    Good entertainment

    Good funny movie I found on Netflix. Perfect to spend a good evening and to forget everyday life problems. Actors and scenario are corrects too. Give it a try, you won't regret it !

    Deucedly Good

    An "evil" teen comedy. The devil's daughter, Lilith was to be as evil as her father but she is charming and in love instead. (Not as charming as Samuel... 😉) The performances of all the actors are convincing as hell! The movie has a perfect plot twist. Loved it!! 😈😈

    Tempted by the Devil's Daughter

    Tired of her life in hell, a teenage demon named "Lilith" (Emma Bading) convinces her father--none other than "Satan" (Samuel Finzi) himself--to allow her to go to Earth to tempt mankind into committing evil deeds. Not quite sure she is up to the task; Satan acquiesces under the condition that she compels an innocent high school girl named "Greta Birnstein" (Janina Faust) to do something evil. Not only that, but he gives her exactly one week to do it. The problem, however, is that in the process of trying to lead Greta astray, she meets a teenage boy named "Samuel" (Ludwig Simon) who intrigues her and, the more time they spend together, the more complicated things become for all concerned. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that, in spite of the film's dark overtones, this movie was quite suitable for general audiences. Admittedly, there were some scenes which weren't as humorous as they could have been, but even so, I enjoyed this film for the most part, and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.

    More than a teen comedy. It is simple entertainment.

    This movie touched me a lot. One of the characters is supposed to be evil and the other meek and submissive. What happens now that many of us were like that, raised by our parents to be positive, helpful and kind, while in school hierarchy that doesn't earn you any respect, power or popularity.

    I wish I have seen this movie when I was a teen, so I would understand better the dynamics and act badder, so I wouldn't regret being so optimistic. In this movie the evil girl is supposed to ruin the nice one, but she ends up helping her to find her self esteem.

    Utterly charming funny and brilliant.

    The jokes and acting are superb.

    I really enjoyed it - first film that stopped me reading my phone and pay attention since lockdown.
