Review: Sat 1 Movie Tuesday 07.09.10 "Sind denn alle Männer Schweine?"(Are really all men pigs?)

”Sind denn alle Männer Schweine?”

Story: For the divorce Lawyer Maja Nielsen there is no space for the species men in her life anymore. This is shown by the fact that she raises her son Niklas alone – from the good for nothing who calls himself “father”,she expected nothing at all. So she focuses on her success in her job. The writing of helpful guidebooks helped to enforce her to a job at a real lawyer's office. Her first case already treat a broken marriage which hid secrets more then you could in the first sight. In addition,her lawyer opponents Hanno is a former one-night stand from the school – who doesn't recognize her.

So it just came right for Maja that the supernatural shock,caused by a car radio,gives her to ability to read the other genders mind. This strange gift was first very strange,but turned out to be a very helpful ability,especially with regard to her job success. It only became a problem as she rediscovered her old love for Hanno.

Actors:

• Valerie Niehaus as Maja Nielsen
• Oliver Mommsen as Hanno Wolf
• Anna Grisebach as Britta
• Denise Zich as Silke da Salvo
• Antonio Putignano as Franco da Salvo
• Stephan Szasz as Karsten Eichelberger

Critics: First,however,one would roll with their eyes: An electric shock gives Maja the ability to hear men's thoughts.Firstly,this is the nightmare of all men.With the second thought you already trail off to the movie “What Women Want” the very successful movie of Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt from year 2000.Now that woman is now a lady which nothing excapes – from original content there's no trace! No doubt,the script is patched together from various KORE SOUNDPACK cliches,something new should not be expected.But after all,the story template is successful: “Sind nicht alle Männer Schweine?” doesn't takes itself too serious,can come up with loveable characters,particularly between chemistry and the two protagonists.“Maja” and “Hanno” fit perfectly into their roles and give off a lovely couple.Thereafter,you can clearly entertain yourself with this comedy.Even the picture in the picture is right: the case of competing of Maya and Hanno is amusing and entertaining - yet equally cliché and predictable as its own framework.On contrary,the irregular use of voice-over of the son Niklas is totally unnecessary! Conclusion: “Sind denn alle Männer Schweine?” is not taping its whole potential,but can convince thanks to its open actors and the right pinch of humor.
