Review: This is my favorite German movie. The story is not really great, but the actresses and the soundtrack are. It actually inspired me to play the drums.

Summary: this band of bandits will rock your world
Review: this is your film if you love hip german flicks like "run lola run", rockin' musicals, or chick flicks as a general rule of thumb. here is one film which is as well-acted & well-written as it is choreographed. i can't imagine anyone in their right mind who wouldn't be entertained by this film & i sincerely pray no idiot american will try to remake bandits. so as not to bore you with a lengthy review of why i love this film, just go out & pick up a copy at your local blockbuster while you still can. i mean, while it's still in print. i will give you a few tidbits as to why you should want to see it though. every song is 100%addictive & you will probably find yourself tapping your foot, snapping fingers, or perhaps singing along with these talented german chicks. unlike some prison chick flicks, this one is neither excessive in the sex or violence department so there isn't a great deal of objectionable material. yes, you could probably pop it in with mom & dad or while teens are doing homework in the living room. lastly, there is never a dull moment in the entire film. each scene is as mesmerizing & exciting as the one before so you are constantly immersed in the grand scheme of things & you will care about each of the women. if nothing else, you will find bandits to be great eye candy just like the sleeper german film "run lola run" with the incredible photography. i bought this film in a used vhs bin & have watched it by myself many times & with friends.

Summary: feels real..
Review: this movie gives you an inside view into what it feels like to live in the germany of today, between old hate and new hope. Those lovely girls move along the backside of western society and show us a lot of things that go wrong these days. The german feel might not be liked by everybody but is actually a bonus. I loved it and the music is really something. The girls did all the music themselves and a great job there.

Summary: Worth Getting!
Review: This was one of those movies that came on while I was on the computer with the TV on in the background. After a few minutes I was watching this terrific story and enjoying the music of these four German women. After watching it a couple of times after that, I came to Amazon.com and bought the CD, which is wonderful! I am decided to buy the movie and would recommend it to others!

Summary: great movie, does anybody know this movie exists?
Review: Too bad that there are thousands of theaters in the US that did not show this movie. This movie is different: has energy, a nice flow(you do not yawn or blink)and the music is excellent plus it is a bit unpredictable. The director did a great job when she threw in videos but mixed the script with the themes of the songs so the viewer did not get lost or bored by a song. In other words this is not a musical. I've never heard about the director the actresses but there is definitely a lot of talent in all four Bandits. Tabatabai has an excellent future not only acting but actually singing. Angel's humor mixes well with Marie's age and Emma's maturity blends perfectly with Luna's toughness. The photography in the movie does not ask Hollywood a favor. The scenes were carefully chosen but did not steal the plot, for example, when all four got caught in the middle of the bridge in Hamburg(?).... Watch it and then order the CD. You will love it.

Summary: Great ride
Review: With a willing suspension of disbelief this DVD is great! Characters are believable and sypathetic. The music is catchy, and the German is spectacular -- students of it can catch "real" slang and much authentic dialect. The characters' imagination brings about a lot of wardrobe changes, but still, even in the "real" world of the video, one wonders how some of the survival wardrobes came to be. (Stilettos in the woods? ) Fun, sexy movie! Ending leaves audience open for further discussion. Though not quite as TOTAL GEIL as Lola Rennt, it is highly recommended to the fans of Lola!
