This starts off rather unpromisingly as we see a man leaving the hotel room of "Harry" (Matthew Morrison) after a chat-free random hook up. Unsated, he heads to a club where he meets "Johannes" (Alexandros Koutsoulis) and the two hit it off. It's been a two-day bender for the former man and when his flight home to London is pulled forward, he's in need of some help to print off his boarding pass. His new friend offers to help him to find an internet café and as the two men then still have some time to spare, they spend the day together exploring, chatting, eating and generally getting to know one anther in quite an engaging fashion which we share. There is actually a semblance of chemistry between these actors that I found worth the watch for 75 minutes as their characters develop. (OK, and there's a wee bit of not at all graphic sex too!). A bit of effort has gone into the (maybe a bit too plentiful) dialogue and though it doesn't always hit the mark, the delivery and ease of the pair with each other helps nudge this just a bit north of the mediocrity bar. Some nice photography of Berlin does it no harm either, and though I'll admit I won't recall it in a fortnight, it was an easy watch.
