Actually one might say "Goonies" for the win ... not that this is a carbon copy of that. It actually takes away from many other sources too and makes this a nice little movie. We've seen better things made for sure and there are certain things that will make you cringe ... but overall this is a decent effort for a teen/kids movie, not just by German standards.
And it seems to be way better than the other series of movies made, I think around the same time. You may like "Die wilden Kerle" more though, which is your prerogative. I can't judge literally since I haven't seen any of those movies.

I didn't know what to expect of the filmatisation of the well-known German novel Vorstadtkrokodile. What I actually can remember is that when I read this novel as a child, I back then thought of, it would be great as a movie. So when I saw this movie is in the cinemas, I had to watch it. And I'm very glad to have done so! First of all the cast is great! Axel Stein does a really great job and also Semmelrogge is very funny in his short scene. I didn't know any of the youngsters, but all of them played their part very well - you instantly buy their roles the way they play them! And then there is the modernization of the context. Enormeausly well-done! Many nice gags, where I laughed out loud! This is a movie for everyone: the youngsters, young adults (like me, I'm in the middle of my twenties) and the elder generation! I hope you have read the novel, but if you haven't, I'm sure you are eager to do, after you watched this fantastic movie.
Heck! I even caught myself gladly smiling at the very end!

I love this movie before i watched this movie i was nothing but this movie gave me inspiration to just be myself and do stuff my own way. Its been 3 years since I watched it and since then I have become jacked and have kids and wife and a really good paid job. The best thing about the movie is that the wheelchair kid is there i think it made sense that we should include everyone in this movie great job man ! If this movie was not here i would prb be dead or just will be rotten up in my gaming chair playing video games. Thank god this movie was made. Im so happy that this exist. And just some last words Yes sit thanks !!!
