SUMMER HOLIDAY WITH 2 BIMBOS
22 August 1999
The title can not be aimed at the content nor the viewer: it is either a completely wild comedy nor will the the viewer be beside himself from laughing. The standard format of "let's start a hotel in the summer holiday season" may be slightly better (in the meaning of: clever) executed in this film than in the average German "summer holiday comedy" of the 70's, yet it is as tedious and hardly funny: not one fresh idea. Here we have in the lead two bimbos playing two bimbos, but the male cast is not any better: Schlager-singer Michael Schanze is a poor man's Roy Black (and thàt is very poor) and sly dog Ernst Schultz lets the colours of the film dwindle with his tooth-paste-smile-dentures.

Later in the 70's director Franz Antel, a man with no artistic aspirations what-so-ever, would make a number of so-called soft-sex comedies; in this film there are a couple of shots of girls (when Günther Phillip has his guest appearance) which can be seen as a first try in the genre.
