nice guy, the Hape Kerkeling. Warm, funny, self-deprecating, chubby. An entertainer who is not excluded, does not stick forever in a TV show, but completely private lives and know that it must be good times with the media circus.

nice guy who Striesow. Play Well, chooses the roles wisely and has physically, thanks to the rosy square skull of a carbon Dithmarscher farmers, an impish Grundknuffigkeit that corresponds to the type Kerkeling. In this case, enhanced by a few saber legs wearing Striesow in the role of the ascending pilgrims dilapidated Entertainers times fluctuating and sometimes a firm step on the Way of St. James. This is the captured in countless aerial barren French or Spanish landscapes basic motif of “I’m off”: an order realization wrestling lonely furrow hikers on the deserted Pilgrim

Once upon a time. At the latest to be read since Hape Kerkeling’s pretty, and humoriges (allergen) world-wise pilgrims diary was published in 2006, is up there with the rest circuit. Many of the five million German who bought the best-seller, then took himself to the almost 800 kilometer route to Santiago de Compostela. That still had to follow on the Run called “Kerkeling effect” a film adaptation, was as safe as the Amen in the church. Irrespective of the concentration on a few characters, she is faithful inspired by the book, told quietly and without grandstanding and released in time for the Christmas feast. Finally, there is a disguised as a search for God self-discovery.

Martina Gedeck plays the demure with heart

How do hear that, the path is difficult, the under the huge censer of the Cathedral of Santiago and thus leads to enlightenment. The Lord sends cloudbursts and transformed Pyrenees paths in mud paths. German Nervige want autographs from the seeker for a physical and mental breakdown healing television entertainer. Pilgrims how reliably applied by Martina Gedeck as Brittle Heart with Stella, with whom he would like to migrate want ever know anything about him. The awaited from skeptics in internal monologues encounter with God is slow in coming. Because it’s just lucky that the show host does not rely on the septic pilgrims’ hostels. And Vino Tinto is evening always plenty on the table

Otherwise, the regular flashbacks in Kerkelings orphaned childhood (the Katharina Thalbach as polynuclear “Omma” Bertha theatrical dominated) garnished Tour of galloping uneventful. A Meditation effect does not adjust in the face of pathos-free, profane imagery by cinematographer Felix Poplawsky and the identical style of director Julia von Heinz. Can that faith be a secret, you realize this soul wellness trip so even at the moment of spiritual fulfillment not to.

What should also be holy a pilgrimage, the trivialized by Kerkeling mounted in parallel way to the first TV show at Radio Bremen becomes? The sense viewfinder wisdom that weglesen be drinkable in the travelogue, revealed in the film – presented by Striesow as narrator – as the slightly ironic, too human platitudes, they are. Especially the stereotype “knowledge of the day,” Hapes nightly as refrain recurrent stage Conclusion, is a yawn. After philosophical flowers as “pilgrims hurts,” “On the path of enlightenment I grope still in the dark” and “Open your heart and knutsche the day” is missing at the finish of the route as marked by life, inviolable sympathetic gladiators actually only “Everything has an end, only the sausage has two”

“I’m off” takes place on Christmas Eve in 24 cinemas in Berlin
