THE movie that inspired U2 to name their album "Achtung Baby". But that's about as interesting as this movie gets...

Rating: 5/10 (15 May 2020)

Joe O'Herlihy, the soundmanager for the rockband U2 came up with the idea of naming the new nineties U2 album "Achtung Baby", because he was inspired by this very movie, in which "Achtung Baby" is merely one of the many simplistic quotes that passes by during this completely silly movie.
The good: it's completely silly. If you love silly, this is your best pick.
The bad: if you dont like silly, this movie is annoying from the start. I need SOME serious acting though (EVEN IN A COMEDY) to make me really laugh out loud, because credibility and drama enhances the comedy for me personally. Simply put: I dont like completely silly movies, hence I dont like Mel Brooks movies very much, therefore only 5 stars for the truly excellent exuberant acting performances. Would have been better as an actual theatre play, which thrives on big silly acting gestures. Movies however dont.
The story: an accountant finds a financial loophole by which a Broadway theatre play can raise more profits when it shuts down after one night due to poor reviews and attendance. Now the only goal is to find a play that nobody will like...
