Self-assured ladies' man Axel Feldheim (Til Schweiger) is supposed to be faithful to girlfriend Doro (Katja Riemann). But when she discovers him sleeping with another woman, she boots him from their apartment, forcing Axel to search for a new place to live. He ends up moving in with a timid and isolated gay man named Norbert (Joachim Król), who quickly falls for his straight roommate. But Axel doesn't reciprocate. Meanwhile, Doro learns she is pregnant and then tries to win Axel back.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Some mildly funny jokes about the sexual confusions of that Seventies throwback, the men's group, lumber on into a fleshy farce that never entirely escapes the ponderous impress of Teutonic heaviness.

This movie, while not a comic masterpiece, is very funny in places, and unexpectedly affecting in other places.

An entertaining gay comedy of errors from Germany who's main asset is the attractive Til Schweiger.

Forced comedy situations make this German film pleasant but unmemorable.

"Der bewegte Mann" is Germany's funniest date movie in a long time and, like its hero, does a risky balancing act between the sexes.

THE most funny, queer, comical movie EVER made in Germany! As long as you are not homophobic. A delicious dish. Enjoy!

Not bad for a movie from 1994 (!). Germans can apparently do comedy with a good timing. The plot's not that great but the actors are.

A very funny movie that totally lacks a point of view. I liked the plot until the ending which was absolutely disappointing. Having a child changes it all? the hell it does!

As far as mainstream German comedies go, this thankfully isn't as broad as it could've been, and for a 90s comedy about the clash of straight and gay cultures, its actually pretty even handed. It has a fairly decent laugh quotient and characters that are easy to spend time with.
