Piratensender Power Play

You have to be in a certain state of mind ... because the low brow humor (I'm being kind I know) might be hard to swallow. Don't expect much in the acting department either ... again this is more ridiculous than anything else. But even with a movie like that you can have a lot of fun.

Have a heart for those not law abiding citizens ... they are also not politically correct in any way shape or form. Sexism and other isms are included here - for "fun" and comedic effect that is. But some may feel or view it as creepy. Some like it hot ... some others may feel it's not! If you get the reference you'll understand what I mean. The last few minutes are even more over the top therefor even madder than anything before - which may feel like it's a completely different movie you're watching ... if you watch it through that point in time, you won't mind ... convenient resolution included

I loved it. REALLY. For some reason I can not even name a sincere relaxing and fun to watch comedy of recent years - that would come close. Two guys - who are not really losers at the first glance - indulge themselves in a bit of a weird hobby. Owning and operating an illegal FM radio station. And local listeners LOVE THEM. For a simple reason. Every "official" Bawarian radio-station in their area totally and utterly lame! Tragedy for monokini wearing German beach-girls haplessly trying to catch a glimpse of timid European sun from behind the clouds on the lake shore with a trusted boom-box. So they tune every time when "Tommy und Mike" are on the air. The problem is - investigators from the official broadcasting corporation together with cops are tuning in as well. And using modern technology in a form of triangulating equipment of WWII era used by Nazis to pinpoint location of British and Russian radio transmitters. And they are hell-bent on finding and taking down Tommy and Mike's fun, but illegal (though non-profit) enterprise. At the same very moment Mike's farmer owning big sister comes up with a plan to make money of her brother's passion for broadcasting and radio DJing. She sells some heirlooms. Buys Chevy Van stuffed with professional mobile broadcasting equipment... And hilarity begins.

with a distance of almost 20 years this film can really be fun. hilarious story, some talented actors, famous names and the feeling of the 80s this flick is in tradition of 70s nonsense films. without thomas gottschalk in the leading role no one could watch this film to the end, but otherwise it´s so bad that it´s getting good again. but don´t consider paying money for the rental, wait for tv.
