Regular Guys is a 1996 German comedy. Christoph (Christoph M. Ohrtis) is a cop who gets drunk one night after his fiancee kicks him out. He winds up in a gay bar and later wakes up in bed with Edgar (Tim Bergmann), a cute mechanic, but not able to remember what, if anything, happened between them. After another series of sad sack misadventures, Christoph decides to take Edgar up on his offer of a place to stay. Of course, a “will they or won’t they” scenario develops as Christoph not only tries to hide that he’s living with a gay man (platonically) from his buddies on the police force, but also keeping Edgar out of jail when he discovers that Edgar is part of a stolen car ring being targeted by the force. A funny, enjoyable movie (despite having to keep up with the sub-titles).
