Not talkative but extremely gabbling comedy that seems on the outside very modern, but one that has the same mores as the German love comedies of 30 or 40 years ago; when will these mainstream German directors ever learn? Moreover, the makers think that visual (!) jokes about the amounts of sperm of sperm-donors are funny (hilarity on the set); not that I mind, but it is all so very childish.

The women communicate a lot by (portable) telephone, making this film a tiresome and irritating experience - indeed, there is hardly a scene without a telephone conversation. After the first GSM free restaurants I suggest a new phenomenon: the GSM free film.

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.
