action
Gosbert Klee and his best friend Abo are two absolute losers. They live on a shabby campsite and lose the last thing they own, their trailer, due to a leaky gas pipe. You can't sink any deeper. You are homeless. Then the prostitute friend Carlotta Valdez asks the two for their help. A suitor died of a stroke during the act. She now wants to get rid of the corpse. They discover a key card to a hotel room in the dead man's wallet and a BMW in the hotel's underground car park with the kidnapped multimillionaire Lorenz Kellermann in the trunk and the ransom that went with it. This is a good opportunity.
Gosbert, Abo and Carlotta now decide to complete the kidnapping themselves. In the meantime, however, the accomplices of the dead kidnapper are looking for the BMW and the valuable cargo. Meanwhile, the anxious Abo, the hot-blooded Carlotta and the inexperienced Gosbert von Kellermann can be persuaded to free him from the predicament so that he can manage the kidnapping himself. He persuades Gosbert to contact his brother Hagen Kellermann. But he is not interested in Lorenz's return. Rather, Gosbert offers five million to kill Lorenz.
Reviews
“The comedy, which is located at the lowest level, cares little about the characters of its characters, but instead delights in macabre jokes, sexist nonsense and excessive brutality. Staged without ideas, the actors who bravely fight stupid dialogues are remembered. "
"This is the turbulent story of two underdogs and unlucky ones who lose everything they don't have anyway - and then comes a 'favorable opportunity' that will develop differently than expected!"
“A film that is just annoying from the very first minute: gags with minus IQ values, stupid dialogues - flat slapstick across the board. Unfortunately, even the otherwise good actors can't save anything. Dreadful!"
“This nonsense comedy could easily have turned into slapstick. But a precisely constructed script and a clever direction ensure that the turbulence does not overturn and the absurdities persist until the end. The gags are not presented in a striking way, but as if on the side. A cornucopia of beautiful ideas is poured out over the audience, without the multitude of murders and other atrocities, ironically broken, reducing the pleasure. The mafiosi, speaking wonderful "bandrician", seem downright sympathetic in their provincial awkwardness. The successful cast of the roles is outstanding. Benno Fürmann, Armin Rohde and Herbert Knaup form a wonderfully interplaying trio in their contradictions. The care of the cast is evident in the supporting roles. Thanks to her acting achievements, something as difficult as a new German comedy succeeds, which is imaginative and at the same time extremely entertaining. "
