TERRIBLE movie. Maybe it's because i'm Asian and don't understand the European culture.But i do think that movie should be universally engaging to audiences.
The story itself is flawed. A big major flaw. An old guy trying to foster a closer relationship with his successful daughter and he dresses up as a his alter ego Toni Erdmann, an irritating person with false teeth and toupee and irritates the hell out of his daughter by disturbing her wherever she goes. How can he hope to achieve his win his daughter's heart by irritating her so much? Why should the daughter play along with his childish persona?If i were his daughter i would distance myself from 'Toni Erdmann" even more so.
Please believe me when i say that this is the worst 3 long hours . Watch it at your own risk.
