After hearing for more then 2 hours of Quran suras, because one of my neighbors had to play it very loud, i looked forward to this BUCK movie. No wonder this religion produces terrorists, because hearing this voice screaming suras is the living hell. Having survived this torture i was so excited when the movie begun. BUCK known for many nice movies before, that all are very nice and comical, was more than a promise. I expected everything, but not such a disaster!! I couldn't stand more than 30 minutes. The storyline is unbelievable. There was no situation in this movie and no minute that i could take as realistic. No joke worked. The good actors act horrible..... I could give it 1 point, because as a BUCK fan i am disappointed, but i don't have to. It is simply gruesome, and i haven't seen anything so bad as this 30 minutes of this movie for a long time. The fact that so many celebrities worked in this thing, makes it incomprehensible. See for yourself, when you don't believe! But beware!!! Mixing it with Quran suras is dangerous....One more bad experience tonight and i am ready to kill.......... :-)

This is not a good film. It's neither entertaining nor making the viewer think of poverty and homelessness. The development of the main Character "Tristan" (laddie: Moritz Bleibtreu) is so ridiculous: He changes from a tough guy only affected by money and sex to a good boy who falls in love with an inhibited soldier of god. All he was seeking for was her virginity and after he got what he wanted he became a better person.The film fails because of two things: The plot gives the impression that the script only existed of a few key scenes which were strung together inaccurately. This makes the development of the story and of the two main characters Tristan and Josefine appear illogical. Moritz Bleibtreu plays on the level of a daily-soap actor. His bad guy behaviour is implausible. The new male german stars like Bleibtreu, Wink and Bauer shouldn't spend their time on fame but on learning to act (Bauer) and reading good scripts. And that's meant for Detlev Buck, too.

The movie is not that much special, except the role of Josefine (Lea Mornar). I hope she will be in many other movies too. I think she is very talented and made this movie a great pleasure to watch.

With this movie, Detlev Buck could have done a good deal - if the plot would have been worked out little more. The base story is really good: Two young attactive girls, female "soldiers of god" (kind of Salvation Army), were sent to a big city (Berlin) to support the local alms-house. But in city live they immediately were confronted with totaly new and unknown situations - especially men, but also suicides, the running gag of the movie. Unfortunately there is more plot than the movie can take. Several scenes just indicate important events, e.g. as Isolde (Heike Makatsch) was "raped" by Butsch while she's unconscious (-> Heinrich von Kleist, "Die Marquise von O...").The movie is very fast and contains lots of events - maybe viewing a second time could bring up more subtle details. For a comedy it doesn't make you laugh enough, but it's good entertainment - 7/10 for this nice (typical) german movie.
