In the Russian box office, the release of the next part of the “Christmas Tree” was released. Already the ninth in a row.
Ivan Urgant, Sergey Svetlakov and Dmitry Nagiev. The star line-up is a little delayed, but the Bazelevs studio does not even think about stopping because of this.
What, you thought we were going to bypass it? No matter how. We have already reviewed the novelty and are in a hurry to share our impressions.
Four short stories, four common destinies
From year to year, the Yolki franchise contains various small novels that somehow intertwine and beat another New Year’s miracle.
This year, Evgeny Kulik became the screenwriter and producer of the films. If so, here he is.
I can not say whether the novelty of the previous parts is better or not. In recent years, we have approximately the same level – short.
What is the movie about: A few hours before the holiday, everyone with bated breath hopes for a miracle. The whole village of Glukharevo will surely welcome a foreign movie star, namely Jackie Chan, in a big way.
In Tyumen, a housewife and the nearest blogger need the presence of a bet with her husband. In Yekaterinburg, a lovesick roleplayer is torn between family happiness and epic adventures. In St. Petersburg, the girl, along with the long-awaited marriage proposal, knows that her fiancé was a fraudster.
As always, the fate of the heroes unexpectedly intertwines and acquires its own part of the New Year’s magic.
In terms of structure, the film is no different from its supporters. This is connected with the story associated with the meeting for the holiday and the New Year’s miracle.
All stories in one way or another contain modern problems and make fun of them. For example, Katya, a lawyer’s assistant, knows that her boyfriend is a swindler, Larisa, a pensioner, is trying to become an author, and a blogger comes to the village fake jackie chan.
But, of course, everyone will go to this movie for the sake of Fyodor Dobronravov, paid a lot of attention in one of the short stories. This actor fell in love with the Russian audience and has already become “his”. But the picture does not go in cycles on it, it is present in the plot and has a high degree of reliability. For example, Alexey Serebryakov.
True, if Dobronravov feels himself in his place, then Serebryakov obviously had a hard time shooting. He shows everyone that he does not understand what he is doing here.
In general, it is clear that the stars have gathered here for the sake of inviting TV shows. But they failed to give sensible formations, therefore, those almost always played by himself or favorite images from other films.
The result was a mess, sort of, with a coherent (not without millions of cases of holes) plot, in which there are other microplots from other films. A kind of porridge and a hodgepodge of everything that is not replete with references, but simply absorbs them in the environment. Stupid, naive and inherently wrong.
We are not subject to some smart cinema, but the content is simply cute and rare stories of rare people. As for the festivity and sea smiles, there are no questions – everything is as it should be. But you can and should find fault with rest.
After all, the stories themselves are inherently not bad, but they are played out to a sufficient extent, or in an idiotic way that one does not want to believe in them. And the laughter of the uprising is not humor itself, but the presentation of materials and the logic of action actions.
Visually normal, but not enough
There are also many questions to be asked, but they fade into the background. All in all, it looks okay for a movie type selection.
Operators do not stand out from the background of all. There are no impressive shots here, there is nothing unusual. Everything is filmed as a whole, and the authors do not even repeat to move away from them a single step.
There are no memorable soundtracks either. And in the background it constantly sounds or flickers advertisement for a new product. Traditionally, his camera in frames is large so that the viewer can see and hear the name of the brand. The source of funding is understandable.
The picture is the only good part of the movie. The rest is at an extremely passable level. Yes, this part is a better alternative, but overall it works on the same immediate level as other movie franchises.
You can’t watch, but you’ll go anyway
People go and will go to the film for the sake of the star cast and New Year’s mood. This is “Yolki”.
This is the same already traditional picture as “The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath” – without it, a holiday in Russia will no longer be found. Everyone makes an effort for himself.
