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
- Great for anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and food lovers. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Fans of How to Marry a Millionaire or Blazing Saddles should feel right at home. Don't watch it hungry.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Zips along, at 1 hr 43 min.
- What might put you off
- 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.
Leopold, head waiter at the "Weißen Rössl" (White Horse Inn), is secretly in love with the owner of the restaurant, Josepha. But she's only interested in the lawyer Dr. Siedler. Jealous, Leopold comes up with a plan to gain Josepha's attention.
