert and his niece Inge are supposed to guard the house. When he learns that the three crooks Boxer-Franz, Taschen-August, and Klau-Maxe are already living there, he breaks into his own house, where he encounters the three burglars, who mistake him for a "colleague." The crooks expect him to pretend to be the homeowner and want to keep the proceeds for themselves.
