I have been living for almost 4 years in Germany... and Im still not fully understanding the culture... I also read the first part of the book... Well the humor for me is not so great (in general german humor...),but the movie isn't complete rubbish either... I think germans may find it really funny... I probably have prejudices and am tired of the cliques at the moment, so I am biased to judge.. The movie is also pretty political. Connotation to AfD (the right extremist party) etc. which is for me not were interesting.. Also the Kreuzberg multi culti, the späti etc. for many non-german viewers may be "lost in translation". I was deciding between 6 and 7.. the ending was quiet weird...

knowing german culture helps
Terrible, terrible
I am totally disappointed. Given the good quality books of Kling it is hard to imagine that anyone could produce a worse movie than this. 25 years ago, the Berlin dialogues would at least be kind of original, today it is full old cliché and this world is obviously long gone as well. What is even worse, the movie has not one likeable character in it. Always a very bad sign. Avoid.
Very boring and stupid - don't watch if you liked the (audible) books
This movie is even worse than I expected. Even with *no* expectations this movie isn't any fun.
In contrast to the (audio) books which *are* funny, the movie is not because of the stupid story and very silly jokes. The situational comic from the books is not transported to the movie.
The movie looks like it has been written by a child without understanding the philosophy behind the Kangaroo Chronicles.
It is so boring, I fell asleep while watching. The only thing I could like in this movie is the animation of the Kangaroo which is quite good.
