Hilfe, meine Mutter ist ein Werwolf

Typical hopeless trash by Pirro in combination with Fischa, another immigrant who, thanks to the insatiable video market with no requirements for quality, found a stable career in making questionable films. My Mom’s a Werewolf is mediocre, uninteresting drivel in which the most impressive thing is how long and vehemently the creative duo behind it can beat the dead horse of its premise. Only in the last quarter of an hour did they remembered that the film could actually be funny and thus switched to sitcom slapstick mode. However, that doesn’t make the whole thing some sort of comedy gem. But after all of the insipidness, the climax is actually entertaining, which simply no one would have expected. After getting taken at the video rental shop and taking this exercise in futility home, the viewer would actually be glad that it wasn’t entirely a complete waste of time. Especially with the help of the magical fast-forward button, whose use the filmmakers themselves may have counted on. (18.11.2022)
