... It's not better and it's not worse, it's just different.
After watching this movie, I walked out of the room in a very positive way. Not liked only the love line of the main characters, especially the illogical and inconsistency in the behavior of the girl. Everything else is quite cute, easy and charming. In some places, the vulgar humor and demonstration of the use of alcohol and narcotic substances did not bother me at all: a lot of films, both domestic and foreign, will surpass the “Promise” both in vulgarity and in naturalism.
Very funny school rap group, Daniil Vakhrushev miraculously transformed in comparison with his role in “Fizruk”. Only funny, perhaps, will not be everyone, but only those who have at least the slightest idea of rap and such “local” amateur rap bands (who, of course, will soon send their cassette to Moscow on the scene of Baste and become famous).
Who should watch this movie? It is easier to say who is not worth it:
- those who believe that the humor of the level of "Real boys" and "Physruk" offends their refined taste;
- those who expect to see moral punishment of the characters in the end and morality (who ever said that every film should have this notorious "morality" and every film should "teach something"?);
- those who are not mentally strong enough (by the way, age does not play a decisive role here), so as not to perceive what they see as a guide to action.
I highly recommend the rest!
This product is not worth much talk about. But still...
If asked to describe this work in one word, I will not hesitate to answer:
Abhorrent
A few words about superficial things.
Director - well, there's nothing to say. No way. Someone will say, “Well, it’s Russian Production, what kind of directing can we talk about here.” A couple of years ago, I would have been one of them, but lately, fortunately, decent films have begun to appear, which I am very happy about.
Acting game - perhaps omitted.
The plot - oh, that's brilliant. The theme of the “perfect prom”, the topic of teenagers – gangsta repers, the theme of parents? Amazing, isn't it?
Well, here we go. Morality:
I’m not really excited about the younger generation. And I can freely discuss this topic, as I am a full-fledged representative of it. And unfortunately, the truth is that for many indicators of adulthood are cigarettes, alcohol. And what is depressing is that it gets worse every year. But what is shown here is clear propaganda. It is thanks to such films that children become dull and degenerate, and rapidly. The age limit is 18+? No smart, grown-up, sane person will watch this misery. The viewing will be interrupted in the first 10 minutes.
Speaking of adults,
Parents I understand that such people exist, but in the film it is shown so disgusting that it is even worse to imagine.
Students, students, and students. It all boils down to the fact that the finished children, deprived of reason, moral principles, lock parents and teachers in the basement (or gym), and arrange a “graduation dream”. What is he? School wreckage, a lot of alcohol, promiscuous sex, fights. Bonus went gopniks who want to rape graduates. I don’t know if there were drugs, but I don’t know if there were. Under the load of a ton of immorality, something still flies out.
What emotions does the film convey? I was ashamed to watch it. Shame on you. A sense of hopelessness and the inevitability of living in a disgusting future society. As for the comedy component, the film never made me smile, let alone laugh.
I’m afraid of Russian cinema in general. How can people like Vsevolod Brodsky, or our brilliant writers from Comedy Club, be allowed to make films? If they do these things now, what will happen next, given that young people will not get better?
Result
Shame on you. Shame on everyone who made this film. Immorality, degradation, and worst of all, agitation.
Unfortunately, the film will find its audience. But the intellectual level of development of such viewers will speak for itself.
-1 out of 10
Too bad. Yes, graduates are not yet ready for adulthood, do not understand many things, think that being an adult is like smoking and drinking beer, but! Show me what the creators of this film showed me.
Jokes on the topic of same-sex love (in fact, in life I express myself more harshly, so you can replace some nouns and verbs with their more everyday counterparts), boozy children-degenerates who are going to rape graduates gopnik, an abundance of alcohol, for some reason not deprived of parental rights of the ancestors of graduates, a fight from dusk to dawn ...
Yes, you need to endow the characters with character, you need to make them funny to maintain the genre of the film, but not as much to bend as sometimes here.
Nezlobin upset. In his time at Comedy Club, he said a lot of things that were both funny and smart at the same time. And to move here will not work, because the script for this film he wrote, too. Many actors consult with writers and directors, try to supplement their image, although they are not screenwriters. And here is a man with experience in the comedy genre and such a failure. Bad game. And the image is absolutely terrible.
Svetlakov is also upsetting. And although here he is a producer and writer (another), and not an actor, but the very participation in this project casts another shadow on him. Inconspicuous, in comparison with the shadows of "Bitter!" and "Emergency", but still! Undoubtedly a talented man, a wonderful humorist and a good actor, but! His participation in many recent “Russian comedies” has thoroughly spoiled the opinion of many people about themselves. I'm sorry.
I won't write about the story. A typical comedy for our time.
About the “actors”, besides Nezlobin, there is nothing to add. These are either second roles with TNT or nouneim from the street. They were saving the budget.
Should I watch the movie? If you want to watch a comedy, watch another one. Honestly. Babies are bad for you.
I confess, I love the film “Bitter”, I consider it the best domestic comedy since “Ivan Vasilyevich changes profession” and therefore seeing on the poster of “Vyvny” the inscription “from producers Gorky” without hesitation decided to go and give a chance to domestic cinema.
I'm disappointed. The film sets against itself from the very first seconds, as it begins with a vulgar rap of two high school students about how they will drink at the prom, drink chicks, “fry” chicks. Listening to it was disgusting, so from the very first minute I doubted the film.
And then the film is just full of vulgar and most importantly not funny moments. The main character, who does not go to Amsterdam and stay with a girl, lies to his father that he is gay and he "sways" on men. God, how disgusting it was to listen to whether Svetlakov and Nezlobin are such bad comedians that they could not come up with anything better than a story about the blueness of the guy and the “swinging” of the genitals.
But the apogee of all the vulgarity of the film is the moment when the brother of the protagonist, reading on the school stage rap, shows the whole school a naked ass. Can someone explain to me what this scene is for? What's she doing in the movie? The hero just raps, finishes, takes off his pants and shows his ass. A scene that doesn't make any sense and, most importantly, isn't funny at all, who would think a naked ass is funny? I immediately recall a similar scene from the movie “Idiocracy” where people became so dumbed that in theaters they show movies where for 90 minutes they show a naked ass and everyone laughs at it. That's exactly the same amount of graduation.
