Loved the film but to me it's weakest element was the part with cousin Topsi, it just was very blah and the song was the least enjoyable of the film. It's just as if the only reason they added that part to the film was to squeeze Meryl Streep in there.
shareYeah, it was quite useless.
I had forgotten about it until right now.
It was enjoyable.
shareThey go there to fix that pot but we never hear about the pot ever again..
shareThanks, I didn't feel too bad about this but you guys made me feel better. I had a mug of coffee before the film, because I would rather risk having to go to the bathroom than being tired. I ran out the instant Streep started to sing and back in just as the song finished, time, two minutes, a record for me, as the rest of the film was great and I didn't want to miss any.
shareNo worries, you picked the right time to go :)
shareI found her accent horrible, it kept disappearing during the song, and she used 3 different accents in the scene.There was Moscow, Eastern Russia, and Ukrainian accent all mish-moshed together. I speak only fair to middling Russian, and even I could pick them out.
Definitely weakened the movie as a whole.
