RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

frederick-schulz This is the worst movie ever. 1/10 stars. Worth seeing for everyone who loves bad movies.

oyesusanne The star of this movie, Daniel Küblböck, took part in the first ever season of the German version of American Idol. He managed to gain some popularity due to his androgynous look and quirky personality. He later took part in the German version of "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!" and by now has faded into relative obscurity, but not before leaving us this tremendous achievement of bad movie making.The rough plot of this movie goes like this: Daniel is at the height of his popularity, giving large concerts and receiving dozens of fan letters every day. However, many others hate him and his music. His worst hater is a ridiculously edgy guy called Balthasar, who is planning an assassination together with a teenage couple (Tom and Rike). Meanwhile, Daniel is visited by a mysterious one-armed magician figure (played by the director, Ulli Lommel), who tells him that in order to become a magician himself, there are several tests he will have to pass...Now, where do we start? The beginning of the movie (and several later scenes) show Daniel performing live, but his horrible singing, dancing and his ridiculous outfits quickly become hard to stomach. Speaking of ridiculous outfits, I should mention that the evil killer Balthasar wears a red leather trench coat and has upside-down crosses branded on the back of his head[!]. Judging from the bad image quality, lighting and constant shaking, the movie seems to have been largely filmed on a hand-held camcorder. Adding to the "charm" of the movie are some of the exciting locations: Küblböck's living room, the forest and meadow next to his house, a concert hall and the small apartment of the murderous conspirators. The production values are roughly comparable to the home movie project of a sixth grader. The true "highlight" of the movie however are the bizarre dialogues and the general ludicrous and nonsensical way the plot goes forward. It's hard to describe and really has to be seen to be believed.Overall, this might be the worst movie I've ever seen, but I can't say that I haven't been somewhat entertained. If you want to take the dive and watch one of the titans of trash, I think you wouldn't regret it.

xanderlavelle Well, what can I say? A friend of mine an me we are a huge fan of trash movies and we have really fun of watching these kind of movies. So of course we also came across this item. We were really looking forward to this because we assumed a lot of funny passages but even with our expectations set as low as they could get while watching this movie it got down under... This 80 minutes movie is pure terror. You cannot even have a laugh about it and you first realize how terrible this movie really is after you have finished it. It is leaves you with the feeling after watching a deep blue drama just without the empathy and tears. Well, I really warn you about watching this piece of junk. The camera is the worst kind of recording I ever came across, Daniel Küblböck sings the worst songs I have ever heard (and it is not hard to guess, that he wrote the songs himself)- low light "Teenage tears" - and the script is so lacking of any talent that you really hate everybody who has something to do with this movie.I may say that I give everybody a chance, but after this movie Daniel deserves the hatred he gets. He is causing it himself. None of the characters is a tiny bit sympathetic and every minute passing by seems like forever. And nobody has any talent to act. It is also the longest movie I have ever seen.Another thing is that this movie is called Daniel - Der Zauberer (German for magician). Well, there is just now and then a reference to a magician but he never is one. Would it be an intelligent movie, i would guess Daniel would be an imaginary magician and his music is sort of the magic, but due to the fact that this movie is not a slightly bit of intelligent it just cannot be.This movie is a slap into the face of the movie industry. How could anybody allow this to happen in the first place?! DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE! I would categorize it as horror or psycho terror. There is no Comedy, Fantasy or Crime in it - well crime is only the fact it has been produced.... I'm done...

ChristophAndre In few words: This movie simply sucks. To be frank it's probably the worst movie I've ever seen.There are huge problems with the concept of the story. Some might argue about the (non existing) abilities of Daniel Kübelbock as an actor. However you could imagine a story with Daniel Kübelbock playing himself in a self ironic way and some kind of trash factor supporting the rest of the story. Now Daniel Kübelblock is actually playing himself and the whole story is trash (if you would look at it from that point of view, actually more points could be given), however the film -I actually searched on several pages on the Internet to confirm this, cause I didn't believe it after I first watched the movie- wants to give its viewers a serious message and is determined to be considered as art. I would call this movie "Entartete Kunst" if the Nazis hadn't already used this term for their evil purposes. Still doing it in spite of this is quite tempting.Most of the other actors are better than Kübelbock, still they are far below average to say it in a friendly way. Quite amusing are the sociolects (in particular indicating uneducated and unemployed people) and jargons (representing a high consume of the German mass media culture) several actors are using. There are several slips of the tongue as well in some quite simple sentences. It really adds a lot to the already great trash feeling this movie provides.
