action

Tom Kostner is a macho as he is in the book. He cheats on his two girlfriends, he drives a swanky Cobra and works as an editor for a car magazine. Together with his roommate, the pub Ecki, he lives in a chic penthouse . But it is more appearance than reality: When he wrecks the new Maserati on a test drive, he is fired from the magazine. He should also take over the double-digit damage. His girlfriend Manu catches him with his other girlfriend and also leaves him. He applied to a few other magazines, but was unsuccessful there. When his Cobra is towed because he is behind on the installments, he reaches for his last straw: he applies to a women's magazine. However, since they prefer to hire women and homosexual men, he plays the gays. At first he taps into a few faux pas, but ultimately manages to convince the other employees.

However, Tom falls in love with Andrea, who is having an affair with editor-in-chief Theo Gross. The two meet regularly, but Andrea uses him as a shoulder to cry on and as a "best friend". When his masquerade threatens to break up, he kisses the somewhat uptight homosexual Kai. He invites him to a football game of his syndicate "Andersrum", in which Tom takes part after some back and forth. However, he is being watched by a player from his own club. Then his macho friends turn away from him. Only Ecki and his ex-girlfriend Manu still stick with him. He is now trying to go all out with Andrea, but she is convinced that her boss is finally serious about her. Fortunately, Tom receives an offer from his old boss and wants to quit. But Andrea is meanwhile devastated. Theo has transferred her again. By chance, Tom finds out that Theo has simply postponed his plans with her to his wife. So he invites Andrea to the same restaurant as his boss and his wife have planned. There he lets the situation escalate. Andrea asks him to throw himself on her neck to make Theo jealous. However, when he confesses to her that he is not homosexual at all, she turns away from him.

Tom goes to a soccer match between his old soccer buddies and the gay club. When the gays want to give up without a fight, he joins them and they play together against his old club. In the crucial minute of the game, he injured his head. Andrea is with him first and the two kiss.

criticism

The film is generally rated as a shallow, mediocre to poor comedy film, the humor of which is quite pubescent.

“After some wonderfully light TV movies (...) 'Macho in the spin cycle ' is a relapse into the phase of the ' American Pie ' clones. In the guise of typical German clothes , however, Edzard Onneken's film takes place in the generation of thirtysomethings. The humor is at best pubescent and the story is a bad joke. "

- Rainer Tittelbach : tittelbach.tv

“Admittedly, what is shown here is not exactly free of clichés and you can quickly guess what happened. But after a slight start, Edzard Onneken's love clothes (' Otto - Der Katastrofenfilm ') still get going. "
