Schmirinski's: Feriengrüsse aus Saint Tropez
Nov 12 2008
•Comedy
Is it Trapez or Tropez? Such harmless misunderstandings quickly escalate into complete chaos. And all because the Schmirinskis show up for a cruise on the Riviera. The Swiss TV darlings of 1999 have once again come up with a wealth of slapstick for their second feature-length and side-splitting "holiday video" – and transformed themselves into a myriad of quirky holiday guests. From the bumbling crook duo to the hard-of-hearing pensioners to the dim-witted pirates, they've got it all. Despite all the slapstick, Schmidi and René know how to make a first-class travel film: with wonderful Mediterranean weather, snapshots of the chocolate-box sides of Cannes, Saint-Tropez, and Corsica, a dream cruise ship – and, to top it all off, a crazy lap of the Formula 1 race track in Monte Carlo! But even before that, your hair stands on end...

Schmirinski's: Schweizerlacher
Oh dear, the Schmirinskis are looking back. Can that end well? Because anyone who knows them (and who doesn't?) knows that Stefan "Schmidi" Schmidlin and René Rindlisbacher can't even agree on two sentences here. But for once, they should both agree: the almost 70-minute cross-section of a good 10 years of Schmirinski's comical work is simply the best. Take, for example, their early TV appearance in Tell-Star in 1991, which already demonstrated all the hallmarks of their multifunctional humor – slapstick, wordplay, and acrobatics that border on artistic gymnastics. Or their celebrity parodies, which don't even spare "sacred" colleagues such as Don Marcocello or Kliby. Not to mention their hair-raising sports stunts, with which the two shocked the TV audience of "Top of Switzerland."
