Here comes/goes Kurt

No pun intended - actually it is a German song (Hier kommt Kurt), so you may not even know about that. Also it is just a joke/pun, which I like to use and has nothing to do with the movie overall. That being said ... it may be a fitting example of the movie. Maybe you like the joke maybe you don't ... but it is not appropriate ... well not entirely.And that is how the movie feels a lot of time. Which is sad to a degree - especially because there is quite the good story hidden here. Apparently it is based on a book too .... I assume the book is better than this ... which is quite easy, especially when Schweiger has some ill conceived scenes ... he does not have the acting range to really portray certain emotions ... at least as a viewer I don't feel it.Don't get it twisted though and even though there seem to be some allegations at the moment, he still is a powerhouse when it comes to German film making .. there seems no way to go around him ... well unless you know Schweighöfer I assume.It would have been a better drama if it were made by someone else.

Beautiful story, but boring

Tragic story with some halfway decent scenes, the turning point for the main actor at the end was nicely done, but other than that, the movie felt repetitive. We saw many scenes where the father was going through his loss and at some point it just felt like nothing was happening anymore. I would have loved to see the 2 parents reconcile as they do in the book. Plus filling this movie with boring and over used jokes did not help the movie at all. Of course some were funny, but not many. One thing that confused me though, that was never touched on, was the sons creepy biting his lips, when watching the movie, the guy one row in front of me asked his girlfriend whether the boy was retarded, because he kept making this one same face. Which I only after the movie found out is just how the kid likes to look, I cant believe they left that in, it always made me feel sad, when I saw him do that, because I thought the child was handicapped, but finding out later that he doesn't, just made me feel bad about them having him do that in the movie in every scene he is in, that's almost like clowining handicapped people.
