Criticism
The film received mixed reviews from film critics. Garik Kharlamov’s good play in humorous scenes was noted, but at the same time, according to critics, he showed himself extremely poorly in dramatic and emotional elements:
As for a hochmach and a prankster there are absolutely no complaints against him [Kharlamov] - his ability to make people laugh is well-known and is beyond doubt. But Garik manages to cope with other aspects of acting images poorly. Not too convincing he turns out to be a cynic, chopping off a pensioner’s house and apartment, and in romantic scenes he lacks some sincerity and ordinary down-to-earth love, in a tragic scene with his father, Garik is completely terrible.
- Evgeny Ukhov [4]
The critics called the main advantage of the film an unusually high-quality and sensible scenario for Russian entertainment cinema:
All storylines are harmoniously combined and successfully resolved in the finale; there is nothing superfluous in this story, but it is filled with a variety of events. And the scriptwriters know very well what good is and how it differs from both its imitation and evil ... Of course, the plot is predictable in many ways, but this is the predictability of a good fairy tale in which good wins, because it is smarter, bolder and more selfless evil.
