Translating well(?)
6 March 2016
Some things are not translating well and I'm not sure how this will play with audiences who're not familiar with the German/Austrian language. It can be a lot of fun, if you get into the mood. It's slapstick, but it's also a lot of wordplay. I don't think it gets too silly, but it's not like it's high class humor.

The acting is spot on, especially because everything is played straight, the characters are not comical or sketchy in a one dimensional way. They have character and they have issues. And all that put together produce situations that become great comedy. Watching it with company elevates the whole thing of course, and you shouldn't have an aversion towards horror movies (on the contrary you should have an open mind towards them)
