"Stop behaving like nine-year-olds!"
This low-powered German Netflix teen coming-of-age comedy centres on the hapless butt-of-his-peers'-jokes loser Charly and his long-standing best friend Paula who - following a lightning strike - find they have the ability to have conversations with their sex-craving genitals! It seems to aim for somewhere between The Inbetweeners and American Pie but makes little impact through generally flat performances and writing, lacking both a breezy confidence and an ability to nail the more sensitive dramatic moments with any real success. Double standards, social media and the rumour mill are all touched on superficially as the film grinds along unconvincingly to its inevitable conclusion with little to entertain along the way.
