Mein Führer - Die wirklich wahrste Wahrheit über Adolf Hitler

2007 Director Dani Levy

In the last months of 1944 with the war as good as lost, Hitler needs to beef up his rhetoric and saves a Jewish actor from a concentration camp to help him with his public speaking.

This is German humour at its very worst. Although the concept has merit its execution is both crass and tasteless. Slapstick may have worked for Chaplin in "The Great Dictator" but fails miserably in this film. If you want to waste an evening wondering why you watched this film then this is for you. Avoid at all costs.
