Can I Be Your Bratwurst, Please? (2000)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

hyped garbage

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

"Can I Be Your Bratwurst, Please?" is a German English-language movie from 1999, so this one will soon have its 20th anniversary. The director and one of the writers is Rosa von Praunheim, a Latvian filmmaker who has been known for decades now for his absolutely non-mainstream works for German cinema. His films have usual not much of a chronology or leitmotif, but are very much experimental from start to finish. And this one here, even at under 30 minutes is no exception. It also includes, as the title already states, sexual references all the time, some heterosexual stuff, some homosexual stuff and this is also what von Praunheim is known for. However, for my personal taste this film lacked credibility and order and if there is any reason at all to watch it, it is the general awkwardness. And maybe actress Luzi Kryn (von Praunheim's muse somehow) shortly before her death. But the script and acting simply aren't good enough to let me recommend it. I myself am glad it was that short. Thumbs down.

A campy, stylized ode to play(ing). The acting is rich and tasty. Everything about this work is wonderfully delightful. The cabbie of the stars has so many great lines I couldn't keep count. (A video/DVD rendering should be ok, so hopefully one will appear.)

I saw this on TV and was drawn to it only because of the obvious: a chance to see whether porn 'actor' Jeff Stryker can actually 'act'. And, oh yeah, I was also hoping his best asset - his famous penis - would get a chance to act too!Well, this short film desperately wants to be a John Waters-styled comedy and it fails. Yet at the same time it is strangely compelling; probably because of how bad it actually is. Unfortunately Stryker's acting is 'stiff':

Jeff Stryker's 'bratwurst' is tickling everybody's fancy. All the guests at a Hollywood hotel have all sorts of fantasies set in motion at the sight of Jeff. We have a Marilyn Monroe look-a-like, a leather-man with a little white dog and the hotel-owner's mother all craving for Jeff's flesh, but the ultimate fantasy is played out at the Christmas dinner table.Can I Be Your Bratwurst is a very funny short. Rosa von Praunheim knows how to make a film work and this time it's fun.
