Eine Dummheit macht auch der Gescheiteste

About This Movie

Eine Dummheit macht auch der Gescheiteste is a curious little comedy from '78 that kind of revels in its own absurdity. The pacing has this almost frantic quality, with characters bouncing off each other in a way that feels both chaotic and charming. The humor can be a bit hit or miss, but that's part of the fun—it feels genuine, like a group of friends trying to outdo each other with their antics. You might find some practical effects that are a bit dated, but they add to the film's quirky charm. It’s not polished, but that's what makes it distinctive in the landscape of late '70s comedies.

This film has a certain scarcity in physical formats, with VHS copies being the most common find, while DVDs are notably rare. Collectors often discuss its unique charm, though it hasn't reached the same level of cult status as other comedies from the era. The lack of comprehensive distribution has turned it into a bit of a hidden gem among enthusiasts, sparking interest mainly from those who appreciate its offbeat humor and distinctive style.
