Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A "Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears" of today
The struggle between the inteligencia and the average people in a rapidly-changing society is one of many themes of this movie. If "Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears" shows how life was during the years of stagnation (70s), this movie shows the life right after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Nicely set in St. Petersburg in the early 90s, when the Soviet Union has just collapsed, it depicts how life really was during those first few hard years - the transition from socialism to capitalism.

Rating:  - Great Foreign Film!
This is one of the best foreign films I have ever seen! The plot is magical, yet not in a corny or fairy-tale type way. Taking place in the '60s, It's hilarious to see what a Russian man and his friends do when- you guessed it- they find a window that leads to Paris. Also funny when the poor french woman goes into russia through the window, chasing the people who are causing havoc, and she is trapped there. Great story, Great movie!
Rating: - great comedy
I saw this movie twice and then a week later I rented it again
and saw it twice again. The acting is good everybody does a good
job in the smallest role. Reminded me of "Bringing Up Baby".
This movie is better. I didn't know russians made such funny mov-
ies. I am going to rent more russian comedies.

Rating: - Hysterical Cultural Witticism
When a family of simple Soviets find a magical window to Paris the fun begins! The cross-cultural perspectives and mis-en-scene jokes ar every funny, and hysterical for those who know anything about Parisian and Russian stereotypes. What makes the scripting so magical is that each character is acting entirely natural- in the context of his or her culture. But put in a foreign reality the differences lead to more than a few wild adventures and faux-pas. Not for the overly-stern, for this film will bust ... Read More
