So bad, it hurts.

This movie is really, really awful. And that's not the story's fault. I mean it's not a great idea, to make a movie about an old guy, who wants to make a movie with his ex-girlfriend, but that's better than almost everything else, you find here. There are two things, making the movie a torture: First the acting of director Michael Gwisdek, who destroys every scene he acts in, and second the references, with which Gwisdek rapes masterpieces like Pulp Fiction.

There is actually one nice scene and one nice character in this movie: The scene in which Gwisdek plays the mambo-game (he tells a guy in a bar how it works: You shout mambo and knock your enemy down. That's what he does with the guy.) and the Colombo guy, which is a nice spoof on the legendary detective. But they can't prevent this movie for being more than annoying dirt.
