Very best movie i ever watch
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Modern Russian mainstream cinema is comparable with Bollywood. When they find they won't be able to sell the same trivial and vulgar stories once again, they steal or remake successful movies. And "Office Romance: Our Times" relates to the original Ryazanov film as the 1987 Indian "Superman" relates to the 1978 classic - "Superman: The Movie".The worst part is - rewriting the very same script, replacing "dated" situations and dialogue with "modern" cliché and stereotypes, which is supposed to sound "cool" and "familiar" to the modern public. The acting is really terrible too. Yet, money keeps flowing to horribly untalented Sarik Andreasian and he makes 4-5 films a year.Verdict - dangerous for your mental health. Though not as terrible as his other works.
Entrusting the direction of this film Saric Andreasyan, the creators of the project have gone on at risk, as previous picture Mugs not won successes and failures at the box office. However, it should be noted that this film looks much better than his debut. This was largely due to the presence of the creative studio 95 quarter from the Ukraine.The cast, many of which have met each other on the same ground, holding the bar. However, the script, though, is a remake of the famous movie by Eldar Ryazanov, 1977, is rather weak. But I should admit that the end is fascinating and involves going before the credits.In next films, I would like to see more band members of 95 quarter, since all of them pleasant to look at.