Another stupid and unfunny moment is of course the song about 100 ass. What was funny about it, probably only the creators know.
The main claim, the film for the most part, despite the title is not about the prom, most of the film is about different characters, about their relationship that has nothing to do with the prom. And the prom itself lasts less than a third of screen time.
And finally, the main character in the end says to the class: "Let's not forget each other, we will call." But the film didn't show the unity of the class, it didn't show how the guys came together, most of the guys in the class I had never seen before. This phrase has nothing to do with the film. And also caused a misunderstanding of the remark of the main character Demyan that they will not be able to communicate with each other, because ... it’s all over and that’s it. Writers who didn’t want to write a monologue? Why is it incomplete?
Conclusion: Prom could have turned out to be a good comedy, especially since there are a couple of funny moments in it, I personally was most killed by the joke: “What kind of stink on the push, like an elephant piled?”, but they are extremely few. Basically, all the humor is vulgar and unfunny, for some reason our writers still think that vulgar humor is ridiculous, unfortunately.

Apparently, it is not enough to write and shoot a good comedy, the most difficult thing is to find a viewer.
That rare case where the film slipped between the Scylla of unfunny vulgar gagmedia (gag+comedy) and Charybda of an equally unfunny refined untruth, where adult aunts and uncles get into ridiculous situations in their "typical" eight-room and two-storey Russian apartments. The second films are tense jokes, but without the musical substrate of eralasha, their jokes can not be counted, and the first ones have so loosened their humour muscle that they cannot squeeze it, where it is already necessary to stop uncontrolled flows with sweetness.
I put 10 out of 10 out of protest. It is clear that this is not the best comedy, but annoyed suddenly woke up in the audience “intelligibility”.
Having briefly reviewed the reviews, I conclude that viewers are annoyed by drunken jokes and something about cattle. Yes, there are people here, including young people (who are 18 years old) drinking, there is a video about 100 ass and a song about frying chicks. It is a pity that the supporters of morality did not see behind the ass and alkohumor quite unambiguous values inherent in the plot: friendship, mutual assistance, search for yourself, punching talent, the ability to compromise, growing up and reassessing views. The creators created a living world of real teenagers, not children from Yeralash and weave a golden thread of good relations between the characters. There is no blackness and cruelty, which in such a provincial school, by the way, more than in the film.
And the adults here are real. Not drunks, not degraded people, but people who may have relaxed for the first time in their adult lives. They did not plan for themselves, but found themselves in circumstances in which they became young and carefree again. If it were not for the will of chance, but rather the trap into which their own despotism has led them, then there would be no such drunken dances as horrified. Everything would be ceremonial and noble, and then everyone would go home to put in “classmates” photos of fake idyll. Without this key dialogue, when the older generation asks “what kind of generation are you crazy?”, the answer is “you’re crazy and we’re normal.”
Recently, there have been so many shoddy comedies that the fate of Russian cinema is gradually beginning to cause serious fears again. Although everything, of course, is not as bad as it seems immediately after watching movies like “Prom”. In Russia, they have not forgotten how to make a good movie – that is absolutely true. Another question: have you forgotten how to shoot smart comedies (not films at the junction of genres, like “Trees”, namely comedies)? Most likely, and this is all right, but against the background of paintings, for example, “Bitter!” and “Corporate” you begin to forget that in Russian cinema there was any other humor, except the toilet.
In the center of the plot is a drunken festive brawl in the Russian outback (please note that in such films, the action very rarely takes place in Moscow or St. Petersburg). This time, the “movement-bodryak” takes place in the Nizhny Novgorod secondary school, and the main theme for it was the farewell to the school of the eleventh “A” class, and the accompanying trans-ritual entry into adulthood wild rite of loss of human essence (for someone exactly one night, for someone forever, and others, as they say, live “without regaining consciousness”). It is clear that such a day (as well as the next night) is a holiday for both children and parents, and, of course, for teachers. And someone really takes advantage of the occasion to drink, have sex, “walk around” – this is the truth of life, everything is fine. Another annoying thing is: why portray all the characters in the film as stupid pigs and present their way of celebrating the event as the only true, acceptable and acceptable option?
No, of course, not all the characters of the picture Vsevolod Brodsky, the next debutant, crave only sex and alcohol (well, there are exceptions). Someone is preparing for a wedding, someone is recording a clip, parents are trying to protect their children from trouble. But in the end, the older generation gets trapped, recollects, and ultimately demonstrates that they are not so different from their children. And they are in full swing, which no one doubted.
Why do they make such films? For the sake of the box office, they have no other purpose. Stupid cattle-cinema, carrying the viewer nothing but a headache or an hour and a half in the role of infusoria. Right, the guys from KVN and Comedy (including Sergey Svetlakov), who acted as screenwriters, are capable of clever, subtle, really funny jokes that, like, find understanding among the population. But why and who needs a "graduation"?
Let me start with the fact that this “work” came across by chance on one of the paid channels. I feel sorry for the paid channels, as well as my time wasted.
Do you remember your prom? Remember when you waited for him? Well, this prom isn't like that. Even preparing for him. The idiocy of the whole production. And many people here write that they saw nothing in common with Gorky? Yes, as boys, what a movie, in our "cinema", all crowned with drunkenness! This time, the creators went further. They drank both parents and students. All the youth of the city walk around with vodka and champagne in broad daylight. The adults trapped in the bomb shelter. And even funnier, like when you're drunk, everyone solves their problems! Family, friendly. And with films like this, we want to show that we're "Fast Food Nation 2." ??? Or that everyone in Russia is drunk? And can they get drunk at the most important party of children? Yes, our young people are not like us now, but they do not deserve such an “attitude” on the screen.
A separate moment - "Nezlob" - the guy is definitely lost. I've already been in this "low project."
Think, esteemed directors, screenwriters, producers, etc., when you shoot such a movie that in 10-15 years adults are already children, will show their children? If you don’t have enough savvy, don’t throw money away!
