A lovely film!!!
Generally speaking the film is even better than the original one.
All the actors are great except Boyarskaya who has the same expression on her face throughout the movie.
It's a pity that the old actors look dull and miserable in company of the young, bright and talented actors but this is what the life is.
Regardless I am sure it will be a new tradition watching this movie New Year time along with the original one.
