I thought this film would be one of those tried and true romantic comedy genre sorts. And the major underlying theme in the film was indeed romance and comedy but it didn't feel rehashed or trite.
Certainly the story isn't very deep but 95% of the films out there aren't deep, we watch them to escape into a story. Barfuss weaves a sweet story that has laugh out loud bits mixed in with some really touching moments.
I would most compare this film with Rainman, definitely not as good as Rainman but the story is similar.
Anyway, if you're looking for a date film, or just in the mood for a good laugh give this German gem a go. Regards, Nikki
