Too much of everything
The Worst Film Ever
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
"Drei Schwedinnen in Oberbayern" or "3 Sexy Girls in Tirol" (and yes interestingly enough, some countries moved the protagonists from Bavaria to Austria) is a German film from the 1970s, so this one has its 40th anniversary now. If you read the names of Rothemund and Tomek who made this and if you know a bit about German film, then you will know what to expect here: yes this is another 90-minute sex comedy and those were really frequent around that time. And from many perspectives, this one here is as garbage as the others. This includes acting, "plot", production values and a lot more. But the one reason why I would not call this film a failure and why it is somewhat watchable at times is that it never takes itself seriously and occasionally succeeds in the only genre it wants to succeed: the comedy. And maybe it even turns on some people who are into blondes. I myself clearly prefer brunettes and as Swedes are usually are blonde, it's a natural disadvantage to me looking at this film. But that's just subjective and nobody should be punished for it. So yes, this film has a bit of guilty pleasure potential to be honest. It is extremely over the top, but not only in a really bad way as this approach makes also some of the jokes and punchlines work. This is for example better than most Schulmädchen films as there is absolutely nothing pseudo and nothing pretentious to it here and the fun the actors were obviously having makes the joy contagious at times. Really known cast members you won't find any in here. Maybe Fux comes the closest to that. But don't mistake my slight praise for a recommendation here. It's really only better than some similar films from 1970's Germany because those were truly horrible, not because this one here is any good. I give it a thumbs-down overall and suggest you skip it as a whole.
