Criticism
"As a parade of individual skits, one could imagine the film quite well, but stretched out into a feature-length narrative cinema, look at the corners a bit much filler out. In addition, the insignificance is not only the main character program, but also in the all-too -sufficient production. With a little more ambition of the material would have given a comedy whose Kauzigkeit she had risen above the average. "
" The delightful original idea of the comedy, however, will not ignite properly and opens into a sequence frugal skits around which seeks the plot and the staging looks too plain. "
"What an island called Udo suffers the lack of consistency to the one with exposure issues and situations is not only few, but also decided to further develop in depth. Because in addition to the rare subtle moments where the kindred elements comedy and tragedy really come close to each other, the film corny jokes and skits klamaukige lined up against each other, as if it were to reach a certain Gagquote to come to the game length of 80 minutes.
