Overview
Tommie is the absolute loser in his home district of Cologne-Kalk: no money, no apartment of his own, no girlfriend. In the exhaust workshop where he toils, the foreman is constantly angry with him. But Tommie is in a great mood: The video freak dreams enthusiastically through the fantasy world of film art, preferably with the bust sex star Gianna S. in the leading role. Tommie collects exhaust pipes. When he steals a particularly capital specimen from Jupp's swank Mercedes, he gets into real trouble. He has no choice but to return the exhaust to Jupp, but his deadly ultimatum of procuring a case of the rare beer brand "Ramsdorfer Kölsch" by seven o'clock in the evening proves to be insanely difficult. Because at the very same time, "Gianna S." is expected in town...
MovieMagicScore Overview
Auto-generatedThis 1994 German comedy from director Ralf Huettner follows a hapless, movie-obsessed underdog from a working-class Cologne neighborhood whose life is short on money, prospects, and luck. When a reckless bit of theft lands him in trouble, he is forced into a frantic, deadline-driven scramble to make things right, all while dreaming of his favorite film starlet. Broad and farcical, the tone leans on slapstick mishaps and lovable-loser charm. Carrying a MagicMovieScore of 5.4, it suits viewers in the mood for light, regionally flavored comedy about a dreamer in over his head.
