Ah, the good old Kotflut! Still the rude choice of choice when a comedy prefers to put on a tie-lobe for its viewers rather than work with a slightly more appetizing sense of humor. And so staged the 27-year-old, intrigierfreudige son just a large-scale smeared digestive and Verauungsbebelel in the Gästeklo, which he then attaches to the new acquaintance of his mother to make the possible troublemaker effectively gräßig him once and for all from the so comfortable padded life to urge mom.

"The Nesthocker," the story of a reluctant child-grown adult who desperately wants his mother to be alone and sabotages any attempt at timid initiation of love, could be a nice, harmless comedy - you did not feel so superior to your main characters that, cleverly It is difficult to develop serious sympathies for them.

Dümmlingfrau Tina (Carin C. Tietze) does not even notice the most kumholzigsten maneuvers of her offspring and umgluckt him with provocative simplicity. For example, when the son lets himself roughly plod in the date between the two Schmusewilligen to mischievously unpleasant committed to his mother. Single single Armin, the flimsy draftsman (Francis Fulton Smith), taps at the courtship of Tina innocently in each of the obvious traps, which places him the malicious son Hendrik - who in turn learns after nasty intrigues suddenly an inexplicable fall conversion.

ARD movie: Mom is the best

After all, admits the screenplay Hendrik actor Florentin Will (Rocket Beans presenter and "Neo-Magazine-Royale" -mitstreiter, which seems rather out of place in this Schmonzumfeld) in contrast to his fellow actors still a second character facet. Whether that will be enough to attract young viewers to the staid ARD primetime comedy, as those responsible with the cast probably had in mind, one may confidently doubt.

Disasters with announcements

In sly comedies, the appeal may lie in the dramaturgical gimmick that one sees an imminent catastrophe from afar and then enjoy the elaborate, imaginative unfolding of the mess. However, when Tina proudly presents her rose cultivation on Achim's first visit, she says that in a few days a delegation of the Rosebug Association would come to see her, a very important date that she has been looking forward to for ages - then you really should never see a simple Klamaukserie not to know that the lovingly pimped flowers will probably not live this day.

Only the twist around a smartwatch can be surprising, because such devices as a dramaturgical vehicle are of course not as extensively gushed through as the above-mentioned digestive dramas.

For the action, which can be foreseen, there is a game overfed in places, which sometimes over-subscribes the scenes. When Armin is shattered, admiring, fearful, he is so mimicking that even the most shortsighted theatergoer in Series 20 should be able to read his emotions.
