A young woman would like to get married, which her mother is not at all enthusiastic about. Which, however, has nothing to do with the bridegroom, but with herself.
Berlin – “Nobody ever asked you” – Anna (Meike Droste) has to listen to that from her daughter Clara (Vita Tepel), who, to the horror of her mother, is planning to marry.
Anna sent all of her exes into the desert because she absolutely did not want to get married. Of course, everything has to be prepared down to the last detail for Clara’s wedding – unfortunately, her father does not want to take her to the altar, as it is supposedly indispensable.
That gives mom the terrific idea of asking her various ex-lovers whether they would take on this job. But oh – nobody bites. Enough material for the ZDF comedy “Nobody asked me” this Thursday at 8:15 pm.
On the other hand, Anna’s best friend Daisy’s (Elena Uhlig) partner could finally take a bite, but he doesn’t want to either. But suddenly Anna can hardly save herself from the sheer affection, because the wealthy Albert (Oliver Stokowski) is vehemently courting her.
Anna is happy with her life, she is also satisfied with her job as an “upcycler” – she collects scrap old cars and uses them to make imaginatively designed furniture. She gets completely confused when suddenly Robert (Stephan Luca) appears. He’s the only man who once abandoned her. And she would probably have married him after all.
Unfortunately, the dialogues in this comedy by director Nico Sommer (38, “In love with Iceland”) are not really right. The all-too-keen story is quite clichéd and without the right bite – it would probably have worked better as a satire. In addition, it is a bit tiring just to tell an entire film about marriage – according to the motto “He wants me, but she doesn’t want” – or vice versa. Also not because unfortunately there are no new insights to be gained at all – except for the end, at which some habits and gender roles are broken.
The film about three pretty self-confident women is astonishingly entertaining anyway – but this is solely due to the great enthusiasm that all actors, especially the actresses, show. To be emphasized here are Meike Droste (41, “Life is not a kindergarten”), who slowly thaws out in her role, but later really does. Then Elena Uhlig (46, “class reunion”), who is again allowed to freely develop her beautiful sense of humor – and finally Vita Tepel (25, “Heldt”), who gives her film mother a lecture about responsibility and standing up for each other has washed. dpa
