Steffi's life couldn't be better: she’s young, has just bagged her school certificate and is looking forward to starting a prospective apprenticeship. She would like to celebrate leaving school with a trip to Paris with her classmates and friend Fabi. But just before she leaves, she receives a devastating diagnosis: the 16-year-old has cancer – and she doesn't have long left to live. Her parents Eva and Frank are shaken by the revelation and don’t want to let their daughter go to France. Right at this very moment, the penniless circus artist Steve enters Steffi's life and offers to take her to Paris. They set off on an adventurous road trip with Steffi's parents hot on their heels. Director André Erkau’s Gott, du kannst ein Arsch sein! is a humorous coming-of-age drama. The German star cast sees Til Schweiger and Heike Makatsch play alongside the Swiss actor Max Hubacher.

In the end, it was surprisingly good. And that's mainly because the filmmakers did a great job lightening up something that is perhaps one of the most difficult subjects to put on film. The development of the parents' behavior is admittedly pretty unrealistic, but so be it, they were a lot of fun afterwards. But the main plus of the film definitely remains the main couple, they had great chemistry. What’s more, Sinje Irslinger is an interesting, fresh (at least for me) actress who feels like someone completely different in almost every scene.

There have already been quite a few films about seriously ill young people dying and coping with more or less sudden upheavals in life (The Fault in Our Stars, Love and Other Drugs, This Crazy Heart, etc.), so in this respect God, You're Such a Prick doesn't bring anything new to the table, and therefore it has to rely on the cast and building atmosphere, which didn't always work. The film works with both a serious and humorous note, and the transitions between the two succeed for the most part, but not always – for instance, the character of the mother and her inconsistent behaviour. However, I found the leading couple extremely likeable and was very impressed by the sequence with Jasmin Gerat. Last but not least, I must mention the lovely soundtrack. Better three stars!