Buy better orphanage or school a new computer, TV, etc.
Good luck! You!
Pseudographers...
In my humble opinion, Russian cinema has been in a coma for a long time, and attempts to revive it lead to nothing. The film “Prom” was just another attempt.
Never having much love for the “domestic”, I spontaneously decided to see this picture. I will not say that I watched it in vain, but it did not cause much delight to me.
After watching the trailer, I expected to see Project X, only on the premises of a public school. As a result, I saw another story about the relationship between fathers and children ( a rather jaded topic), seasoned with the tandem of Romeo and Juliet ( also quite shabby). Fortunately, the plot turned out to be quite thoughtful and logical, which is not bad. But some moments cut the eye, seemed unnecessary and rudely crammed into the movie.
The acting was quite mediocre, the lines were often very playful and theatrical. Of all the people I remember only the headmaster of the school (Olga Khokhlov) and the father of the main character (Sergey Burunov). The actors perfectly coped with their role, so the “young generation” against their background clearly did not reach.
Since this film positioned itself as a comedy, it is fair to demand from him humor in aerobatics. Yes, there were a couple of funny moments, but they were often interrupted by something unnecessary and empty.
In conclusion, I want to say that only the last scene of the film was true, when the graduates realized that this is the end of their school friendship and it is inevitable.

Gentlemen, I am horrified that someone is putting positive comments on this movie. I thought that worse than “Corporate” and “What do men do?” in our cinema, nothing can be worse. The masters of film production still continue to surprise with the most real garbage, which is not the place that is in a garbage dump - it must be removed from the planet along with everyone who is somehow involved in this horror (Marina Fedunkiv and Gaizidorskaya with Burunov except to leave). How did you manage to cut more than $ 4 million at the “graduation”? Why go to the cinemas for such miserable creations? I can't understand that. He raped himself with a film at home to the victorious end only to write a review.
I do not belong to the Puritans and I am not going to write moralizing such as “as you show the youth on the screen – this is how it will be”, “parenting of minors” and other clever statements, but ... you can not roll into such an abyss. Never once smiled, I was disgusted to look at the drunken youth and the same crazy boozy ancestors (" parents, even the language does not turn to call). What did the amazing Burunov forget here? The man is the most naitalistic, we have repeatedly been convinced of the dubbing of films, and in his play in the show “The Big Difference”. In this thrash he looks out of the question, and it is very sad that this film is a stigma in the filmography of Sergei.
No young people in the film, which can be seen in the TV series of the channel “TNT” and New Year’s Eve “Yolkah / Mom”, struck by the lack of at least some game, although, here it is not needed. However, it's all "not yet." Episodes with the ass shown in front of the whole school, an incendiary composition about “frying chicks” and other nonsense supplemented negative emotions when watching. Nezlobin liked it, but if you look at what he had a hand in this “masterpiece”, all his positive features are fundamentally crossed out.
Horrible. A nightmare. Trash. Galimatya. I hope that graduation in Russia is completely different.
Here are the girls dancing - rings, earrings, fenecks,
Boys dance, girls fall in love!
As long as the parents don’t see it,
You didn't take us home this graduation night!
Few people believed that Russian cinema is still able to please a good comedy. I am one of the few who believed in this and decided to please the Russian comedy cinema with my purse. But, as they say, trust, but check - and, before going to the cinema on "Prom", I previewed four commercials for this film (very careful, albeit futile (two similar words) - advertising for the film). The first teaser for the "Promise" (not a trailer, but a teaser) pleased only with the dazzling views of the youth party, and this teaser began as a horror advertisement, which gave it originality. However, this video, as well as another teaser that showed the performance of junior classes, turning into a youth breakaway, almost everyone was rejected on YouTube, saying that this will be another idiotic comedy from the “bad boy” (quote). To whom, personally, it seemed original. But these were teasers shot separately from the film, followed by two official trailers, which showed the most fun, funny and incendiary moments from the film itself. Then it became clear - it is necessary to change your rule to go to the cinema only in 3D, and go to a youth comedy without special effects, but with killer humor to laugh for the company with many other young people. Such brilliant advertising, more friendly received on YouTube (albeit not all, but many) set up for viewing in a more filled cinema, and for this it was desirable to go to the cinema on a weekend, spending 20 rubles more. For the sake of an hour and a half of laughter in the company of young people, do not pity such a small thing. So, what is the “graduation”?
The limit of 18+ in this case is nothing more than a misunderstanding: in my opinion, 16+ would be more suitable. Maybe the film is able to teach young people debauchery, but the question is why then the comedy “Bachelor party in Vegas”, as well as its recent Russian counterpart “Corporate” were limited to 16 years? Don't these two comedies teach you how to burn money at parties, get drunk to death? No, in fact, “Bachelor party in Vegas” is a very, very successful comedy (which can not be said about the Russified version), but we are talking specifically about the unfairly given age limit.
Many were frightened from viewing the fact that the film was shot at the expense of the producers of the comedy "Bitter!", which absolutely failed to make the viewer laugh; and the fact that the director was made by Vsevolod Brodsky, known for two failed series shot for the TNT channel. I am not familiar with the TV series "Hares + 1" and "NeZlob", and there is no desire, but I can certainly say that "Promise" is a real breakthrough for this director (not only in the sense of switching from series to a big movie). And finally, few people wanted to watch Nezlobin playing himself in the film (this time he switched places with Sergey Svetlakov, who also played himself in Bitter!). In fact, it turned out that the “Prom” bypassed the above-mentioned comedy in all respects: it showed a love story, and uncouth performances of novice rappers, and the relationship of the younger generation with the older. All this is provided with scratchy jokes, many of which I remember from two more trailers. In visual terms, the film resembles a worthy response to the American "Project X. Were squandered". Ah this is summer, this is prom night!
Oh, that June that introduced us to you!
Oh, this school, this evening, this ball!
Why are you at that ball?
