2/10
Lacks talent and creativity

"Dei Mudder sei Gesicht" (roughly translated "your mother's face") is a German movie from 1997, so this one has its 20th anniversary next year. The duo who wrote this, directed it and also acts in it is Simon Mora and Hardy Strohn. It was the first film for both and stayed the only film for Strohn, while Mora kept making more movies about his trademark character Kermet Dünger. The quality of this 90-minute film however is pretty much what you would expect from the title. It is amateurish trash and it becomes painfully obvious how everybody involved with this project lacks talent in writing, camera work, acting and filmmaking in general. It does look extremely amateurish and you know immediately that nobody working on this one was really experienced in film.

Some people (also if you look at the rating) like it because it adds some charm that the ones who made this were still fresh and daring in their work, but I cannot share this opinion. There was hardly any scene that I found only mildly funny and the humor is even way below Mario Barth level. The main actor playing an older lady in a costume is a joke that only works for one or two scenes and it becomes embarrassing quickly afterward. The only thing positive you can say is probably that the people who made this never wanted it to becomes as famous as it did. So the ones who are to blame are the fans who shared this complete garbage movie. I recommend you to stay far far away and I have zero interest to see Mora's follow-up projects. At least, Strohn learned something from it. Watch something else instead.
