action

The young couple Melanie and Ali Struttmann, owners of the Struttmann tile center in Tötensen , split up for a weekend because Melanie wants to go on a wellness holiday with her two friends. Since the women want to fly secretly to Ibiza to Melanie's surprise, they have to spend another night in Hamburg, which draws them to the nightlife there. Ali, although he is supposed to take care of their baby Bobby by himself, lets himself be persuaded by his three friends Georgie, Hakan and Mike to spend a good men’s evening with them. After all, he would have a “storm-free booth” and they would have to use that. Immediately they go shopping and bring everything that is needed for such a boozy evening. However, the baby also wants to be cared for in between and since Ali accidentally burned his notepad, he doesn't even know how to warm a bottle properly. So it explodes in the microwave just when Melanie calls because she wants to briefly inquire whether everything is okay. Ali can reassure Melanie, but nothing is okay anymore after Rocky Harkensen, the red light star, is standing in front of the door. He had recently complained to Ali that the tiles he had laid were too slippery. Now there have been major problems with the users of his sauna club slipping on it and Rocky is calling for revenge.

Georgie, Hakan and Mike notice their friend's disappearance and go to look for him. At a gas station, the three of them find out that someone had recently asked about Ali and so they make their way to Hamburg. They take baby Bobby with them and want to bring him to Melanie's father Rudi, who lives in Hamburg. However, he doesn't even know that he has become a grandpa and has also changed a bit in recent years. He had discovered his feminine side a long time ago, wears women's clothes and also lives with a man. He is very happy about his grandson and likes to take care of him. The three continue to search for Ali and get into a police check. Since they are not completely sober and are traveling in a car that does not belong to them, they are detained and taken to the police station.

Meanwhile, Rocky Harkensen has convinced Ali how slippery the new tiles really are. Then he forces him to act as a stripper in his bar. Here Ali and Melanie meet again surprisingly and both are horrified to face each other here. Ali immediately runs away. Melanie hurries after him and confronts him. Now they are forced to give each other declarations for their stay in Hamburg. Melanie also learns that Ali is not entirely innocent of Rocky Harkensen's complaint, because he had bought cheap goods from China on his own initiative and sold them on at high prices as alleged branded goods. Out of concern for Bobby, Melanie wants to go home as soon as possible. When they finally get there, a police car is already parked in front of their house and their father - to their horror in women's clothes - is just arriving in a taxi. Since she is ashamed of him, she only takes the baby from him briefly and sends him away again immediately. The house looks like a battlefield and the police are already waiting for Ali. They take him to the police station so that he can confirm whether the secured vehicle is his transporter. He can answer in the affirmative and “free” his friends from preventive detention. Back at the tile center, Rocky Harkensens is already waiting for Ali and insists on making amends . To his amazement, his father-in-law Rudi is also here and stands up for him so that the situation does not escalate. He promises Rocky, together with Ali and his three friends, to re-tile his 150m² pool area overnight. Georgie, Hakan and Mike, however, are very tired and hardly want to "go through" one more night. But it doesn't help to bail Ali out of a jam, join in and in the end Rocky is satisfied too. Melanie is also proud of her husband and is now starting her trip to Ibiza.

Reviews

Rainer Tittelbach from Tittelbach.tv said: “The mid-thirties in Lars Becker's 'We'll go through until tomorrow morning' let it rip again. It's just a shame that the script doesn't deliver what the actors and the comedic starting point promise. So this regressive night shift never tips over into the truly anarchic; instead, there is hysterical fooling around until the police arrive. And the gender subtext does not seem more contemporary than the pictures of the slipper hero & the wife with rolling pin. "

Marco Maurer wrote for the Süddeutsche Zeitung : “There are people in this country - mostly men - who even discover a class in a woman over a toilet bowl, provided Heike Makatsch plays this role. In the ZDF film We go through until tomorrow morning by director Lars Becker, even hardcore fans of Makatsch should turn away bored. One hour and 29 minutes of boredom, no tension, no distinctive characters, nothing. ”“ The female roles […] seem like sex-and-the-city characters on a country party. ”Despite the good cast, there is no right atmosphere. "The acting crew [...] could have spent a good few days in Hamburg during the shoot on the Reeperbahn," but next time they should "bring a little mood into the film."

Anja Rützel wrote for Spiegel.de : “Dignity, joy, residual brain - marriage kills everything. And it's the women to blame. At least in the ZDF clothing 'We'll go through until tomorrow morning'. And what do the men do? Defend yourself with a hangover-style drunkenness . ”In this ZDF comedy“ this constellation is supposed to be funny - in truth, of course, it is deeply depressing. Above all, the fact that such scruffy gender clichés are still dealt with in German amusement films, which barely scrape past the Keifweib with a rolling pin. ”“ This gender battle is bizarrely flat, the cast of which made more expectations. ”“ If the plot was only reasonably surprising the details are exaggerated and silly. "
