I saw this movie yesterday, as I was invited to do so, not expecting much as I had read so many negative comments about it. I must admit, that I haven't read the book yet; perhaps it would have made me more critical then. The main line through the movie is concerned with the relationships between Jan and Katrin on the one side and Rüdiger and Melanie on the other. Uwe Ochsenknecht as Jonathan (the alpha-man) is brilliant. I simply liked watching the characters, who seemed sympathetic and mostly "taken from real life". I enjoyed the occasional flashbacks into stone age behavior. If you liked watching Woody Allen's Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask, you will certainly enjoy this movie and have a good laugh. But don't take it too seriously! When it appears on DVD I'll be sure to get it, as it is a movie that I would like to watch again ...and again.
