Mann Filmreihe

These two films follow the romantic struggles of Paul and Patrick. **First Film:** Paul is in love with a married woman. With help from his friends, he devises a plan to win her affection in a lighthearted, comedic manner. **Second Film:** Paul becomes the object of pursuit by Lena, whose family prefers her ex-boyfriend, Patrick. The film has dramatic overtones as Paul competes for Lena's love against the affluent Patrick. Both films explore complex romantic relationships, with the first film featuring comedic elements and an ensemble cast including Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade. The second film takes a more serious tone, focusing on Paul's internal struggle and the dynamics with Lena's family, starring Jesse Plemons and Riley Keough. While both films revolve around romantic trials, they use distinct styles and tones to convey their unique perspectives on love and friendship.
