Hugo Davenport 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. Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: C Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times This movie, while not a comic masterpiece, is very funny in places, and unexpectedly affecting in other places. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 9, 2005 Full Review Blake Davis KFOR Channel 4 News (Oklahoma City) An entertaining gay comedy of errors from Germany who's main asset is the attractive Til Schweiger. Rated: 3/5 Jul 14, 2003 Full Review Susan Tavernetti Palo Alto Weekly Rated: 3/4 May 20, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Forced comedy situations make this German film pleasant but unmemorable. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member "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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member THE most funny, queer, comical movie EVER made in Germany! As long as you are not homophobic. A delicious dish. Enjoy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member 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! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
