Cinema – can not be confused with anything – American: well-maintained prosperity and constant luck in the modern high-tech business with computers and the Internet – with a lot of free time. Where does such wonderful prosperity come from? It is not known that from a sea of such American films this is not understood. Extensive manifestations of a bovish type of culture. Traditionally remarkable - not giving them rest - the sexual power of the characters. It sounds like a parody of the American way of life, but with a sophisticated directorial plan it kind of didn’t happen – it seems, really everything is serious.
In worn by generations of filmmakers along and across the plot of the family story in the circumstances of Christmas leafiness, the filmmakers in a pioneering rush added pepper, knee-deeply pouring verbal diarrhea with floating pieces of toilet - including literally - humor. The combination is completely unnatural. They say that if you stir a spoonful of shit in a barrel of honey, you get a barrel of shit. That was the case.
A lot of expressive acting performed by Brian Cranston and Megan Mullally. But the film as a whole evokes a sense of disgust: the effect is rare. The illustrious Russian spirituality against this background looks unshakable – in spite of the rotten West – a moral bulwark.
