Poster for Messy Christmas

2007 · ★ 5.1 (17)

A holiday celebration with the extended family gets stretched to the breaking point in this comedy from Germany. Sara is happily married to Jan, though this wasn't always the case -- Sara is Jan's second wife, while Sara has three ex-husbands, Gunnar, Andi and Erich, and she and Jan are raising children from each of their previous marriages. Jan is less than thrilled with the prospect of spending the holidays with Sara's mother, but things get worse when he learns his wife has planned a surprise for Christmas eve -- they'll be joined by Gunnar, Andi and Erich, as well as Erich's new wife Pauline, Andi's current spouse Rita and his own ex-wife, Eva. To call the atmosphere uncomfortable is an understatement, and things only get worse when Sara announces she's pregnant, which is quite troubling for Jan since he's been waiting for the right time to tell her he had a vasectomy several months before.

The film tells the story of a young guy who stops off in Munich in search of happiness, a steady relationship and fulfilling dreams. First he picks up two old acquaintances to go on a drinking spree through pubs and bars. The good old days of carefree life in the past are to be brought back to life for one more night. The handicap: the guy is broke. His friends generously step in. Already slightly drunk, our "hero" meets a relative whom he wants to hit up for money, but is knocked out by him in the pub's toilet. The broken lip was worth it in the end. He is a thousand marks richer. Enough to continue his drinking spree, but also enough to use the money to seek his fortune in the land of opportunity. His friends' reservations about the spontaneous venture are swept aside without further thought. Why worry? Happiness lies in the street, maybe I'll make the big bucks and (or) fall in love. At the end of the movie, we see him where we expected him to be: Munich-Riem Airport.
