Der Verrückte von Labor 4

There is an interesting concept here - a gas that fundamentally changes human mood is an idea that could lead to a lot of tricky situations and offered many possibilities. Unfortunately, the screenwriter handled it in the most banal way, so a run-of-the-mill comedy was created, into which the creators put everything they thought could attract the audience. We have a crazy inventor, a group of gangsters who want to steal his invention, chases and fights in the style of old slapsticks, a Wild West town, a charming beauty who falls in love with the main character, etc. There is simply nothing here that would make this film outstanding, and because the humor is so barren and the story resigns on having any logic, the only reason to revisit the film today is Jean Lefebvre in the lead role. Overall impression: 40%. (01.03.2009)
