This is one of those complicated TV comedies: You have dozens of characters (all of them weird), several plotlines intertwining, and all of them centre around a hotel where some important visitor is expected and an assassin plans to kill him. You get film people, artists, unfaithful husbands and the lot. And they switch rooms, find themselves in the wrong rooms, get discovered in bizarre situations etc. etc.

And of course, near the end it all comes together. Think "It's a mad mad world" without the car / plane / truck racing and you're nearly there... except of course it's German, so the gag-writers spread the gags slightly thinner over the duration of the movie.

It isn't the best movie ever made. But it's harmless fun for the odd hour-and-a-half or two...

6/10

German cinema is famous for its historical depth, expressionist aesthetics, and social-political engagement. It has moved from Expressionism to political reckoning, from New German Cinema's raw realism to contemporary genre experiments. Its legacy lies in both technical innovation and deep explorations of history, morality, and philosophy.

The comedy genre refers to a category of entertainment that aims to amuse and entertain audiences by using humor, wit, and comedic situations. Comedies are created with the primary intention of eliciting laughter and providing lighthearted enjoyment. They encompass a wide range of styles, tones, and themes, appealing to various tastes and audiences.
