Excellent film with a gripping story!

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

well, this is no German remake of fast and furious - it is the German thought on fast and furious, a parody rather than a remake. and i had a great laugh watching it. my most favorite part is when the old lady brakes hard because of all the 'autobahnraser' overtaking her, and her choppers fall out of her mouth in slow-motion, biting into the stirring wheel! wow, what an effect! i loved the movie. real car stunts Made In Germany, no boring computer effects! good stuntmen, good joke ideas, unexpected situations! worth watching it!

For all of you who gave negative remarks about this movie get a life - the intended genre of the movie is not the same as need for speed underground at all. This was a nice relaxing comedy - not supposed to be action!!! I found the quip and jokes they made perfect as a lot of the comedies these days the directors and producers always want to go over the top and the movies end up being stupid. This is definitely not one of them. I might only be a Namibian German but I am not ashamed of my heritage like one of the other people that commented. I would suggest this movie to anyone who just wants to relax a little with very little violence and just light comedy - Enjoy it for what it is!!!!

Summary: I liked it. Beware! Don't watch this movie, if you look for a great "movie-experience". This movie is mindless and poorly executed from an artistic point of view. The plot is just outrageously badly developed. BUT if you have a "need for speed" in real life and are a car-enthusiast, you might at least be able to relate to the joy the cast manages to convey when they speed on German "autobahns" (probably the only thing they manage in this movie). If you don't expect subtle humour and a brilliant storyline, but look at the movie as what it was meant to be in the first-place - a stunt-, action- and car-focused no-brainer - you might be able to really enjoy this one. I sure did. Again: you should really enjoy cars and speeding (and don't fall into the stereotype of "souped-up car"="dick-replacement"), otherwise you'll probably really think of this as one of the worst movies ever.I personally give it a 7/10 for the good feeling and laughs (partially probably unintended by the filmmakers though).BTW: How the production company could launch this one, just when there was a major uproar about a so-called "Speeder-Trial" in German media (a young mother and her child were killed) remains a complete mystery to me and really gives me second thoughts about the producer's intellectual capabilities.

This film is great for TV, ProSieben in Germany or RTL II, but the big screen - get over it, it's a waste of time and money. The story is way too predictable. Directing, please give us a break. Why is a film like this being so pushed by the press and the distribution company - avoid at all cost, otherwise you may think that all German comedys are stinkers like this piece of cinematic c***. Usually when the producers mother, Miss. Iris Berben, isn't in a film by her son, the moovie is a failure. I think Constantin Film, the German distributer has to watch out, what their portfolio is gonna look like in a couple of years - I mean stuff like this is not going to work on VIDEO and DVD. But it will have great ratings on RTL II.
