Nonureva Really Surprised!

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

kai_meschnark Great music, very funny story, wonderful actors. A young so called manager (Tom Schilling) wants to get more success for his band "Apollo Schwabing" (Stadlober and the very pretty Jessica Schwarz), so he organizes a huge festival with "D.A.F." as headliner. The problem is, that the band "D.A.F." don't know anything about that... If you raised in the early 80's in Austria or Germany like me, the film is a great reminiscence to that time. The music (D.A.F., Human League, XTC and the songs written in typical 80's NDW style for the fictional band Apollo Schwabing), the fashion, the youth cultures (punks, new wavers, "ökos") and even the TV spots, its all so authentic ! But even younger people could like this film, because the best is the very funny story and the real great camera. Have fun !

wolfsmode this film is a must... for them who have been young in the 80s and those who have not been born yet or too young to remember! great music and a nice and almost real story :-) a lot of great atmosphere !not another storyless hollywood film ! a great film from europe !especially the actors did a great job !

mm-1 I thought I would hate it! But it is great great great! Funny, funny, funny! Even if you are too young to now the 80s. But don't miss the "NATO-Doppelbeschluss"-Joke!!!!

DocJoe Though I was just 14 when the eighties were over, I feel somehow linked to that unique decade. So, this film may have a certain bonus for me as it is situated in the early eighties. Nevertheless, it is a heart-warming, very funny and yet credible picture. Unlike other 80ies movies the typical cliches do not seem too exaggerated or unfitting. This movie could equally be done in the Eighties. On the other hand, in that case it would be lacking gorgeous Jessica Schwartz...
