Cast

Critical reception

The film earned mostly negative reviews from film critics. German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung described it as an "embarrassing parade of celebrities", "[...] Til Schweiger has got both the critics and the press to hate him for this film. Not without reason. [...] The film is just as lame as its trailer".[1] TV Movie.de wrote, "If the jokes were better and went beyond adolescent humor, it would become a real comedy".[2] Cinefacts.de added that "Til [Schweiger] once again tried in the comedy genre, but that, unlike his previous films Barfuss and Keinohrhasen, it lacks gags".[3] Dorit Koch from General Anzeiger Bonn wrote "Though the film lacks good gags, the famous cast will attract the audience".[4] Cinema.de described the film as a "shallow medieval farce with a few funny ideas".[5] "Til Schweiger directs and stars in his middle age film with childish jokes and Monty Python style. You can try to find it funny, but you won't", the Welt wrote.[6]

Music

The 1+1⁄2 Knights – In Search of the Ravishing Princess Herzelinde soundtrack album was released through the Interscope Records on 19 December 2008, and includes the song "Walta Sattla", performed by Til Schweiger.[7] In the review of the album, the Bild wrote that "unlike the film itself, the soundtrack is just beautiful, not a funny parade".[7]
