Yes, this show was shot in a very budget, very cheap and angry, but it was fun and funny.
These simple typical apartments are probably familiar to everyone. After all, half of the people live in such apartments, many have similar furniture and furnishings. And that's a great idea, too. This is not a two-storey apartment of Gena Bukin, which was copied from the American TV series ' Married, with children' and certainly not a hospital from 'Internov' which also partially repeats its American predecessor.
That's why this series still looks alive. And all the characters are very bright and memorable, taken from real life. Has no one ever met such an alcoholic Stepan, a handy, not stupid, but terrible drunkard? If he hadn't been drinking, he wouldn't have had a price. But alas...
Hasn't anyone seen a bad aunt-commander like Zina Traktorenko building her husband and son? Or has there never been a whispered slut Pashka Zadov, who sits at the computer all day long and dreams of girls?
Special thanks to makeup artists and costumers. The two actors managed to create many completely different characters. It’s hard to believe that there are only two of them. It seems that in the apartment Zadovykh there are four, Smorechkov three and Traktorenko three in the family.
Ensign Vasya Zadov - it seems that he is always concerned only with obtaining the highest rank and money. But it is on it that most of the stories and adventures are kept.
Nina is Zadov's wife. A homely, calm and not stupid woman who supports her family.
Pasha named Ochkarito is a stupid slut who sometimes can come up with something on a computer and dreams of a beautiful girlfriend.
Tanka is Nina’s daughter and Pasha’s sister by mother, a beautiful and arrogant girl who dreams of a successful marriage and wealth. She has all the guys at home and a few grown rich men. Judging by the reviews of viewers on the Internet, both boys and girls found Tanka very cute and attractive. From Nagiyev turned out a very colorful and beautiful girl. And the character is very bright. So, I think that Tanya was the most successful.
Zina Traktorenko is also a very colorful and fighting lady who builds everyone, including her husband and son. Her husband Peter is very downtrodden and shy, but at the same time a brilliant scientist. Earrings are their son, a pugnacious teenager with the nickname Bulldozer is completely different from his father and mother. He likes to have fun and have fun.
Stepan is a hopeless drunk who is often very lucky. Despite drinking, he is not stupid and smart, and can also fix a lot. The series with his participation also turned out to be funny and funny.
Lucia is Stepan's wife. In the story, she seems to be Estonian. But somehow it is not noticeable in the plot. The Balts were always portrayed in films as European people, always speaking with an accent. And here Luca looks like an ordinary wrapped aunt with a ruffled head. Aunt Irma looks more like a foreigner than Lucia.
Lenchik is their son called Handsome. In general, an ordinary guy, similar to the Bulldozer Earring, and Pashka-Ochkarito. The same dreams of love, girls and money, the same adventures as ordinary teenagers. It turned out to be a normal teenager, but I didn't like his freckles. They look superfluous. She laughed very much on stage when Stepan scolded her son for a magazine with naked girls: ' It's disgusting, it's disgusting. I've been flipping midnight!' My son can't, and Dad read the magazine to the holes! Well, funny Lenchik rattles on the guitar and composes songs. It also made me smile.
It is a pity that Nagiyev and Rostok did not shoot together anymore. They created a great comedy duo and complemented each other perfectly. Individually, they were unable to play comic roles. Yes, and Nagiyev continued 'Modern' it was boring and flat.
Precisely ' Careful, Art Nouveau 2' was the funniest comedy show of those years.
The younger generation saw Nagiyev in the role of Fizruk, and also repeatedly noticed him in MTS advertising. But those who are older with a smile remember his warrant officer Zadov from ' Careful, modern 2'.
Episode 21: How Stepan Became a Millionaire
Caution, modern! 2
One of the funniest Russian TV series. Growth and Nagiyev created a real miracle. The duo was very cool, complementing each other. Yes, they had several joint projects before the second “Modern”, but it was here, absolutely subjectively, Nagiyev and Rost were able to reach the stars.
Episode 94, guys. Put your hand on your heart, 50-60 pieces – masterpieces! Seriously, I was surprised by this quality product. I didn’t really like the episodes, when Dima and Sergey went outside the legendary house (in St. Petersburg, it seemed, filmed), where their heroes live. That is, series in nature - 54, 55, 82, 83. But even there, you could laugh.
I understand that this is farce, kitsch, nonsense and thrash (whatever you want to call it). I don't care, because men can laugh to tears. Three families and a huge house. Every family tears apart. You choose! Family number one - Ensign Zadov, wife Nina, son Pashka, daughter Tanka. Add mistress Claudius and mother-in-law Nastasya Filippovna.
Family number two - botanist Peter Semenovich, proctologist Zinaida Petrovna (sometimes Ivanovna, not particularly followed patronymics) and the son of Sergei "Buldozer". Family number three - drunken Stepan, wife Lucia (sex bomb, a-ha-ha), son Lenchik "Beauty". Somewhere in the middle of the series will appear ensign Pastushenko with his daughter and girlfriend Galina.