(Everyone judges to the extent of their depravity - in this film, these lines (with both ending options) are very suitable for Nezlobin himself)
Why did the audience announce a boycott of “Prom” without watching it? It is no secret that Russian comedies have gotten worse and worse every year, and the viewer has already forgotten the success of Love in the City and will never forgive Russian cinema such garbage as The Best Film and Antisex. Do you want to know how "Prom" is better than the previous "hits"? I say as someone who has seen several masterpieces of recent years:
1) The plot is not delusional, unlike the comedies "Friends of Friends" and "Soon Moscow-Russia",
2) There is no overt pornography, unlike "What Men Do,"
3) Humor is many times more than in "Bitter!" (I think there was no attempt to joke),
(4) Mordoboy adds not moral ugliness, but adrenaline, because here it is a desperate fight with gopniks who decided to rape one of the graduates.
5) Moral ugliness, as such, is not observed here at all, in contrast to the same "Fast Moscow-Russia" and "The Best Film", which offended our whole country.
And now compare the "Prom" with the above-mentioned American analogue about the super-mega-party: humor more is a fact; there are no idiotic jokes "below the belt"; there is no such abomination as showing a girl's defecation in a small way; there is no such lawlessness as the mass use of ecstasy. Although I would not say that there was no vulgarity at all, as the author of one of the negative reviews claims and states that this is the only plus of the film. The vulgarity was to take at least a rap about ass, or a son’s confession to his father and vice versa in his inclinations to homosexuality (the hall especially laughed at this). After the movie, it felt like he had just started with everyone. But here there is not only a youth gap on the verge of insanity - here and love; and creativity (albeit not always decent), and elementary school atmosphere. Thanks to the authors, they brought me back to the age of 17 and showed the most incredible graduation, which, probably, no one ever has.
10 out of 10
P.S. When the main character with the old name Demyan “burned” the mother of his classmate with a famous humorist, the hall was just exhausted from laughter. And the laughter caused exactly the way he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
We are waiting for some sharp turns,
The school is behind us.
As long as you know nothing about the future,
Your biggest choice is ahead of you!
All that awaits us tomorrow is to boldly move forward!
Look straight ahead! Tomorrow is coming.
Knowing who the director and producer was, I was expecting something like a better movie. Surprised. I do not like stupid jokes, prefer intellectual plots, however, I did not expect from myself, I liked it. I started thinking why. I went to sign up for review sites to articulate for myself and others. I can’t tell you, but it’s a different level. Of course, it was not without branding, without far-fetched turns of events, however. ..
I liked the cast. Our Russian actors, among whom there are almost no favorites, some serial actors who play as they should, the emotions that are necessary in this situation. KVN actors, as always, as in their time on KVN, play no worse than the actors of the Moscow Art Theatre. Teachers are teachers, parents are parents (they really are), and graduates are young adults, as from the neighboring school. Young men!
Screenplay. I can't complain. Stupid, but the logic of the sequence of events is there. Yes, with some degree of probability, such a sequence of events could actually happen in some school. In this, some far-fetched situation, embedded fleeting jokes that I thought appropriate. 5 points for the writer!
Taking into account the level of Russian modern former-secretive cinema, which is mostly impossible to see, you can see it. Look, you might not regret it.
And the devils can cry, watching drunken from the budget and imagination of the writers of the film.
That is, you really want to say (no matter who you are critics who left positive reviews) that the film was removed, the truth did not surpass the wonderful masterpiece as bitter! That the cast really knows how to play. That jokes are all straight native, everything for our multinational audience, everything is like in life, everyone loves it.
Yes, I agree, bitterly far from him, not so large-scale turned out, ' divinity' jokes had to be stuck in the school box.
A storyline featuring a couple in love in an event where everything is supposed to revolve around him, just scoring the timing. People are accused of watching foreign with questionable humor, where there is humor. Jokes are squat, one-sided, will go under vodka or absinthe when the brain does not care what to laugh at whether it is drunken schoolchildren, or naked ass on the whole screen.
The actual event. Forgot to sign that besides comedy, it's fantastic. Reaching the peak of what’s happening doesn’t appear to be something that should have been wedged on the basis of adequacy... seriously? Well, so that the plot is not broken, or people will not understand. Where's the joke? To show the type (!) realistically recreated situation of the prom, having watched before that foreign projects, the guys well copy what is bad for. Take the situation in a vacuum and play a typical drunken frenzy in it (hello bitter!) Some kind of drama on lowered notes, slipping into a pseudo-realistic thrashack. It's more like dilution. From the viewed effect is created ' and what'.
Uh, the grades.
Operating work: 5 out of 10
Plot: 3 out of 10
Jokes: one terrible washing chick at the canister of 10
Justification of the money spent: cut out of 10.
Acting role: two stupid rappers out of 10.
Over. Do not go to such films, otherwise you give a chance to earn ideas, and continue to please such masterpieces.
As someone wrote from positive reviews. 'One and a half hours of laughter and positivity', laughed even over the credits probably.
This film is not just a graduation, it is primarily the relationship of fathers and children.
I did not expect anything good from the film, as it is rare recently that Russian cinema is pleased with good comedies. I didn't want to watch it, I just had nothing else to look at that night. But... this movie made my day!
At first I spit for the fact that already depraved young people are corrupted even more, with such paintings. In the film, drugs, butts, and hints of homosexuality, and attempts at violence, and the destruction of school, and early sexual life, in general, a complete set of everything that you would think you should protect young people from ... such thoughts about the film visited me until they began to show how to break away parents.
Young people today are not like us. They're different, they're more free to choose, they're more relaxed, but that doesn't make them better or worse, they're just OTHER! Didn't there be drugs and violence in the nineties, didn't there be movies about it? Weren't there hippies and LSD in the '60s? Drugs, nudity were always there. The previous generation is never satisfied with their children. If you do, how do you feel when no one is looking at you?
The film, despite the adult scenes, turned out to be kind and funny. And that there are moments that children do not show, so the limit is +18! In addition, modern children learn about sex and drugs much earlier than we knew about it.

It’s always hard to write a negative review, but this movie certainly deserves it. After watching this 'Masterpiece' you realize that you have wasted an hour and a half of your life. What do we see in this picture? In addition to the standard 'Sex, drugs, rock and roll' we still see not funny, flat jokes, ridiculous situations and stupid antics.
