Hammerharte Jungs (2023). 1h 42m | TV-MA

“I expected a German version of American Pie, a silly teen-comedy with some of the usual hilarious sexual situations and jokes. Well, I guess I got it, but I never expected it to be so excruciatingly awkward and tacky. The German title u0026quot;Hammerharte Jungsu0026quot; should have warned me: u0026quot;Hammer Hard Boysu0026quot; doesnu0026#39;t exactly sound subtle, and it more or less covers the rest of this movie, at least as far as I could endure it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo whatu0026#39;s it all about? The two main characters (a sheepish boy and a girl, both virgins, who apparently are in love with each other but donu0026#39;t dare to come forward) are suddenly struck by lightning (literally) and the boy finds out that magically his penis can talk. Really, I kid you not! And he can talk back to his penis, so complete conversations start, with the penis giving sexual advise and comments that are all extremely raunchy – a bit as if you hear American Pieu0026#39;s Stifler talking through the boyu0026#39;s penis. It gets even more tacky: since the penis goes more or less rampant, the boy gets enormous erections in public and in no-time becomes the hero of the school, nick-named u0026quot;Boner-boyu0026quot;. Oh, I almost forgot, the girlsu0026#39; vagina can suddenly talk too, so with her itu0026#39;s basically the same story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWell, from then on it only goes more and more downhill, and exhausted by too much embarrassment I finally threw in the towel. Itu0026#39;s probably my fault, since Iu0026#39;m a simple boring adult, and most certainly not the kind of person that the makers aimed at. I wouldnu0026#39;t be surprised if teens love it. Thereu0026#39;s no accounting for tastes anyway.”
