I strongly disagree that this is one of the best German movies. There have always been really bad, boring German movies (often well-done and critical/educational, but boring) and very good entertaining, progressive ones from the early works of Murnau and Wiene, the feelgood movies with Heinz Erhardt, Conny Froboess, great satires by/with Loriot, Hape Kerkeling, Michael Bully Herbig, etc.etc., and like the director of FJGoethe (Suck me Shakespeare - what a dumb translation) pointed out: the genre of school movies/student pranks movies has been a longtime German genre, from films with the great Heinz Ruehmann, Hansi Kraus und Peter Alexander until now FJGoethe. And FJG is a bit of an impositon/ an attack at good taste, but it also has strong moments when showing and parodying the daily burden of teachers and the wrong belief of many people nowadays that it is cool not to know things, but the biggest strongsuit, the heart and glamour of the movie are the women. Of course the greatly talented fantastic Karoline Herfurth and Jella Haase, but also the smaller roles like the iconic Katja Riemann and also Jana Pallaske, Alwara Hoefels, Lena Klenke, Uschi Glas, Gizem Emre etc. - these women are the heart and soul of the movie, you connect/feel and hope with them and that's why you enjoy the movie and want to see more. Go women!
