Reviews
At the time , on the occasion of the Cologne premiere, the following could be read: “Theo Lingen has the farce 'Nothing but Coincidences'. (...) Since the rapid fireworks of the tongues, as it is shot by Lingen and the Weiser, is acoustically adverse to the film anyway, the director and co-author EW Emo develops out of the hurry with which Theo, the steadfast, through the obstacles of the ideological coincidence he denies curves towards his own wedding, the grotesque comedy of American films that never fails in Germany and that moves the coarser diaphragms as a slapstick. The salmon volleys of the audience prove how effective this mixture is. "
Curt Riess called the film "Klamauk" and said: "The film still works or it works again."
"A lot of gossip and funny entanglements in a cheeky Berlin comedy."
