Keinohrhasen (Til Schweiger, 2007)

'Germany's sexiest man', actor-director Til Schweiger is somewhat regularly typecast as a prick, not least by himself, who the ladies are nevertheless unable to resist. Rabbit Without Ears drew phenomenal audiences and is a matter of some crudity and small import, a romantic comedy of a Jennifer Aniston or Matthew McConaughey calibre except with more shagging and swearing. Schweiger's character is a self-satisfied Berlin paparazzo, but essentially the director himself, who becomes a bit nicer in the course of bedding several women who tell him what a tool he is before falling in love with him. The film seems to hold a belief that it's making pertinent points about sex and gender relations while making us feel good, but essentially achieves neither with great depth.

4/10
