Awards

reception

The Salzburger Nachrichten criticized the absence of any political worries and economic hardships in the characters' lives and the resulting lack of anchoring in reality that would have made the film a valid generation portrait, but came to the conclusion that this did not make the cramp of having children any less entertaining make. The Wiener Zeitung said that the film only scratched the surface, but thought: maybe it is exactly that: Because it's about superficialities.

DerStandard.at wrote about a film arrested in the Bobo milieu against the Austrian feel-bad cinema, which is also ironically referred to. and judged: The portrayal of failing people has turned out better. The daily Kurier said that a rabid mixture of "Sex and the City" for pregnant women and biting abuse from Vienna-Bobostan could make an excellent satire , but it lacks escalation and staging humor. [...] Everything moves in the well-tempered problem zone wellness area and sometimes evaporates into funny, but often only half-amused Bobo chatter.
