criticism

“Director and co-author Jürg Ebe got the maximum out of the simple story. The film is enjoyable, the joke is good, some punch lines are even brilliant, the running gags with the Zurich police, an Arab taxi driver and a Far Eastern tourist. The cell phone, the actual main actor, is - as in real life - a disruptive factor in important moments. ”- Blick

“Drifty comedy as a first-time cinema film by an advertising filmmaker. Since the chemistry between the actors is not right, the entertainment value of the collection of inconsistent gags is modest. "
