With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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 fans of a well-timed joke and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 29 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Because of shoplifting and property damage Jessie Fischer, a single mother with a rather big mouth, is sentenced to charitable work in a nursing home. There she meets Walter Voss, known as the General. The fate of the grumpy pensioner, who was disenfranchised by his adult children and deported to the home, touches her and she decides to fight for him. But when the general's expensive pocket watch disappears, Jessie, already convicted of theft, is suspected. But the general stops by and they both embark on an adventurous journey to the sea.
