Sechs auf See (2000, Germany)

A pretty terrible comedy in which Volker Heißmann and Martin Rassau play three parts each -- the six people who go on a luxury cruise as a lottery prize. The two performers are famous and very popular in Franconia ("Franken", the German province immediately north of Bavaria) and this film is merely a vehicle for their sketches.

The two widows Waltraud and Mariechen are too awful (and improbable) to think about.

And when they check in at the airport, the "Check-in Dame" is played by Marcel Gasde.

There is also a couple, Georg and Anneliese Kaltengruber, pretty much lacking in any of the finer senses.
