![]() ![]() Of course, Mueller finds himself teaching a class that's full of horrible teenage monsters indeed, who devise booby traps that have nothing on the work of seasoned special-ops soldiers. Nevermind that Zeki has no teaching certificate or any accurate knowledge of German (his mangling of the correct gender and cases is a running gag). In order to get regular access to the school's basement, from where he hopes to drill a tunnel to his spoils, Zeki takes on a job as a substitute teacher offered to him by the prim principal ( Katja Riemann, in a delicious cameo), who is one teacher short after one of her staff ( Uschi Glas ) had been so painted by her students, she jumped from a second-floor window, shouting “They're all monsters!” Zeki Mueller (M'Barek) was in jail for 13 months, just enough time for Goethe High to construct a new gym on the exact spot where Zeki's stripper friend, Charlie ( Jana Pallaske ), buried his loot.

But the rapid-fire dialogue, the amusingly over-the-top acting and antics, and the great chemistry of M'Barek and female lead Karoline Herfurth (reunited after 2001's hit comedy Girls on Top ) ensure audiences will nonetheless have a pretty good time.
