This movie doesn't take itself serious at all and should be compared with "Not Another Teen Movie" instead of the American Pie movies.
Being aware of that, it's much better than NATM. In "Knallharte Jungs" everything imaginable goes wrong, which make this film very predictable on one hand, but on the other the whole "everything's going wrong"-thing is presented in a very strong and graphical way, so I enjoyed just viewing the visualization although I could predict what comes next.
The characters are completely out of reality, but nevertheless the actors filled them with a lot of life.
"Knallharte Jungs" surely isn't on the edge of German filmmaking, but it's worth to see if you like movies from this genre.
