[A] sweet little crowd-pleaser. Go to Full Review Carla Meyer San Francisco Chronicle 05/17/2002
Instead of avoiding the genre's conventions, the effervescent German film revels in them, resulting in a picture so infectious it almost seems original. Go to Full Review Jules Brenner Cinema Signals 12/21/2004
3.5/5

None of this is the least bit believable, but all is told with a light touch and good humor and the characters are quirky enough that you can't help enjoying the ride. Go to Full Review Kevin John Bozelka Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 02/12/2004

Jopaul J @RT50615198 08/13/2023 There is something magical about this movie. Evan after so many years, it is my all-time favourite. See more 05/24/2018 Full of romantic clichés and cheesiness galore. It's impossible not to cringe in most of the scenes. See more 03/13/2017 The best road movie that I seen, very interesting and unique.. Makes you watch it all over again. See more 03/13/2017 cool and a good journey, which keeps one in smiles!:) See more 03/13/2017 IMO,a Jolly good movie!
