Hijinks ensue when an amateur filmmaker, financially reliant on video piracy, must reshoot all the movies from a film festival before time runs out.
Reviews
Sadly Over-hyped
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Every year Russia directs about 5-10 rip-offs of Hollywood movies. Even if they mostly "borrow" ideas of famous TV-shows, they do have the habit of borrowing complete movies as well.This one steals the premise of the Jack Black / Mos Def 2008 comedy "Be Kind Rewind".Take a funny premise, mix it with non-existent acting and incredibly stupid "jokes" (can't even call them that), add some Russian glamor and this is what you get.If you need a mental illness - watch this. Even watching a plant grow is much more entertaining than this.
