Not My Day (Nicht mein Tag) is a German comedy film that was released in 2014. It is directed by Peter Thorwarth and stars Moritz J. Bleibtreu, Axel Stein, Jasmin Gerat, Anna Maria Muhe, and Nele Kiper.

The movie follows the story of Till Reiners (Bleibtreu), a bank teller who is dissatisfied with his life. He is unhappy with his job and feels stuck in a rut. One day, Till decides to break out of his routine and do something spontaneous. He robs a bank! But his plan quickly goes awry when he realizes that he has accidentally kidnapped Nappo (Stein), a taxi driver who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Till and Nappo are complete opposites. Till is reserved and cautious while Nappo is outgoing and impulsive. However, they quickly bond over their shared predicament and set out to evade the police, who are hot on their trail. Along the way, they encounter a variety of characters, including a group of hippie-like activists, led by Jasmin Gerat's character, and Till's ex-girlfriend (Muhe).

What ensues is a hilarious series of misadventures, as Till and Nappo try to stay one step ahead of the law while also trying to understand each other better. Their journey takes them from the city to the countryside and even to a music festival. Along the way, they learn important lessons about life, love, and friendship.

The film is a fun and entertaining comedy that keeps audiences laughing from start to finish. The chemistry between Bleibtreu and Stein is excellent, and their banter is both witty and endearing. The supporting cast also delivers strong performances, particularly Gerat, who adds a quirky energy to the film.

The movie's pacing is spot on, with the action and humor balanced perfectly. The cinematography is also well done, with some beautiful shots of the German countryside. The soundtrack features an eclectic mix of music, which adds to the fun and energetic vibe of the film.

Overall, Not My Day is a must-watch for fans of German cinema or anyone looking for a good laugh. It is a feel-good movie that will leave you with a smile on your face long after the credits roll.
