Empty film First of all, it's not comedy, it's not funny. And more likely, very sad. Everything is so bad in the country that such a person, a scavenger, a liar, an empty-mouthed person becomes the main character, and still does not change in essence for the film. There is no lie, no lie, no zeal, nothing he has no reason to refuse, everything remains with him. Even the only book he's going to 'read' is a savings book.
Passing bought in Moscow car "Volga", he first takes money from fellow hitchhikers, curts over some aunt - apparently, it was supposed to be "ridiculous". Then, as an experienced driver, he saves a bus with children on a mountain road from falling into the abyss. He tries to use this authority to seduce the journalist. Very stupid and clumsy. In the process of letting the dust in the eye, he comes to a session of simultaneous games to his boss, suddenly at the same resort of the Caucasus holidaymaker. The match with him should be contractual, but the boss still beats him. I did not look very carefully, maybe I missed something, but from what I saw, this game of chess did not change anything either in the personality of the hero or in the plot of the film.
The result is not funny, not instructive, not romantic, disgusting. Oh, yeah. The background to the film is the song "Hold me, straw" performed by A. Pugacheva. Perhaps the film was made for her presentation?
The film involves good actors - Trofimov, Simonova and Shtil. But they can’t do anything about the empty plot of the film.
