I had no major expectations going into this one, but I had heard good things about it over the years on the internet so I was at the least a bit optimistic. The situational tragic comedy starts strong and ends with even stronger notes. The actors give an impeccable performance coupled with the impactful sound design and soundtrack providing a comedic performance that is very reminiscent of the times when it was made, and it hasn't aged a bit. It's hilarious, relatable, and balanced to the minute details in maintaining a tonality that many recent comedic flicks miss the mark on; which is to still have heart and earnestness in the plot despite its offbeat nature. Standout performances by the lead actor and the actor who plays the protagonist's brother are so magnetic that you will be staying to watch the film just for their performances even if the plot is too mundane or boring for you.
Guess the saying that Germans don't have a sense of humour is incorrect after all because this production from the country proves otherwise.
A very easy 9/10.

Some more romcoms
^These two are hilarious and engaging
Guy helps desperate gal score by explaining how men are and then ends up falling for her and breaking all the advice he gave her. There are other subplots on the side here that work well
7/10 for the lot

Yes, i had recommended it in a previous post. And the plot is kinda similar to HJNITY but they're completely different movies. The latter has stories of other couples mixed in.

It's so good to watch such simple rom-com movies, without having any complex or world-is-going-to-end plot lines.
