Contrary to my expectations i liked the movie. For many recent years - it's the best that I have watched and enjoyed: the movie presents all the wonderful nature of such phenomena as the wedding and all that goes with it.Please, do not try to see and evaluate this movie through "civilized" eyes. In this case, you will see only drunken Russians, fights and all other stuff, inappropriate for "educated people": you'll be unable appreciate the gift that is hidden in the movie's ending. Spoiler: It is much like the "Wedding of Figaro": Love and Forgivness Win in the end. The newlyweds truly love and forgive each other, the papa finally respects his son-in-law and forgives the guy, who shot his leg. From superficial point of view all those Russians seem to be savages... So do not try to see, feel it, if you are still able of having fun and sincerity for it. All can not be expressed in such a short amount of words and it is not the goal. Just want to express my sheer joy and encourage you to view it personally. Big L wins!
