    Go for Zucker is far from a perfect film but it brings easy laughter and joy.

    Writer-director Levy occasionally relies on cheap gags, but his light tone and breezy visual style are a nice contrast to Go for Zucker's metaphorical subtext about familial - and German - reunification.

    It's the rare German movie calling itself a comedy that is actually funny, even if only in bits and pieces.

    Somewhat better than the highly successful MEET THE FOCKERS and its more germane, equally successful sequel. And not much worse.

    The film understands the faults of the characters and forgives them. A funny film. What else can you say about a comedy?

    Simply horrible. This was a real hit over here in Germany but believe me, avoid it at all costs. It's worse than most German TV movies, it's just so unbelievably unfunny and clichedand just so ... ugh.. The leading actors are good, but everyone else is horrible, though they're not to blame, considering they're not characters but cliches. I HATED this movie.… Expand
