People who liked _Toni Erdmann_ are the ones who laughed while watching it, so it really depends on what tickles you and whether or not it does translate well for you (despite what people say, humour is **not** universal, especially the one with dialogue). My suggestion is to try and forget what the critics said and watch it with an open mind, there's many good things to be said about this movie, but also as much many not good things (runtime, for example). I kind of identified with the father and his message, but maybe not with the method he chose to deliver that message, so it was kinda a hit or miss for me in most of the movie's big moments, and in the end I didn't feel like I took away anything of value when the credits started rolling. In short: it's a weird movie... like, really weird.

A man thinks his daughter is too serious and career focused, so makes an impromptu visit to see her on a work trip in Bucharest. He bombards her with practical jokes, donning a false set of teeth and creating a character, ‘Toni Erdmann’. Much of the comedy comes from the daughter being mortified but also barely containing her laughter as her father talks to her colleagues ‘incognito’. He preys on the knowledge that she’d be too embarrassed to admit such a buffoon could be her father. It doesn’t sound like much but it’s often hilarious and provides an interesting dynamic on which to build the father/daughter relationship. At 2h40m Toni Erdmann demands quite a bit of your time but the gentle pace is also part of its appeal. Things don’t really get going for about an hour but Ade uses the time to carefully lay out the scenario and flesh out the characters. This is definitely one in a million. Perhaps it’s not as side-splittingly funny as everyone is saying but Toni Erdmann is still a truly charming, tragic, genuine and heart-warming film. http://benoliver999.com/film/2017/02/04/tonierdmann/

Despite the lengthy running time, the film kept me engrossed throughout. Moving and funny, this is the kind of film that makes you question not only your family relationships, but also your attitude to life. Sometimes we can take ourselves too seriously.. the film, through the quite bonkers Mr Erdmann, teaches us not to. Delightful and strange, see it before the inevitable schmaltzy Hollywood remake.

I have kind of a problem with this film. Definitely it's good drama but honestly, I have no idea why many people perceive it as a comedy. Ok, some of the scenes are remotely funny but while I've heard opinions that people almost died with laughter watching this, for me it was a truly sad fil More

**What do you think is worth living for?**

I had tough time to figure it out what was the thing on the poster. Seeing it upside down, with mirror, name it, I used all the tricks I know, but nothing had worked. On the other hand, I thought it might be a fantasy film with a King Kong like creature. More

Hmmm. I think it may be a testament to the skill of Peter Simonischek here that I didn't like this film very much, but in any case - I didn't. His daughter "Ines" (Sandra Hüller) had made a decent life for herself in the corporate world and the two have become largely estranged. He decides to try a More
