Arnold pays his call girl Isabella 30000 dollars to stop that job and work as actress, that is what she always wanted to do. When she has an audition in his play, the ménage à six starts.
Review: I wa not very motivated by that movie because the trailer told me that it was not my style. But well I had seen so many bad movies in the last two months, that I wanted to try something new. And I had also a good advice. The movie was in German and is not released in English in my town. But I watched it and this was a very nice evening. This vaudeville à la Feydeau is funny and very light. The stories and dialogues are often crazy but it is exactly this humour that makes the movie actually authentic and funny. Every one heard this kind of dialogues in his private life. Or imagined that somebody would say that in some situation. But there are so many things happening that the dialogues are short and there is nothing much more original than daily life. It is almost like a good Woody Allen without the charm of Woody's original dialogues. The acting is very good. Aniston is hardly recognisable but amazing. Imogen Potts is excellent after her remarkable Filth and Long way down. This woman has a brilliant future in front of her!
