| User Reviewyo yo mamma iReal good movie, very funny. And if you know a little German, well this is the best army related movie after Full Metal Jacket you could see! |
| User ReviewErnst WItâ??s a typical German YA comedy but reminds me one of the most popular genre movie in Taiwan film history, Military Comedy. The genre went down in Taiwan after the jokes went horrible and disappeared in Taiwan film industry. Itâ??s marvelous to see such kind of film again, even itâ??s German made. This film really got good jokes. When all the films with military topic are all serious, violent and thrilling these days, a light film like â??Kein Bund fuers Lebnâ?? gives Taiwanese military audience a break from their stern life. Itâ??s certainly able to earn the hearts of Taiwanese military and their money. Iâ??m not sure how much the film can entertain audiences who get no idea about military life, but I guess it could be extremely boring film for them. |
