In 2009, the romantic comedy Men in the City—literally, “men’s hearts” in German—drew over a million admissions to a domestic box office enamored by the genre. In this much-anticipated and equally breezy sequel to a story of six men and their interconnecting professional adventures and love lives, each man sees retreats and advances. The film’s instant success late in a banner year for local films proves that German comedy is here to stay.
Simon Verhoeven studied film directing at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. His previous features include 100 Pro (2001) and Men in the City (2009).
