A likable movie. The Ostfrisian scenery is nice, you would like to go there and see for yourself. In the genre it's quite a nice one, I think. The jokes about the Ostfrisians are that bad that you can only see it as a joke in itself. People who make such jokes look into a mirror when they see this movie. The scenes with the wedding meal, the firemen etc. are well-acted. The genre taken into account: worth watching. Josef Moosholzer is quite funny.You can see him in several movies of this kind, also in: Hurrah, die Schwedinnen sind da! There is also a second movie about the Ostfrisians: Die Rache der Ostfriesen. A little better still! The movie has been shot in the actual surroundings of Aurich and Norden in East Frisia, and in the village of Nessmersiel I think.
