One,Two,Three is on my Alltime Worst Ever List. Stunningly unfunny. Don't watch it if you don't want to get a headache from NOT laughing.

Then I can safely assume you never lived in Berlin at any time from 1948-1989, because if you had you would have found it hilarious.

I don't think that matters. I'm not judging it as an accurate portrayal of a specific time or place; I'm judging it as a movie that's not funny. I guess I just didn't think the following was really gut-busting material when I went through the ordeal of watching this:

[First line, voiceover] C.R. MacNamara: On Sunday, August 13th, 1961, the eyes of America were on the nation's capital, where Roger Maris was hitting home runs #44 and 45 against the Senators. On that same day, without any warning, the East German Communists sealed off the border between East and West Berlin. I only mention this to show the kind of people we're dealing with - REAL SHIFTY!"

"Otto: I will not have my son grow up to be a capitalist. Scarlet: When he's 18 he can make his mind up whether he wants to be a capitalist or a rich communist."

"Schlemmer recognizes the reporter Untermeyer (played by Til Kiwe)] Schlemmer: Herr Oberleutnant! C.R. MacNamara: You two know each other? Schlemmer: He was my commanding officer. C.R. MacNamara: In the subway? Schlemmer: No, after that, when I was drafted. C.R. MacNamara: Aha! Gestapo! Schlemmer: No, no, SS.

C.R. MacNamara: Ten minutes early! That's a hell of a way to run an airline! Planes are supposed to be late, not early!

Peripetchikoff: We have emergency meeting with Swiss Trade Delegation. They send us twenty car-loads of cheese. Totally unacceptable... full of holes.

(cough)
