Luise is successful as a molecular biologist, despite being difficult and stubborn by nature. It's no wonder, then, that aside from her colleagues, only her own mother cares about her. But when she breaks the thumb of one of these colleagues after a dispute, she is sent early retirement. Furious, Luise packs up her belongings and leaves her office. But that does not mean that the tensions for the now 60-year-old are over.

A German comedy that is quite funny in the first half, mainly thanks to the caustic dialogues. Two opposing characters are put against each other in a nice and refined way. That works and translates into comical situations and dialogues. In the second half, the fun witty prelude gradually collapses. From that moment on, Miss Sixty develops more and more like an unlikely love story. As a result, the humor deteriorates and the film becomes a standard romantic comedy. With the emphasis on the word standard. And then you know.

Two great leading roles. Iris Berben as an intelligent, uncompromising older woman is very nice. The way she chain-smoking with other people is funny. Her co-star Edgar Selge represents a completely different attitude to life. He is someone who wants to stay young, loves green leaves and depicts this in a pleasantly loose way. Also very funny. It's not about the actors and their characters.

If you were to rate only the first half of the film, the rating would be high. But yes, the second part. In that second part, the film loses all its spontaneity and turns into a conventional standard work with a funny interlude here and there. The comic pit is gone. The exciting spark that was present between the characters also loses out in the weak and predictable film that Miss Sixty has become very quickly.
