My Ex-Boyfriend's Wedding

Paula, a Berlin primary school teacher, receives a wedding invitation from the man who ended their relationship eight years ago. She decides to go, determined not to show weakness, and enlists her neighbor Ben to accompany her as if he were her fiance. What begins as a quiet social dare spirals into a weekend of awkward encounters, clashing families, and long buried memories. The plan to keep up appearances creates a string of comic misunderstandings as Paula tries to balance pride with the ache of the past. Set against a picturesque wedding circuit, the film keeps the tone light while exploring how memory shapes present choices. Ben's attempts to protect Paula create comic friction with fellow wedding guests.

Directed by Edzard Onneken for German television in 2006, this romance stars Suzan Anbeh, Janek Rieke, Tim Bergmann, Vera Baranyai and Matthias Klimsa. It appears to be based on an original teleplay.

As a TV movie, there was no theatrical release and no publicly reported box office figure. There is also no known home video release. No streaming deals or international release have been documented.

Audience reactions skewed negative, with a vote average of 2.333 out of 10 (3 votes) from a small pool of viewers, signaling limited enthusiasm. The film probes pride versus vulnerability, the pressure to present a perfect life, and how friendship can smooth the rough edges of heartbreak. Despite the light tone the film asks whether a person can move on while still carrying the residue of a first love.

The title has not left a notable mark on popular culture. Given its TV movie status and quiet release, it lacks memorable quotes or iconic scenes that would echo beyond its viewing audience. Its pacing leans toward gentle slapstick rather than sharp satire, reflecting conventional TV romance norms of its era.
