The quirky, overambitious pianist Andi (33) and the more laid back and relaxed Benno (36) have just one thing in common: They will both die soon. So the two of them decide after some trouble at the hospice, to have the most awesome day before it's too late. First thing is they need is money, which they cleverly scam, since going to prison is -considering the limited amount of time of the question. Then they set off for Africa! It will not only be a nightmare for Andi the hypochondriac, but also a huge deal for Benno, who will have to face his past for the first time in his life. The journey leads them through hazards, a number of comedic, tragic, dramatic and dangerous moments and finally to their original aspiration: The most awesome day of realizing that you need to take life into your own hands to not miss out on it...

The tried and tested duo of Florian and Matthias prove once again that they are a great comedy team. Their friendship entertains you, moves you, and even makes you think a little. I enjoyed the film, I wasn't bored with it, but I still expected the script to pull some bigger cards out of its sleeve, some more funny moments, and a more elaborate denouement. 3.5 stars.

A well-made comedy, which along with (for now) both parts of Suck Me Shakespeer ranks among the best pieces Germany has offered us recently. The funny scenes worked very well, as did the grim ones. More than one user has compared The Most Beautiful Day to Knockin' on Heaven's Door, so I decided to see that older film as well. Both films have something in common, and although The Most Beautiful Day borrows many motifs from Knocking, I found it more humorous and direct to the viewer. In short, a decently made film that has a likable cast and a good (albeit previously used) theme.

I wanted to congratulate the Germans for another decent comedy, but upon viewing I actually didn’t know if I was happy with the movie or not. Despite the humorous component of the movie it is actually pretty hard to be happy about a duo that strives to be like the established standard a la Bud Spencer vs. Terence Hill but in reality, they completely lack the hidden manly friendship.

If this were an original film, it would be a pleasant combination of comedy and tragedy, but unfortunately, it's not that original, simply because the Germans already made Knockin' on Heaven's Door twenty years ago. The starting point is the same, and the overall development is very similar. The Most Beautiful Day is still good, and Matthias Schweighöfer is becoming my favorite German actor.
