Title: A milestone, in a way, but...
Review: The movie has a complicated plot, true, leading to some amusing moments. But there are also disturbing, gratuitous plot elements. First cousins discover that they know each other already - because they had had an affair years earlier. Most people would be horrified to discover that they had had relations with their own cousin, but not here. Other cousins - one a nymphomaniac, the other very repressed - predictably link up, even knowing that they are first cousins. In any case, it is decidedly NOT for the whole family, as another reviewer suggested.Its best moments come from the East German family's "Kosher for Dummies"-level cramming to keep up Jewish appearances. Because of this the movie has some minor significance in being the first postwar film in which the directors and the German audience were comfortable with Jewish humor. But if the film were set in France or Chicago instead of Berlin, I doubt we'd be paying much attention to it.
