Schluss mit lustig!

while above average by the anemic standards of pro7 tv movies, this "romantic comedy" is hampered by being neither romantic nor funny. furthermore the characters are annoying (especially maja, who is never likeable or interesting, only grins fakely ad nauseum and does not develop whatsoever) and it is utterly impossible to believe they would ever get together, other than perhaps for an ill-considered one-night stand.

the "hero", felix's, appeal is mainly derived from being an infantile loser who seems to do nothing at all except mope around feeling sorry for himself. his milieu, supposedly cool, is wan and dull in every respect, and left me feeling a bit depressed. the end sequence featuring synchronized swimming was a mild secretion of an all-too-lacking imaginative spirit, albeit one ruined by the two annoying kids screaming at each other to wrap up the movie. best thing about this one was the guy who played moritz, otherwise it was a fairly lazy effort.
