    Platform for numerous Ostfriesen-jokes

    Because his Munich night-club is doing extremely badly, Alois (Moosholzer) is send by his creditor, Ossi Jansen (Hackethal), to Ostfriesland (East Frisia) to recruit new talent for his striptease show.

    This is the very thin basis of a very thin plot that mostly serves as a platform for numerous Ostfriesen-jokes, including the inevitable "how many Ostfriesen does it take to screw in a light bulb?". This probably sounds like a thoroughly bad idea for a movie, even more so for a softporn flick. However, the Ostfriesen-jokes - as ancient as they are - gain significantly from being enacted rather than told, and the general atmosphere of all-embracing ridicule thankfully undermines the intrinsic sexism of the genre.

    Not a good movie but watchable as a curiosity.

    Not really a "report" film and not really recommended

    This movie, directed by the incomparable Walter Boos (just try and compare him to someone), is called "Der Ostefriesen-Report" because it is about two nightclub managers and their wives trying to recruit strippers for their Munich strip club in the East Friesen (Ostefresisen) region of Germany. But of course this means absolutely nothing to people like me who have spent little or no time in Germany. Naturally, the comedy here is pretty provincial, but that also makes it kind of exotic, and I generally prefer sex comedies that are 1. exotic, 2.nostalgic, or 3. somehow both at the same time.

    My main gripe with this movie though is that it is not really a "report" film. The German "sex-report" movies are usually a kind of portmanteau series of sexy stories that often tend to swing wildly in tone between very silly, overly melodramatic, or even downright disturbing. This movie, however, is a single narrative that is never anything but very silly, which unfortunately renders it pretty boring after awhile.

    There is certainly no shortage of (softcore) sex in this movie, but the women are not up to the usual standard in terms of attractiveness. Other Walter Boos movies I've seen are more portmanteau-style with radical shifts in tone (so they're much more entertaining), and/or feature unusually attractive actresses like Christina Lindberg or Ingrid Steeger (so they're much more sexy). Then there's Boo's "Magdalena-Possessed by Satan" where the main female character is, uh, possessed by Satan. This movie, however, is not very entertaining, not particularly sexy, nor does it even have the dubious trash appeal of a cheap European "Exorcist" rip-off like "Magdalena".

    A likable movie, the genre taken into account, you can laugh!

    A likable movie. The Ostfrisian scenery is nice, you would like to go there and see for yourself. In the genre it's quite a nice one, I think. The jokes about the Ostfrisians are that bad that you can only see it as a joke in itself. People who make such jokes look into a mirror when they see this movie. The scenes with the wedding meal, the firemen etc. are well-acted. The genre taken into account: worth watching. Josef Moosholzer is quite funny.You can see him in several movies of this kind, also in: Hurrah, die Schwedinnen sind da! There is also a second movie about the Ostfrisians: Die Rache der Ostfriesen. A little better still! The movie has been shot in the actual surroundings of Aurich and Norden in East Frisia, and in the village of Nessmersiel I think.