The plot in this film is absolute 0. After all, to remove drunks ' Boys and girls, as well as their parents' big mind is not necessary, so the author of this ' Comedy' decided not to bother. In this film, we are given to understand that debauchery and drunkenness is normal, that it is fun and nobody will get anything for it.
I want to warn those people who are going to see this film, but before watching read reviews and reviews. I'll tell you not to waste your time watching this disgusting movie. Very ashamed of such here 'Masterpieces' which from year to year we are pleased with Russian cinema.
As for the cast, such stars as Sergey Pokhodaev, Marina Fedunkiv and Sergey Burunov very brightened up and diversified this film and that it was not very pleasant to see these actors (who are very able and able to make people laugh) in such a ridiculous film.

Released in the fall, six months after the real graduation in Russian schools, the film “Vyvnoy” is a symbiosis of the American Project X and Russian reality, well, and of course, the follower of the thundered throughout the country, but remained far beyond the line of humor, “Bitter”.
The hand would not have risen to watch “Prom”, but the review of the movie was accused of aiding the Americans (damn Yankees!!!), and objectivity was criticized by the use of deft editing followed by drinking all the good jokes in the film. So it's time for me to join the audience of such a Russian comedy, understood only by us, "Promise".
Continuing the tradition of “Bitter”, the plot of this film is slightly less than completely tied to alcohol, the production of a radio and a set of bearded jokes, over which only a fool has not yet laughed. Filled with young, pleasant to the eye, but completely stamped characters (emo and rappers – as a symbol of the younger generation at all times, while young people worship other ideals), “Prom” does not dare to develop individual characters, only giving the actors to play a couple of prepared jokes in front of the camera.
The prom itself is not stunning in scope or splendor. Yes, there are many details that are recognizable to the eye, be it red ribbons of graduates or a dull school concert, which is interesting only to its participants, but all this gives ordinaryity and carries the extra frenzy, party hard, which the creators promised.
The film was not as bad as expected, for which thank you, but fulfills its promises to show a carbon monoxide comedy about a large-scale party with a river of alcohol and homeric funny stories.
When this movie was announced, I often heard: This movie is about us, and many people have it. It’s a moment of connecting the audience and attracting them. I didn’t want to go to the cinema, but I managed to see it alone and soberly appreciate this miracle.
It’s funny to think this is a new genre in our cinema. This genre was invented a long time ago and is called in informal conversations “delusionalism”. God forbid if this movie brings us together. Then we can absolutely say that we have descended to the bottom of the cultural development of our country.
At the very beginning of the film, I saw the magnificent landscapes of Nizhny Novgorod and was further amazed when almost the only advantage of the film was forgotten. Instead, we were entertained by a classy drink that was unlike any prom. Cinema is filled with a huge number of stereotypes that do not really exist. It seemed that I watched the sequel to “Bitter” (which I did not do in life and well done), because so many storylines are incredibly similar to the allegedly successful film.
Why the "Prom" at all? This film is not about prom, it's not about the last school meeting. I offer the following variants of the name: “Drunk”, “Idiotism”, “Fun”, “Fun” and many more stupid names of this nonsense, whose script comes up with two pillars of domestic humor. Yes, forgive me guys, but I am ready to share how the process of forming the script took place: “Seregha, and let’s like they all got drunk there, lost their virginity!!!”, and Nezlobin Svetlakov replies: “Come on, what else do you sleep with your mother, and then like family is cool.” It all seemed like this.
Don’t spend money buying discs. Better watch Soviet comedies, expect really funny and truly unifying comedies about us.

In recent times, Russian cinema has often been a flashy comedy. 2014 was no exception either. “Corporate” was followed by “Promise”.
June, the exam is handed over, the school is finished, there is only one graduation. Teachers and parents decide where to celebrate, arguing for a long time, they still collectively decide to spend graduation at school. But they did not count on the intelligence of the students. Taking advantage of the opportunity, graduates lock teachers and parents in a bunker and begin to hang out at all.
Comedy is built solely on stereotypes. It is not surprising, because on all posters in large letters it is written: from the creators of “Bitter”.
Both comedies strongly resemble each other, the plot is almost the same, and the motives too. However, there is a good acting here. In my opinion, Christina Isaykina played the best of all. The actress was very expressive, this is how every second graduate should look, or at least behave. I liked it the most: the style of speech and humor. In many films, graduates are passed off as avid batanych and nerds, but this is far from the case, girls at this age are quite simple. This was shown to us by the actress who played the main character, Kristina Isaikina, as it seems to me, a bright future awaits, because she is very young and talented.
In general, the film is not bad, except for absurd moments and propaganda. However, a lot of things are taken from American youth comedies such as Project X and Supermen. But now in Russia there is a comedy about “Supertus”.
Not that funny, but very interesting comedy about prom. There are a lot of things you could do without, or at least add more fun. Many alumni will criticize this film after seeing it, but I want to emphasize that they will be right. What happens in the film is unreal.
The director of the series Zaitsev + 1, Vsevolod Brodsky, in my opinion, is still quite "green" in terms of directing, he has few filmed projects, series that he shot like the same "Hares + 1" is far from a gift. And here he made a film, which so far is the loudest in his career and most interestingly, it is not so disgusting!
I’m not saying this is a good comedy! Nope! In it, as in similar Russian comedies, a lot of meaningless and stupid scenes, a lot of stupid dialogue and strange characters. What I mean by the characters of the prom difficult to call only finished eleventh grade, especially this claim to girls. Stupid chatter in this film, aside, various and non-natural dialogues like the characters of Demyan and his girlfriend, Demyan and his dad (look, you understand) and other characters this film spoil, these scenes with meaningless conversations in my opinion are an attempt to kind of cause laughs from the viewer, but it does not work this nonsense.
But not everything is so bad, there are places and facts in the film that I will not be afraid of this word are not bad. For example, in some places it is really possible to smile without sarcasm, for example, I was laughed at by “rappers”, who are really ridiculed quite well. It pleases the people who are involved here as actors and not their acting. Their acting is weak for almost everyone! It is gratifying that there are no puke-ridden people here Svetlakov, Galustyan, Kharlamov, etc. From the caste of actors I would like to highlight Sergei Pokhodaev, I think the kid was good, played quite well.
