You know what would be cool ... ?! is a youth film by Mike Marzuk from 2007.
action
The two friends Tommy and Heinz are students, but they only know the university lecture hall from stories. They spend their days bumbling in the dreary rut between cornflakes with sour milk, salami pizza and computer games. Actually, they dream of doing great cinema one day, but since that would also be associated with work, the great film career will not turn into anything at first.
On the other hand, heartbreaker Heinz, at least, is pretty good at pretending to be a filmmaker in order to be more popular with women. At a party, Heinz meets the series actress Marie. She also falls for the dizziness and ends up in bed with the supposed director. It could go on like this forever. Lounging around, eating, partying, women - an everlasting cycle.
But there is still this idea, the dream of your own film. A real blockbuster, no matter genre, the main thing is not to be in a relationship. Tommy and Heinz would like to try that. But they don't have the money. Your countermeasure: You decide to bring someone into your apartment in order to finance the film with the rental income. To do this, they do what supposed film people do best: a roommate casting. There are several applicants. Ultimately, they decide by frills and twinkles and the future acting student Lisa moves in. She has just left her boyfriend whom she caught red-handed with Annabel, Tommy's ex-girlfriend.
Lisa is the opposite of the two lazy mouth heroes. She doesn't just talk, she is a woman of action. While Tommy and Heinz are still thinking about the order in which they will be named in the credits of the film, Lisa brings them both to the first test shots for their next casting.
And by the way, she turns Tommy's head above all. He's actually still attached to his ex-girlfriend. Lisa with her fresh and open manner comes at exactly the right moment. Put an end to old relationships and finally dare a new beginning. The two slowly get closer, but neither takes the decisive first step, neither confesses his feelings. Tommy is torn. On the one hand he still has Annabel in the back of his head, on the other hand he has long since fallen in love with Lisa.
And it is precisely in this situation that his old love gets back to him after a long radio silence. Tommy realizes: Even if hope dies last, it dies. He chooses Lisa. When he comes home after the final meeting with Annabel and hears Heinz and Lisa moan and scream, a world collapses for him. It was always clear to him that Heinz was after Lisa too. He pulls head over heels to his gay friend Bruno.
What he does not know: The two only rehearsed a little and re-enacted the famous orgasm scene from the US film Harry and Sally .
Reviews
“The usual confusion of emotions develops between all those involved […] The criticism of the domestic relationship box production integrated into the film remains toothless. [...] Nevertheless, the film, well played by its unspent actors, should be able to get a young city audience to answer the question "Do you know what would be cool ... ?!" seriously interested to follow up. "
“[…] Some directorial ideas like the guitar player who keeps popping up unexpectedly are really good. In terms of content, however, the Twentysomething comedy is less convincing, time after time you have the overly clear feeling that you have seen all the entanglements elsewhere and more pointedly. And somehow you have the feeling that the film-within-a-film topic would have included a lot more entertainment. "
"A film full of inadequacies, which at best offers a few swipes at the Munich film scene, but is characterized above all by lack of need."
Awards
