As this 'movie', if you can call it that, begins, it informs you that it is based on a real salad. This already sets a bar too high for the majority of the jokes in this movie. The main character Leo will invoke an unsettling sense of deja vu for anyone who has also watched 'Freddy Got Fingered', and is generally unlikable throughout. The movie even seems to acknowledge that he should be despised at the end when he is revealed to have masterminded the entire zombie outbreak for his own gain with help from his Dad Walter Weiss (really).The jokes are either mind-numbingly stupid, such the police having a barbecque in front of the outbreak, or extremely mean-spirited, such as a shot of a classroom where a child has hanged themselves. Occasionally there is something to laugh at, but it is usually a case of laughing at the movie, not laughing with the movie, such as when a scene is accidentally reminiscent of a porno, or when a particularly bad impression of Angela Merkel appears on-screen.In general, if you like watching bad movies, watch it and then cross it off your list. If not, avoid it like it's a virus that'll turn you into a plastic-eating zombie!
So before i want to start the actual review, i want to tell the readers of this review, that i'm from Germany and that my English is not perfect, so if you find any grammatical faults....I''m sorry :(But nevertheless I'm going to review "Kartoffelsalat" now and let me say in advance, that if you already saw that movie and you are still somewhat sane... Congratulations for that.Kartoffelsalat came out in 2015 and most of the cast, are German youtubers. If you don't know any German youtuber, you made some good decisions in life, because most of them are just bad.The story is about an new guy at an school, who apparently is an loser. He struggles, with finding friends and starts loving an Girl, which already has an boyfriend. The typical story of an movie, that is set in an school. Shorty after that, there's an zombie outbreak at the school, which turns a lot of the students into zombies. (They really had to drag zombies into this, didn't they?)If you watch the movie whole, you will notice that you probably didn't even laugh once, which is not surprising, because all the jokes, that they use are just bad and so weak, that even using them is extremely embarrassing. The only human beings, that will maybe laugh by watching this movie are children, who see their favorite youtubers in an movie.As an example. My brother (11) likes this movie, because youtubers he is currently liking, are in this movie. The bad thing about the German YouTube scene is, that most of the popular German youtubers, are only popular, because of the young fans they have. This doesn't need to be an bad thing, but most of them youtubers, are just bad examples of adults.But let's come back to the movie. The good things about the movie are: the length....it's only 81 minutes long :)The bad things are:the cast (the cast just sucks)the story (i mean, come on)the jokes (shouldn't an comedy movie, be funny?)everything (beside of the length, the movie has nothing going for it)As for an ending, i would like to say, that you all should invest your time otherwise. There are a lot of other options, like playing an video game, do some extra hours at work, make an own movie (which would probably be better than this one.)Just do anything, but don't watch that movie.
"Kartoffelsalat" (Potato Salad) is the worst movie I have ever seen (and probably will ever see). I had hopes, that after Ashens had been able to produce a feature film on a small budget, Torge Oelrich (who had a 1M / 1.1M $ budget) could come up with another decent movie to show that YouTube is serious business. These hopes were crushed."Kartoffelsalat" starts out on some slapstick gags and puns that could have been in Airplane! or the Naked Gun. One or two of those gags are decent, but then you realize that this is the only thing this movie has to offer. Pun after pun after pun, none of which catches you off-guard or is even remotely funny. The plot remains unaffected by these lousy jokes, but as it is just a (sub-)standard zombie-movie-plot, there's really not much to talk about. But it's not even the bad acting, partially bad editing, unprofessional audio, out of focus/blurry images, and stupid-as-hell plot that annoy me the most. It's the audacity. The audacity to promote this movie with tons of German YouTubers' names, only to lure their fans into watching this. 90% of these YouTubers have cameos where they get to say one or two lines of dialogue and that's it. I actually feel sorry for those teens who thought they could see their idol on the big screen, but only got their money taken right out of their pockets. "Kartoffelsalat" has nothing to offer as a movie, and the more context you know, the worse it gets.
I have never laughed that hard in a movie. The jokes where perfectly timed. The actors where incredible. All those references where awesome. I think I will never find another movie like this. I can't understand why it is so underrated. If you have humor, you'll love all of it. Every second was gold. This movie changed my perspective on everything in my entire live. Just watch it and you will have fun. I would love to see another movie like this again. Thanks for watching, click like and leave a comment below, i'll appreciate it.Not really. I have never seen something more horrible than that. I don't get the million dollar budget and why one of the best comedians of German history plays part in this thing. The jokes where not timed at all, or overused. The story was predictable from head to toe and was not even creative in any way. The Youtubers aren't funny in general, but this is the top of the cake. Only one thing I liked, was the ending, when It was finally over.
