"Werner - Gekotzt wird später!" is the fourth installment in the Werner franchise of so far 5 and came out 13 years after the very first. Just like parts 2 and 3 it is entirely animation again. I have to say I enjoyed this film, just like the previous installments, except the first, which is better than all the sequels, but the humor is vulgar (nudity, feces, vomit) and hit or miss from start to finish, so you will probably end up loving or hating this film. It may be not too easy to see artistic creativity and talent in there, but I did, especially in the dialogs. Not much in-between love and hate though. It runs for less than 80 minutes, also about the same like the films 2 and 3. Its directors Werner Schaack and Toby Genkel worked on the previous Werner films as well and is written again by the Feldmann brothers Rötger and Andi. On a side-note, Genkel directed the Dieter Bohlen film 3 years later. Here he still makes fun of him in one scene.
The beginning features Charles Trenet's song "La Mer" and is equally harmonic as the the third movie. The gang plans to stay away from work for a while and goes on a trip to Corsica instead. You could say that it stole a bit from the very first film as we get another 9-minute football opening sequence, which is fairly funny though again. Mrs. Hansen, one of my favorites from Werner movie one is included shortly again as well. The cast features Lilo Wanders again, the late Otto Sander as narrator and Heinz Schenk, who is quite a legend in Germany.
Werner becomes king of the gang and the other two becomes his servants (but the crown shifts quickly). Eckat's morning routine was one of my favorite moments. The guys steal a car and, of course, crash it quickly. Meanwhile, Meister Röhrich, still my favorite character from the franchise, is left alone at work, but quickly recruits a new trainee, who has nothing to do with plumbing and is as blind as they come, but still is not as clueless as Röhrich. Sp another apartment ends up completely destroyed just like everything that Röhrich touches. Another funny part is how Eckat keeps becoming "unnormal" again and beer works to make him "normal" again and give up his attempts on returning home to work. instead the crown keeps switching its owner.
This film, which has even more beer references than the previous installments and a closing credits song who is one of the finest from the whole series, is also interesting to watch for all the different people from German regions: Bavarians, Hessians, Northern Germans. My rating for it is 6, just like the number on all these dices. I recommend watching it, but you may go for the very first film instead as well to get to know the characters.
