criticism
The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm gave the comedy a medium rating by pointing with the thumb to the side and saying: "The subject of 'women dress up as a man in order to be successful' has often been filmed and mostly better." However, the critics praised the leading actress: "The performance of Maja Maranow (' The Big Bellheim ') alone saves the film, which is otherwise very good and honest." When it comes to the overall conclusion, they remained critical again: “Good plagiarism of the old travesty theme”.