In the end, I want to say that I have long thought about what kind of review to write negative or neutral, having brainstormed all the choice fell on the second option. It's a comedy that's stupid, untrue, and you could say nothing, but it's not as disgusting to look at compared to other Russian comedies. With the load of Russian comedies, I can say with confidence, I have seen much worse!

Surprisingly, I was not disgusted to watch it, yes, of course, to say that I can not like the film, but in comparison with the latest “comedy”, such as “Corporate”, this was able to at least smile at me a couple of times and I honestly sat down to the end.
The first half of the film introduces us to the main characters - these are future graduates and their parents. The adult generation, mainly representatives of the TNT channel and, as often happens in our modern comedies, they are the ones who fail the entire film, constantly, at least most of them definitely, desperately overplay, killing at the root and so not a large amount of digestible hilariousness. Young people came to the rescue, yes, no more talented, but the desire to play and eccentricity, drew not only their game, but also joint scenes with adults, giving the viewer the opportunity to have at least a little fun.
The second half of the film is the prom itself, here everything is done under the Hollywood blueprint. The subject of crazy parties there, across the ocean, fully revealed, our decided to run along the beaten path, which only killed the whole film. For the first fifty minutes I had an interest in what was happening, then a plot incident happened and a scripted bacchanalia began, capable of laughing the audience very much tuned for fun. All these endless shots of slow-acting unrestrained alcoholic fun began to infuriate after a few seconds of exposure, I really got bored with such primitiveness, all this drunken humor is already in the liver.
Summing up, I note that this film can be seen, it is taller, even if not head, all the Russian "comedy" stuff, which, in principle, is already pleasantly surprising.
I hope not for nothing, I wish you a pleasant viewing!!!
Let me begin my review with the words of one character from the film, which accurately conveys my impressions of watching this film. Why is it rotten? Because it is disgusting and does no good. There are holes in the plot, there is no logic, as well as the adequacy of the characters.
According to statistics, Russia occupies the leading place in children's alcoholism. Remember that when you watch this movie.
It would seem that such a good topic as a school graduation should generate a whole bunch of funny jokes, because I am sure everyone will have something to tell about this holiday. The very idea of this day is to leave behind only the best memories of school and your classmates. Here all jokes boil down to that would expose the vices of society and not that not to ridicule them, but to raise them into a cult.
Plot. The plot is simple – children and parents are going to celebrate the same holiday, but unfit children get rid of their parents and start their party. Who's gonna be the best? Parents or children, that’s the whole story of the movie. Morals don't wait. (Yes, I want to watch a movie – not only to “purely scold”, but also to get something for myself.) But the guys Svetlakov and ko make money, they do not care about morality.
Actors. The cast mainly consists of "self-taught knives" and well-known TNT persons. These are actors from the TV series “Fizruk”, “Students”, etc. As you understand, their game is everywhere on the same level and some genius to expect from them is not worth it. The fact that Nezlobin was raised here in a cult, I will probably keep silent.
Conclusion: we just show 2 drunks without any deep subtext.
Is the problem of fathers and children revealed? - Nope!
Are the problems of teenagers’ relationships among themselves revealed? - No.
Disclosed the problem of choosing a further life path? - No.
P.S. Wrote already in the review of “Gorko” and continue to wonder why the authors of a well-hosted holiday is reduced only to getting drunk and sow chaos around?
In order not to exaggerate the plot of this (cinema, not cinema – I don’t even know how to define it) action, I begin with the fact that the very phrase “let’s go see a new Russian comedy” causes in me the most base feelings: disgust, hatred, pain and a negative attitude towards the person who made such a proposal. But I want to ask you...
How long will the money from the state budget be invested in obscenities called “Russian comedy”? How long will the KVNs, the "humourists" of the Comedy Club, who are mired in jokes below the belt, be popular? How long will the movie, which was filmed allegedly to show the real life of the layman without embellishment (booze, vulgarity, drugs, mate attached), be in demand from the same layman (because the peeple scavenges)? How long will the blind copying of Hollywood and American cinema (which, as everyone knows, is itself experiencing an ideological crisis) continue? It would seem that cinema is an art. Art that can awaken in a person some sublime feelings, form, form spiritual bonds (at least this!).
But no. Tell me, which of the sublime feelings causes the father of the main character to almost come out? (oh yes, this plot twist was invented with the aim of somehow somehow MUSICALLY beating the genius idea of the main character). Or is it something that does not fit into the general plot structure, a scene with a former KVNrzyka Fedunkiv on the pier, which leads an immoral lifestyle with two men at once, although not with three (and maybe the more, the better?) Or the worthlessness of Nezlobin, in the film continues to unskillfully stand-up and demonstrate themselves from the most disadvantageous positions (although the series of the same name with him showed this to the fullest)? Apparently, the authors embody the father-son scene of the educational function of cinema (see the Law on the Prohibition of Homosexual Propaganda). Most likely, they form spiritual bonds. But the price of such cliches based on hatred, intolerance of minorities is petty. And about what moral messages the scene on the pier contains, I do not even want to think.
“Let’s lock ourselves in a small town and make the end of the world!” – Andy Anguil
I confess honestly – initially I just can’t stand small towns, especially when you are there quietly for almost all your life.
This film from the very first frames began to press me with the locked space of the N-town, in which everyone knows everyone, the rumors pass as quickly as the wave from a drop from the tap that fell into the basin - from edge to edge.
And almost half of the action of the oppression of locking was only enhanced by the experiences of the main characters against the background of rather rare, funny and faded-frequent jokes on different topics. Yes, the scene with the unmarried was fun, the scene of a father and a non-gay son was fun, the scene with the Night was fun (the poems on the camera are cute). But almost half of the film is missing so necessary this backwater hole optimistic dynamism.
