Potato Salad (2015)
6/10
Not as bad as everyone says...
8 December 2016
I cannot agree completely with all the negative reviews. Yes, it is not very good but I have seen much worse. Anyone who says that this is worse than Daniel Der Zauberer never saw that movie. The humour is on the same level as Fack Ju Goethe or any of the 7 Zwerge movies. The last one should be no surprise since Otto Waalkes also helped to make this movie. Some of these gags are funny in a Zucker-Bros movie kind of way (and some were even stolen from Airplane and Naked Gun). If Baseketball was a Zombie-movie, this could be Kartoffelsalat.

So, why that much hate for this movie?

Maybe this type of humour works better on an audience that grew up in the 80s.

Maybe because this feels like binge-watching German Youtubers. If you like them on Youtube that is fine but 90 minutes can be quite exhausting.

Maybe the fans expected something more from all their beloved characters.

I couldn't care less because I only knew the 7 Zwerge cast. Without much expectations or bias, this was an OK movie and I enjoyed it. This is just my opinion and everyone can have their own. BUT if Sharknado found an audience, maybe this will too. Give it a try, maybe enjoy it as a SchleFAZ with friends.

Know what? Make it a triple feature. 1. Libero with Franz Beckenbauer 2. Daniel Der Zauberer 3. Kartoffelsalat

Pretty sure after the first two movies, you will nominate Kartoffelsalat for an Oscar ;-)
