Review of Lammbock

Lammbock (2001)
8/10
Very good movie, but with one vile scene in it

I like "Lammbock" very much. To me it is not a typical "Stoner"-Movie, but more about friendship, about making your way in life and how narrow the cliff between good life and danger/peril sometimes is. It has very good dialogues too; from the acting Moritz Bleibtreu delivers most jokes, but Lukas Kantorowicz to me prevailed and was just great. Mainly is a comedy; but some of the content is very deep and like the "small man in your head"-discussion (which starts about the two guys discussing if anyone would suck only soccerstars Mehmet Scholls dick or anyones dick) true in a psychological sense. There were two things I did not like:

  • the scene, where Stefan mistakenly humps his sleeping sister and discovers it only in the morning, is just disgusting. Not only that it has nothing to contribute to the story, it is just vile and no content worth for joke (I think this was their intention).


  • also, I did not like the end of the movie so much; when Stefan by free will fails his final exam and also leaves the country. It was like a plea for egotistic behavior, leaving all behind, after his father - who helped him out in a very difficult situation - and Kai helped him so much.
