Bitter! 2. I didn't like the first movie very much. It's a typical "vatnik" comedy. There's a lot of the beautiful and clever Yulia Aleksandrova; she knows how to act in films with an unchanging facial expression: "You're all losers, and I'm in a wedding dress." At first, you watch her with interest, but after 15 minutes, you start to get tired of it; it's like watching a mannequin. Plus, Svetlakov is terribly predictable. You already know exactly what he's going to do – he's going to fall to the floor, he's going to start kicking his legs... I was dragged to the second part with great reluctance. I was ready to tear it apart with poisonous comments, but around the twentieth minute, I realized that I didn't want to do that. First, the roles in the second part are evenly distributed among all the actors, and it turned out that the cast was quite good – Yan Tsapnik, Elena Valyushkina, Vasily Kartukov, Alexander Robak. Secondly, there's a healthy dose of madness in what's happening. The scene with the funeral finally killed me – the fairytale landscapes, the Cossack choir... and an ARMORED PERSONNEL CARRIER. I didn't expect that. It was the last showing, it was a holiday, and the hall was full. When the last chords of "Not for Me" sounded, the hall, which had been crunching chips until then, erupted in applause. The last time I saw something like that was 25 years ago, when I watched the premiere of "Ace." There was a little bit of Svetlakov, and a little bit of Yulia Aleksandrova. An undeniable hit. I highly recommend it; you'll enjoy watching it as much as you enjoyed "Garage" or "I.V. Changes Professions." 8 out of 10.
