People who liked _Toni Erdmann_ are the ones who laughed while watching it, so it really depends on what tickles you and whether or not it does translate well for you (despite what people say, humour is **not** universal, especially the one with dialogue). My suggestion is to try and forget what the critics said and watch it with an open mind, there's many good things to be said about this movie, but also as much many not good things (runtime, for example).

I kind of identified with the father and his message, but maybe not with the method he chose to deliver that message, so it was kinda a hit or miss for me in most of the movie's big moments, and in the end I didn't feel like I took away anything of value when the credits started rolling.

In short: it's a weird movie... like, really weird.
