Wie man einem Wal den Backenzahn zieht

Vielleicht ein bisschen kindischer als Wie man den Vater in die Besserungsanstalt bekommt, aber trotzdem herrscht immer noch diese lockere Stimmung, die vor allem durch den Sprüche klopfenden Tomas Holý erzeugt wird. Der männlich synchronisierte Vlastík Harapes beeindruckt mich jedes Mal. Der Witz ist ungewollt, aber trotzdem gut. Ein Klassiker im Genre der Familienkomödie, und das zu Recht. (11.12.2005)

A nice romantic comedy with a roguish guy on top of it all, sprinkled with drama where relationships get clarified. I always like watching this stuff, not only does it flow nicely but you have a lot of fun with it. For me, a classic Czech children’s film for the whole family (as everyone in the family will find something different in it). It's a shame not to see this, plus it's followed by a great sequel! For me, this is an ageless classic that takes me back to my childhood years. (29.12.2015)

I didn't find this Czech classic that great and I give it four stars only for a few funny scenes and mainly for the great Tomáš Holý. Artists like him shouldn't die at all, let alone at such a young age. (25.04.2011)

Tomáš Holý was so endearing, so immediate and so great, that films with him simply have to pull you in. Moreover, his chemistry with František Němec is simply great. Even though the script by Marie Poledňáková is sometimes a bit awkward and some scenes are mechanical, the actors handle them well and the film caresses the soul. (26.12.2017)
