Schmirinski's: Feriengrüsse aus Saint Tropez

Movie

Starring Stephan Schmidlin, René Rindlisbacher

Is it Trapez or Tropez? Such harmless misunderstandings quickly escalate into complete chaos. And all because the Schmirinskis show up for a cruise on the Riviera. The Swiss TV darlings of 1999 have once again come up with a wealth of slapstick for their second feature-length and side-splitting "holiday video" – and transformed themselves into a myriad of quirky holiday guests. From the bumbling crook duo to the hard-of-hearing pensioners to the dim-witted pirates, they've got it all. Despite all the slapstick, Schmidi and René know how to make a first-class travel film: with wonderful Mediterranean weather, snapshots of the chocolate-box sides of Cannes, Saint-Tropez, and Corsica, a dream cruise ship – and, to top it all off, a crazy lap of the Formula 1 race track in Monte Carlo! But even before that, your hair stands on end...
