action
Isi comes from a wealthy family and lives in a villa in Heidelberg. This inheritance is more of a burden to her and so she rebelled against her parents' home as a child. She only got her high school diploma with the help of the family lawyer. But instead of studying business administration , she would rather be a cook in New York. In contrast to this is Ossi Markowski, who lives in Mannheim. Somehow he gets through life more badly than right with his mother, who runs an over-indebted gas station. He dreams of a professional boxing career, but his sponsor has just dropped out. In addition, his grandfather, a neglected petty criminal, has just come out of prison.
Isi and Ossi's paths meet in a burger joint in Mannheim. Isi uses Ossi to make her parents jealous. In contrast, she wants to help him as a sponsor and also save the over-indebted gas station. At the same time, Ossis Grandpa is taking off as the rap star "Legend". What begins as a game, however, suddenly becomes serious, the two feel something for each other. But when Isi's parents collapse, the looming relationship breaks up.
After a few entanglements, Isi finally decides against the apprenticeship as a cook and buys the burger joint. Ossi wins his professional fight and the two start into an uncertain future.

Reviews
The film received mixed reviews. Jan Freitag from new Germany praised the "second best German-language script in a long time after" Bad Banks "and highlighted the" fantastic cast "in his review. He further wrote:
“In addition, however, after the youth film“ Bis zum Blut ”, Oliver Kienle manages for the second time what public social dramas usually fail: to target youth culture between outburst attitudes and dreams of the future, free from embarrassment, without exposing it. For that alone you have to be grateful to the first German feature film from Netflix. "
In the Süddeutsche Zeitung , Philip Bovermann wrote that Isi & Ossi bridged “almost all the social divides that can be found in Germany - between East and West, young and old, 'potatoes' and 'Kanaken'” by bringing the opposing camps against a common enemy The position is: the money. "He comes to the conclusion:" If that's what Netflix read about Germany in its data crystal ball, there may still be hope. "
Jens Müller, on the other hand, titled a review for the taz website with the headline “Wow, Netflix can also be bad” and compared the aesthetics and style of the screwball comedy with in-house productions from ProSieben or Sat.1 20 years ago and the film with it as not very original.
Oliver Junge wrote in the FAZ :
“When the often hair-raising dialogues (...) lead to the sentence 'Because that's the fucking life' after just under two hours, all that remains is the resigned résumé that this garish Netflix serve, which does not challenge its actually great actors and not even passed as a gender- fair remake of ' Pretty Woman ', hardly signifies the hoped-for change in the era for German mainstream film comedy. What a shame."
On Spiegel Online , the film was described as "a thoroughly conservative and conventional love-making comedy that ends even more predictably than anticipated".
