| User ReviewLibor KIn one word : wonderful! CARPE DIEM ! |
| User ReviewSophia WI love the actors and the film is - with all its tragic but also its jokes - one of the best! |
| User ReviewLeonid CGreat movie... Though I think it's impossible not to succeed with such a great idea of the story. Definitely worth watching even with thouse exaggerations of criminal's and cop's dumbness. The see is surely beautiful...!!!) |
| User ReviewJason KA brilliant plotline, two decent lead actors, a lot of german independent movie air. i think i'm going to watch it again. and again. and again. "In Heaven, that's all they talk about. The Ocean. At sunset, how fucking wonderful it is to watch the big ball of fire melt with the ocean. The only light that is left, like a candle, is on the inside." |
| User ReviewZiggy WGreat German comedy (oxymoron?!) No, but seriously. Guest star is Rutger Hauer - what more can you ask for. Moritz Bleibtreu is so cool! |

| User ReviewEkaterina S"In heaven that's all they talk about -the ocean - and how wonderful it is.." perfect for those obsessed with the sea and love to life |
| User ReviewLubov Rthere's nothing to add about this wonderful film. I believe, everyone loves it |
| User ReviewPhilip BProbably my favorite German movie. Featuring Til Schweiger and Moritz Bleibtreu, the movie transcends most of what the German film industry produces. The two main characters, sports terminal bone marrow cancer and an inoperable, malignant brain tumor, careen their way through Germany, pissing off everyone they meet for one singular goal. They want to see something beautiful before they die. "Never seen the ocean? Then you better run, before you run out of time.â?? |
