action

The successful company boss Dr. Fritz Geyer is worried about his younger brother Benno: He is trying for the third time to do the Abitur, but is lazy and is terrified of exams . For example, Fritz enrolls in another high school in the city under Benno's name and pretends to be his brother, disguised with false glasses, in order to do his Abitur in his place .

Dr. From now on Geyer leads a double life. Since he behaves as a model boy at school and gives lots of correct answers, his classmates can't stand him. Especially the perky Reny Pacher thinks it is terrible. In order to impress her, Fritz begins to think up the craziest pranks. The amorous Fritz then fails in the final exams and fails. In the end, it turns out that his brother Benno has secretly graduated from high school himself in the meantime.

criticism

• Film-Dienst : “The double life of an industrialist who tries to do the Abitur for his younger brother. Gaudy, undemanding entertainment. "

• Gong : "Turbulent film fun game , the basic idea of ​​which is clearly modeled on the successful novel Die Feuerzangenbowle, which has been filmed several times ."

• Evangelical film observer : "By no means a« Feuerzangenbowle », but possible as cheerful school clothes from 14."
