Kebab Connection, 2004 - ★★★½

You can also find this review on Letterboxd

The main character of this movie wants to shoot the first German kung-fu film. And by that, this movie became the first German kung-fu film ... kind of.

This was a fun little German comedy. The description got me hooked, it being about a film maker who wants to make a Kung-Fu movie. Sadly it was more about other stuff, like a Turkish guy dating a German girl, getting her pregnant and having to deal with the repercussions from his family while also having to think if he is ready to be a dad.

But that was no problem. It was fun and interesting. The characters were maybe a little stereotypical, but that was okay.

The only thing I can really say I didn't like is the ending. Not gonna spoil anything big but pretty much every problem in this movie is nicely wrapped up in the last 5 minutes, kind of without any reason or work done.

The fight choreography was awesome, something I wasn't really used to from German movies.

All in all a fun movie, I enjoyed it and it wasn't bad. Nora Tschirner is really good in it.
I'm rating it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
