Saturday evening movie, and Noshi selected this german comedy on Netflix.
I guess that is something else, or she choose it on the trailer of two guys playing ping-pong naked...
When Jan, a modest bikestore owner, starts dating the higher class Pia, he is invited to game night over at her friends. Finding himself suddenly thrown amongst the rich, but also their petty personalities. We get the rich housewife, the childish husband, a lesbian who can't get over her ex, and the freeloader brother. Rounding out the group is max, Pia's ex who is invited by the husband to try and get them back together.
They all look down on Jan, and slowly start to get under his skin with Max's constant boasting and challenging, slowly making Pia the prize goal as their masculine hormones take over. From Trivial Pursuit over a game of above mentioned naked ping pong, the two go at each other ever more competively, much to Pia's chagrin.
And then there is Jan's friend Alex chasing an escaped parrot...
Needless to say, this was a pretty mediocre movie. It did extract some "ha's" from my part, but I guess that is my little inner juvenile hunour streak playing up. It's okay to watch on a lazy evening but it won't be a movie you'll remember long afterwards.
