Band 2 des SPIEGEL-Bestsellers Man ist ja Nachbar: Ralf Prange ist zurück! Die Hausgemeinschaft in Barmbek-Süd steht Kopf: Die Mietwohnungen werden in Eigentum umgewandelt. Pranges neuer Vermieter, das Grinsegesicht, nervt mit Wohnungsbegehungen; da bleibt kaum noch Zeit für das Feierabendbierchen mit Paketmann Micki. Auch, weil Neu-Freundin Dörte sich im einstigen Junggesellenparadies breit macht, das Fernsehprogramm bestimmt und Prange mit zu Pärchenabenden bei den Kapellas aus dem dritten Stock schleppt. Und plötzlich ist auch noch der Fernsehmann verschwunden.

Erinnern Sie sich noch? Die anstrengenden Urlaubsreisen ins Gelobte Land jenseits der Alpen. Morgens um fünf ging es los, eingepfercht auf der Rückbank des bis unters Dach beladenen Ford Sierra. 15 Stunden Fahrt ohne Klimaanlage und Smartphone, dafür mit "Ich sehe was, was du nicht siehst". Und im Urlaubsparadies wurden Pizza und Espresso misstrauisch beäugt.

Ralf Prange, Mitte 50, alleinstehend, ist der postalische Wunschnachbar im Rotklinkerbau in Barmbek-Süd. Einen wie ihn gibt es in jedem Haus, und doch ist Prange als personifizierte Paket-, Gerüchte- und Sorgenannahmestelle einzigartig: Er ist die gute Seele und Nervensäge der Nachbarschaft; schrullig, spießig, etwas einsam, neugierig, manchmal übergriffig, in jedem Fall aber mit dem Herzen am rechten Fleck und sehr gewissenhaft, was die ihm übertragene Verantwortung angeht.

Die Hausfrau heutzutage ist auch nicht mehr das, was sie mal war. Da werden nur noch Tiefkühlpizzen aufgewärmt und wie man Fenster richtig putzt, das weiß keine. Ganz im Gegensatz zu unserer Online-Omi: "Ich schamponiere gerade die Teppichfransen ein, damit sie wieder schön weiß werden. Derweil der Schaum einzieht, mache ich mal den Hefeteig." Und: "Ein Stich Butter muss immer ran ans Gemüse, sonst kann der Körper die Fittamine gar nicht verarbeiten."

A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).
