That was an excellent one.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
The movie not only presents the famous German actor Gustl Bayrhammer in his best role. It also presents the "Butzemaenner" (gnomes) Hatschipuh, Schmirgli and the sweet rabbit Otto. The movie wouldn't be so good without the "nearly" Oscar-nominated soundtrack, including the Smash-Hit of Nena (99 red balloons) "Jung wie du". Don't miss it - watch it (again and again and...)!!!
A few days ago i watched the german movie "Hatschipuh" for the 23rd time and even as a grown up i still find it very very funny. Then i decided to search for it here on imdb. Bingo! there it was and here is my comment: For the first time i saw this movies at the age of 6. Since then i watched it again and again. It is sooo funny. Forget Eddy Murphy and Chris Tucker. The little gnomes know how to make you laugh. And you´ll laugh your head of throughout the whole movie. I promise.The Soundtrack is also superb and features a brilliant song made by Nena. Nena had a huge hit in the 80´s with her smash-single "99 Luftballons" ( 99 red ballons ).The movie is directed by Ulrich König who created the famous Pumuckl series, which was an incredible success in Germany. So you see, this movie has it all. Great acting, lots of fun and even some well made special effects. Go and rent or buy it.10/10
Gustl Bayerhammer, who won the "Bavarian Fusspilz Award 1987" for his "Meister Eder" performance in "Pumukl", takes in this fabulous movie the chance to show the public his incredible acting skills. Bayerhammer rules. He is the german godfather. Go and watch this movie. You won´t regret it.Hatschipuh combines the strong story-telling of "Lord of the rings" and the special effects of the famous knight rider series, starring David Hasselhoff.10/10
This movie is one of the funniest i have ever seen. Especially german actor Gustl Bayrhammer who is well known from the "Pumukl" series comes up with an amazing performance. Although being made for kids even adults can have a great deal of fun watching this movie. I give it 10 /10
