Therapie und Praxis (2002 TV Movie) User Reviews

A German comedy that is actually fun to watch

A rare event, in my (admittedly limited) experience. Too often, made-for-tv German "comedies" focus on unsavoury themes involving unsavoury characters, leading to a teeth-grinding experience for the viewer--- a typical example being the dinner party where various couples tear into each other. Not so with the movie under consideration: there is no baddie; the characters are all likeable, if not particularly wise. Even the scenes of a more daring, let us say "romantic" nature, come across as good fun with nobody getting hurt. With the debonnaire Thomas Heinze as the therapist, Herbert Knaup as the eager patient, and the impossibly beautiful Nina Kronjaeger to perturb the proper conduct of the therapy, we have a winning trio that makes for a very entertaining 90 minutes.
