The Lovebirds: It Doesn't Soar, But It Glides
'The Lovebirds' is one of those movies that has a very direct appeal when it comes to its comedy. There isn’t a singular style, so much as tidbits of various ones here and there.
Volltreffer
BVB fan Philipp would do anything for his favorite team. When he gets wind that the pretty Viktoria wants to poach BVB's best player for FC Bayern, Philipp sees red. A soccer promptly hits Viktoria's head with full force, causing her to suffer temporary amnesia. Philipp sees his chance and pretends to her that he is her husband and her name is Dörte. He has to keep up this lie for three days, until the changeover period has expired. But the more time passes, the more the soccer fan's guilty conscience grows, especially as he finds Viktoria extremely likeable as Dörte.
