Trivia

If Hape Kerkeling actually had been cast as Dicki Hoppenstedt in Loriot: Loriot 6 (1978) (his application to Vicco von Bülow is mentioned in the film), he would have played alongside Rudolf Kowalski, the actor who plays his grandfather in this film.

Goofs

The scene where Hans Peter is watching Television is set in the early 1970s. The Disco-episode he is watching is from the 27.11.1978, as Ilja Richter was announcing Baccara with "The Devil Sent You to Loredo". Hape Kerkeling was already 13 years old back then.

User Reviews

A must see for Germans

We laughed a lot, cried a little and were all amazed by how good the film portrays the emotions of being in a big, a bit weird family in Germany. This film connects with you through strong performances and is just beautifully done.

Now it wont be for everyone and probably will not translate (both in terms of language and culture) but for Germans it is a must see.
