11th German Film Festival!

Which one should I watch?

1) Wo ist Fred?
7 Nov

Fred (Til Schweiger) wants to get married to Mara (Anja Kling), who is a single parent. The hitch is that Mara’s son Linus (Ramonu König) hates Fred and is bent on getting rid of this unwanted male competition. There is only one way to win Linus’ favor: to get him an original basketball personally signed by ALBA-Berlin superstar Mercurio Müller (Drazan Tomic). And the only place to get it is the handicapped tribune, where Mercurio Müller throws the ball after each record basket. Fred sees no other option: he needs to pretend to be handicapped in order to gain access to the handicapped tribune. When Fred actually catches the ball he is the star of the evening. The following media hype forces him to lead an exhausting and comical double life in the course of which he finally finds his true love.

2) Die Aufschneider
5 and 9 Nov

The high-tech hospital St. Georg and the oldfashioned Eichwald clinic take up a comedic fight for survival after health authorities decide to close down one of the hospitals for economical reasons. Now, both hospitals have ten days timeto prove to the board of authorities that their facility is better than the other. But whereas the good natured yet gawky employees of Eichwald clinic begin to develop new concepts, the mean head of St. Georg starts a sleazy campaign to sabotage the rival clinic. Thus, within a short period of time chaos breaks out at both hospitals – but rarely for the good of the patients.

Both are comedies... Anyone interested? ;)
