what is the appeal?
I seriously would like to know why this film is so appealing to so many people.
I've watched many Russian movies, mostly on recommendations from Russian friends, and this is the one that I can say I enjoyed least. But it is clearly beloved by Russian people and others judging by the comments here.
I appreciate the joke of the guy ending up in another apartment with the same address in another city but can't figure out how that justifies the length of the film. To me it seems to drag on forever.
Maybe part of it is that I don't see how someone who acts as such a complete jerk deserves the love of the woman he intruded upon. Also, why does his original fiance get the short end of the stick (though considering what an ahole he is maybe she really comes out on top).
Thanks in advance for enlightening me,
Ken