But already in the middle of the film begins more or less showing the main storyline, which I in principle did not even guess, despite the screaming title. The tedious (and so familiar!) performance of teachers, spontaneous rap, the development of storylines in several plans grows and heats up, and results in a completely and pleasantly unexpected denouement with the department of adults and children. By the way, the level of jokes does not increase by a single ppm, although with each sip of alcohol, the drunkenness of various characters of the tape increases and increases.
The completely unexpected and frightening invasion of non-childish and clear-cut boys into the territory of the school that we already love a little, and the semi-dramatic semi-comedy finale did not leave me indifferent. But to this finale was a rather boring and long road, because of which I put the film.

I’m not going to say that I’m disappointed: my hometown, beautiful city, was not shown to me. Of course, the places chosen by the director – I know since childhood, I walk there all the time and, it seems, they had to “sit down”. But who is not interested in looking at your city through the eyes of a person who has not lived there as long as you.
And if I, the next time asked: where was filmed the graduation (and not Zhmurki, as it used to be) – I will cry and run away.
Even if you leave your “Nizhny Novgorod” nagging and start the plot, then ... I have no words. Indeed, the topic is extensive ... but in this film it rests on the label, "dude, this is a rapchik" and eleven-graders - whores.
Ruffy schoolchildren, Nezlobin - boar, pseudo-repers, 100 ass, a nameless woman who loves hussars in big water, alcoholic rivers, terrible slag instead of music ... they allocate money for this. This is what people do.
It's summertime. I walked along the bridge that leads to the Nikolskaya Tower, at the moment when Nezlobin and someone from the film crew were standing there; they were talking. And there was a desire in me to hang a pendel to this Alexander, but the upbringing and good manners (not inherent in the characters of this film) allowed me only to say: hello ... and retire.
And now I blame myself for it. It would be better, according to the example of the film, having had enough to arrange a pogrom: throw Nezlobin off the bridge, burn the cameras, tear the dresses of the actresses ... after all, I will have nothing for this.

Already in the fifth minute of the film, the scene of copulation of schoolchildren is shown, which clearly indicates to us the further direction of the whole picture. Oh, that high school prom! Hundreds of liters of cheap alcohol, half-naked classmates and classmates drunk to the state of luggage.
According to the trailer, it was clear that the authors wanted to shoot a provocative, vulgarly vulgar and overly flat jokes comedy. But comedy is determined by the presence of jokes and funny situations, and in this picture there is not only a single funny joke, but even pathetic attempts to joke cause nothing but irritation. Showing a greatly exaggerated reality (reality in the understanding of the director), the authors are so far removed from their imagination that this “creation” can be attributed to the genre of soft porn.
Return my 2007th If you are shooting a modern comedy about schoolchildren, you need to have at least a remote idea of this age group. An emo girl who dreams of committing suicide. Are you serious? Even if you omit the immorality of jokes about suicide, where in 2014 you can see the emo. At first glance, it is clear that the authors did not attend the school and did not even bother to find out from students what is happening there and what hobbies are now in fashion. True, there are rappers-losers of home bottling, but there is no satire or sarcasm in this. This subculture is not ridiculed at all.
History rushes from character to character like a rabid gopher. The whole story breaks down into separate parts that have nothing to do with the main line. And of course, no comedy should be complete without the stars of TNT. After all, the quality of the film automatically increases if the already tired face from the TV channel flashes in the frame.
If you like drunken schoolchildren, drunk parents, drunk teachers, jokes about suicide and rape, the destruction of an educational institution and fights, then you can safely watch this film. If you want a good mood and have a desire to laugh, it is better to skip.
P.S. Too bad you can't erase your memory.
I understand that all viewers are not happy with Russian cinema, especially in the genre of comedy, but it happens that the films are very good. This film I could put in the category very not bad, but about everything in order.
The main plot of the film unfolds around the preparation for the graduation of both teachers and parents, and of course the students themselves. Future graduates of course want to celebrate the day of farewell to school and opening the road to the unknown life. And of course, all this can not do without alcohol, which they secretly bought from everyone, parents and teachers. Also, during all this fuss, there are many funny stories with various people, ranging from a loving couple of schoolchildren who do not want to separate and study in different cities and to a charismatic couple from a carte second year and a gothic girl with suicidal tendencies.
A lot of young actors, and that's natural, it's prom. Well, who would like to see in the role of graduates Efremov, Kutsenko and Dyuzhev. However, even in this young line-up there are actors already familiar to us from various series and films. We can note the character of the snot, played by a young actor Sergey Pokhodaev (we could already see him in the film Christmas tree and the series Family Business), in my opinion, perfectly coped with the comedy role. Also in this film lit up one of the screenwriters Alexander Nezlobin, who is present in it as a cameo and is positioned as a modest, shy and certainly not as Macho, which is even a little uncomfortable with its popularity, but still gives up under the onslaught of a young mother of one of the graduates and ... further understand.
Unlike similar Western products, this film does not go beyond vulgarity in the form of wild drinking and smoking grass with consequences in the form of indiscriminate sex. And there is also a lot of not bad humor and banter (at least over the Russian REP).
P.S. I don’t see anything to do with the movie.
Wedding (from "Gorko!"), wake (from "Gorko! 2"), corporate (from "Corporate"), now still Graduating at school ... What event is left to be ridiculed? Maybe Easter or someone's birthday? No, it's not the postulate "Russians get drunk." For a terrible Russian comedy, it is not necessary to show drunkenness in all its glory, because in this film it is not as much as in the same “Bitter!”. In order for the Russian comedy to be really bad, very, very bad, you just need to gather the people and remove all the nonsense that comes to mind. Faced with another such film product, you are convinced of the holy truth that, according to the laws of drama, it is much more difficult to laugh than to make you cry. Or something to make me sad. The creators of “Prom” really know how to create both the second and the third. Unfortunately, the first one is not possible.
