Best movie of this year hands down!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

"7 Zwerge" was a massive success in terms of box office here in Germany, so no surprise the second movie came out 2 years later. It's once again 90 minutes long. The center of it is Otto Waalkes once again and he brought basically the entire comedy elite from Germany in here. The director is Sven Unterwaldt again and he wrote the script with Waalkes and Bernd Eilert, who already worked with Otto back in the 70s. Not too long ago, a third entirely-animated movie came out, but it did not come even close to the commercial success of the first two. the second did not make as much money as the first, only about half, but still a whole lot, so it was the no°7 in box office 2006 in Germany.The dwarfs are played by the same actors as in the first film, with one exception. Wöhler played Majowski's part. Nina Hagen plays the main antagonist again and her daughter Cosma Shiva is also back to reprise her role. Many of the actors, also in smaller roles, like Hoffmann return here and they also got some new names, including Lindenber, Stein, Barth, Pocher (not a great fan of these four, especially the last two) and Olli Dittrich ("Dittsche") as Pinocchio in a hilarious performance. But I'm a great fan of him anyway. The cast is top-notch and as good as it gets for a German comedy movie. Katy Karrenbauer, Jürgen Tarrach and Karoline Schuch are also in this films, all 3 more dramatic actors really. Just like the first, this movie has references about all kinds of fairy tales, not only about Snow White. I mentioned Pinocchio before, but there is also Rumpelstiltskin and Hansel&Gretel. The film's title is obviously a reference to James Bond. The (00)7 fits also nicely in terms of the amount of dwarfs, but I don't know if they thought about that.One of my favorite scenes was Maddin Schneider's turn as a fireman, obviously the perfect profession for someone with so quick reactions like his. What I did not like, however, was that they somehow gave every comedian his moment to shine. I like Ralf Schmitz, but his pantomime number felt almost more out of a comedy program than out of this movie. Nina Hagen did not do really much for me either and I have to say I lost a bit interest here as the film went on. The first half was possibly better than the second. The "Pet Shop Boys" cover at the end was nice though. All in all, I would say this film is slightly inferior to the first, both pretty decent movies though and worth a watch.

I've seen the first of the dwarf-Movies and sometimes I had little fun watching it. There are many famous TV/Comedyactors appearing in the first part and presented, in fantasy costumes, typical little episodes of their Stand-Up-Program and exactly that is the problem the second movie has to struggle with. Everything was already there....nothing new to obtain. You're familiar with most of the often boring and dumb "jokes" and you always feel like their goal was to put in every Comedylooser of the last decade who wants to get back on stage. There's nothing important about the story: typical fairy-tale story of Rumpelstiltskin, without any importance. I expected something like that but that's nothing I could complain about. I'm actually complaining about the lazy story writers who had an entire background story; their only business was to get many jokes and parodies inside but they didn't get it anyway. This crap is except the great appearance of Helge Schneider a total waste of time and money.(if you don't like him then remove 2 points of my evaluation) If you like to save your money and get bad jokes then watch the crap that's broad casted every Friday evening on SAT1 or RTL for free. I'm sure you will recognize some "laugthers" I saw last night in cinema.

Yes, this movie IS nonsense. I saw it yesterday. But I have to say that I don't know many movies which made me smile like that. I found it much funnier than the first one, although the plot was not very meaningful. There are MANY well-known German celebrities who make a short appearance (Udo Lindenberg, Oliver Pocher, Dirk Bielefeldt, or, having already appeared in the first movie, Christian Tramitz, Atze Schröder, Helge Schneider, and Heinz Hoenig), but I don't think that they overload it, they are just sidekicks to everything that German audience is interested in ;)) All I had wished had been some more scenes for Heinz Hoenig, who is a really great actor ;)In fact, I really recommend this movie if you just want to have some nice and harmless fun and want to feel better after watching. :)

A really bad sequel. Part 1 had a lot of funny moments - part 2 is just bad (in a boring way) and obviously made to squeeze money out of the fans.Shame on you, Otto Waalkes!The only slightly amusing moment in the film is Helge Schneider who apparently seems to be pis*ed about the other characters. It's quite easy to identify with him...The screenplay is sloppy/non-existent. The director should do everyone a favor and quit his job immediately. The acting is worse than a 2nd grade school play. Technically the movie is awful as well, but who can blame the cinematographer/sound guys who had to work with such an untalented director?
