Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The film is filled with stylish renditions of lively, funny and sentimental songs.

rotten:
Performances aside, the movie is dull and perfunctory.

A glorious surprise.

fresh:
The story of the Comedian Harmonists, who brought to the waning days of Weimar a bubbly frivolity, is a rich one. Rich enough to keep you watching and wanting to know more.
– Peter Rainer,

rotten:
The movie is history as kitsch, not quite on the Life is Beautiful level of manipulation, but clumsy.