Personally, I have never had fun or fun. Is there a clear reason to think about something? Insinuations that there is some truthfulness or even a philosophy come down to a couple of weighty, but well-known thoughts (for example, that after school there will be no walks and meetings with classmates) and an annoying factor: parents never listen to their children, children never listen to their parents. As a result, adults are trying to create a fake spectacle of well-being, and teenagers just need to have fun and solve their problems created by narcissistic adults who decided to take complete control over them. It's like life. But the question is, why not make a drama about it? Full display of his directorial vision of the conflict. However, Valeria Gai Germanika did it before you. However, trying to repeat something remotely similar, the screenwriters (their seven people led by Sergei Svetlakov, seven people over one paper!) create, in fact, another “Bitter!”, only now about schoolchildren.
The heavy preparation for the holiday, which occupies half the film, is filled with all sorts of situations that are kind of aimed at empathizing with the heroes. Are we interested in their problems? No, not that question. In the COMEDY should give so much attention to someone's everyday problems? Having stretched the "cat by the tail", almost without showing the very preparation for the graduation (it will be replaced by a homemade rap), filling the plot with "water" and emptiness, the team of inventors finally reaches the moment in their scenario when it is necessary to present in all its glory the Best Day. As a result (as well as at the wedding), the director (instead of the tamadah) arranges "children" The official holiday with censorship (trying to save the precarious situation), where the humorist Nezlobin (no longer Svetlakov) is invited, but the younger generation does not like this situation, which entails a mini-rebellion. And from that moment, you can safely make the film in the blacklist of the most terrible and not the most believable films about the “party that will last forever.” To put it more clearly, frail, looking like a production of amateur theater, no one needs Graduation turns into another drunkenness, in which neither the older nor the younger are able to maintain a normal human face. Despite the obscurantism, as in the notorious “Bitter!”, the finale will be as happy as possible, because despite the fact that we are all pigs, we are still together, and we will consider that the evening was a success.
Unfortunately, the film itself failed. I don’t know how long the long-running Russian Comedies Parade will last, which from year to year “please us”, going out for hire (perhaps another ten years, if we don’t come to our senses). "Prom" repulses just like any of them. After watching such a movie, I do not even want to smile once: there is a desire only to disown what I saw and return the spent hour and a half of life, because this time really wasted. The movie doesn't do anything. It does not even provoke or shock the viewer. This is a waste of time and budget.
Graduation at school is a unique period of life, when yesterday was childhood, tomorrow will come youth, and today will be a “Feast for the whole world”.
The whole movie is about this day and night. About a day in the life of yesterday's students 11 "A", their parents and, of course, teachers.
Everyone is preparing, everyone is dreaming and everyone is waiting for this magical first real step into adulthood. Some rap for the album, others hide a supply of alcohol, others think about the wedding. Even Nezlobin will come to wish success in the future life in combination with his comic monologues. In general, the holiday is charged and waiting.
The director of this film, Vsevolod Brodsky, a friend from such works as Zaitsev +1 and Nezlob, decided to go along the not so long ago laid track left by the film Bitter! And screenwriters and producers Sergey Svetlakov, Alexander Baldin, Natalia Tkachenko, Timofey Zaitsev helped him in mastering the feature film.
It was lively, funny and warm. There is even a love story with feelings. It lacks the unbridled laughter of a pioneer.
“Every time has its own generation. It's not better, it's not worse, it's not sick, it's just different.
Everyone should have a prom. And if you remember him vaguely, he succeeded. And if you do not remember at all, then I ask you to go to the cinema, maybe remember something.

Once "graduation" was a "ball", later became "evening", now it is decided to abolish nouns, due to their low efficiency. "Prom" is enough. It's cooler, shorter and in line with the era.
The human brain is designed to look everywhere for food for thought. Martyshkin - feeds on entertainment: give her glasses - grinning will break, give school - laughing will crush. A video camera in the hands of a monkey turns into an instrument of lust for the fillet parts of females, and cinema in general - into a free banana plantation. Or a banana republic for gas producers - if you are not alien to the metaphor.
So, meet: another sequel "Planets of the Apes", by an incredible coincidence called otherwise. This time - comedy, thrash and harrow - everything is as you wanted. Spectators in cheap places can clap, gas meat producers can shake diamonds.
Suddenly it turned out that representatives of the Brodsky family are able to impress not only with complex rhymical reflections, but also with the directing of cattle-breeding films. Diligently drawing filigree curves of the plot, Vsevolod Brodsky explores the most important stage in the evolution of monkeys into orangutans. Before us appear colorful pictures of this mind-blowing action. Unattractive at the beginning of the spectacle of individual pairs preparing for initiation of primates gradually unfolds into a coveted feast for gourmet contemplatives by the end of the film. A large-scale canvas of humanoids killed by ritual and evolved overnight completes the viewing. Ugh...
I confess that the film caught on and shook all the intellectual heritage that I inherited from my ancestors. The worldview, so laboriously collected by the crumbs of many generations of my forefathers, was shaken. The hope for a bright and reasonable future burst at the seams. Metastases of comedy penetrated the cultural-motor apparatus and paralyzed most of it. In confusion, I wandered into the Internet - to find out who is who in "Graduation", and how to treat THIS. It turned out that V. Brodsky is passionately fond of manipulation techniques and four years ago already experimented with monkeys in the film “Me and Others”. I perfectly remember the eponymous documentary of the time of the sinister Soviet past, in which popular science depicted the behavior (then still) of Homo Sapiens in a herd of planters.
“Eh!,” I said with Peter Ivanovich, watching the remake from Brodsky. The researcher is dead, long live the propagandist!
Four years later, the aims and deeds of the Zionists prevailed over the curiosity of a mere mortal with a meaningful name, and Brodsky desired to command. At least on screen. At least monkeys. At least in the genre of cattle-breeding cinema. Yeah. As they say, I prefer to be the first in porn than the second Zadornov.
Sorry to read comments like that. I quite liked the film, ridicule the foundations and traditions of crazy festivities. And they are ridiculed exactly from the distance when it looks funny and fun.
However, it seems that everyone took it as a rule that Russian films suck, so they try to find one negative, not noticing the positive aspects of the film. Why do you, respected critics, not ridicule and omit the American way of presenting the life of young people? I understand that most people start to like outright vulgar jokes about dirty sex and drug addiction, as well as propaganda of homosexuality.
It’s a good movie to watch and not regret the time spent. 7/10
