I watched this twice, two evenings in a row, to get a clear judgment. And yes, I liked it better the second time around.
For a few-frill TV comedy, this film goes ahead quite ambitiously. We have a crook whose mother's urn is stolen from him on burial day. Then again, in her bank safe he finds authentic letters by John F. Kennedy.. to his long-lost aunt. A birth certificate is faked, he peddles his story (illegitimate JFK son) to the Tagesanzeiger newspaper, gets to know single-mother journalist Nina and her cute daughter Emma..
I won't spoil it all. The turbulent storyline goes on to present his real (or is she?) mother, silly CIA agents, fake Ted Kennedy and Arnold Schwarzenegger, his real (or is he?) father, and several couples of things more. All in all, a well-done turbulent drama-comedy. If you find it for €1 at Woolworth, like I did, it's very much worth the price. Even better on second sight.
