The film constructs its comedy from the clash of rural innocence and urban cynicism, relying heavily on Otto Waalkes' iconic slapstick performance and grotesque situational humor. It explores the absurd lengths an outsider will go to for love and survival.
Those who tire of subtlety will find joy in this relentless parade of gags and visual puns. What lingers after the credits is the sheer energy of its unapologetically silly spirit. — MovieFinder Editorial
