This is a run of the mill romantic comedy with very few funny moments. It´s major plus is that it inspired me to watch the original Russian movie from 1975. I will make a separate comment on that movie, but suffice it to say it was much better than this one.
In defense of the director and writers, it is clear from comparing the two movies that modern comedy has it´s hands tied behind it´s back because there are so many things that are no longer considered appropriate for comedy in a woke agenda. So it is very hard to produce a comedy that deserves more than a luke-warm review. Hence my rating of 5 stars.
Technically it seemed fine. The general level of acting was like the movie, unimpressive. So my recommendation would be to give this one a miss and watch the original instead.
