A bit exaggerated, of course, but it ultimately creates a very well-rounded picture. I recommend it.

Hm, maybe I am way too young for this movie to find it so extremely funny like all the other (way older) people in the theatre did.
But this was kinda hard for me to watch.
I took notes on which "current hot/controversial topics" were mentioned in the movie (mostly in chronological order as mentioned): AI, "gendern", racism, indigenous people, cultural appropriation, Nazis, LGBTQ, feminism, furries, Putin, Trump, Musk, climate change,
youth language/slang (e.g. Rizz or Cringe), veganism, smoking, VR, capitalism, political left-orientated people, social media, body positivity, meta, depression, e-scooters. Not that much, right?
I'd think people want to see movies in order to escape reality for 2 hours. Instead you get a movie about nearly every controversial topic that your political right-orientated grandpa might be talking about during the family reunion. (Fun fact: Exactly such a person I just characterized plays a huge part in contributing to these topics..) And of course during the nearly 2 hour runtime these topic are the ONLY things people talk about.
I can really do without this movie.
But let's not just bash the plot. If you ask me, most of the actors did an okay job and I thought the whole time that Jan Josef Liefers looked extremely like Robert Downey Jr.
Also the movie looked alright and the soundtrack (especially at the end) was not bad.

Yes, what can I say? If you want to dive into 2 hours of everyday life, merged into a comedy, extremely targeted towards older people (40+ I'd say) then: This movie is just perfect.
But if you want to see an actually funny comedy (for everyone) then maybe watch something else.