I love them with every fiber of my soul. They're so cool, each in their own way. And of course, do not forget about the secondary heroes - the commander, police officer, janitor (still cleaned the bench, understood - a ha ha, a plague janitor) and General Siska (actually he is Sisko, so he hates when he is called a ha ha).
It's a shame they broke up. There is no alternative. Nagiyev tried to play Zadov without Growth, but it turned out a pathetic parody of "Caution, modern! 2". He wrote about it in the review on "Caution, Zadov! or the Adventures of the warrant officer." And even now, you start watching some "Fizruk", this TV series stands before your eyes. Amazing...
Forget the logic. Forget the meaning (although sometimes they were damn wise and soulful, see episodes 44, 46, 56, 76, 89). Just relax and plunge into a very fun world. My childhood. I highly recommend it!
P.S.
Lucia! Death came to us at night, but I told her you weren't home. What do you mean? – Aha, you have to write down every sentence.
8.5 out of 10
The project of the channel CTC "Caution, modern-2" in full seriousness is the Russian "South Park"! In addition, it is a one-of-a-kind sitcom in which, first of all, there is nothing banal and template, unlike the current “Voronins”, going on the same channel.
And “Caution, Modern 2” and “South Park” have a lot in common, in particular the rude ridicule of Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden was in both series, in both they appear as one of the heroes. As well as an abundance of black humor, touching on global world topics, corruption, politics, stereotypes, our lives, and colorful characters whose names have become household names. And although "Modern-2" existed for 3 years, and "South Park" is released for almost 20 years, our series is still created for centuries!
The fact that it is shot in technical terms semi-professional (low image quality, sound from an external microphone, simple makeup, weak lighting, etc.) only gives it a kind of grotesque. Everything in our country has always been semi-professional. “Modern” is a reflection of our lives!
Reviewing this wonderful series, with surprise and joy you find that it is not boring. On the contrary, each series is like a new one. And the same laughter through tears!
Dima Nagiev and Sergey Rost created an unprecedented comedian-duo. So many roles and so beautiful to play - not every actor is given. And the peculiarity of this series is also that the plot unfolds within a specific family - it means that you need not just play and forget, but get used to the role, start living the life of the characters. This Dima and Seryozhya turned out great! They also created convincing female images that can be put on a par with Donna Rosa Kalyagina, with Dorothy Dustin Hoffman.
The series ridicules vices, bigotry, impenetrable stupidity, stupidity, which affects all layers of society.
It seems to me that for one such series, both actors are entitled to the title of People’s Artist of Russia, or even of all times and peoples. It's a pity we can't do that again. The series is gone and frozen like a butterfly in amber. A magnificent duo broke up... Time is merciless.
Just an opinion. I do not know about other citizens of our vast homeland, but for many residents of St. Petersburg this series was (is) the most native and beloved. With the problems encountered in the families of Zadov, Traktorenko, etc. everyone is familiar - from the boy who barely learned to stand on his feet to the elder who has already begun to forget how it is done. Personally, he is forever imprinted in my memory as an example of “satire without toilet”. Surprisingly, the series is completely smooth and stable. It almost does not have unsuccessful episodes, but there are many simply brilliant in the plot and performance.
Heroes. Among them, of course, the ensign Zadov stands out, whose popularity allowed him to even become the hero of his own private series, which, incidentally, was not too successful. For in the absence of growth is lost humor, based precisely on grotesque and exaggeration. Nagiyev, who stood up in the whole "His Growth" suddenly lost greatness, for it turned out that there was no measure (in the person of Growth). But the other characters are not far behind. Take at least Stepan - a local alcoholic, throwing winged phrases ("Vodka is evil"). I don't drink. I don't drink. Just ketchup! I am sure that every viewer will find a close hero.
Implementers. I think it would not be an exaggeration to say that two people, Rost and Nagiyev, accomplished a feat. Of course, no one argues that a truly heroic act is to rush at the enemy with a grenade in his hands and die for his homeland. But. Let us look at the people who keep us in peace. Showing that reality is turned upside down, and the world and people around us are crazier than ever (let’s not forget that the series was shot in the late 1990s), they kind of build a roof over our heads and make sure that it does not go and leak. Isn't that a feat?
Humor. Special attention should be paid to jokes that successfully fit into the speech of the main characters. Many of them are either based on absurdity (subtle humor) or even have a hidden character (ultra-subtle humor). Looking closely at other comedy series, we find that they ridicule absolutely ALL, leaving no stone unturned from religion, morality, politics, etc. “Caution Modern” focuses primarily on our petty vices, not world problems. While the former, having stained and denigrated the surrounding reality, actually relieve themselves of all responsibility, OM appeals to our universal qualities.
Distinguishing devils. Take a look and see how deeply each character is written. In whatever situation he finds himself, he always remains himself and acts "at his own discretion." In most foreign and American TV series, the characters themselves are only appendages of any comic situation, and their powerlessness in front of it causes laughter from the viewer. Consideration of character as such does not occur, such a task is not even set, simply because the character has long been lost abroad (a phenomenon that is expected in our country in the near future). But the heroes of Rost and Nagiyev are everywhere and always (whether during the arrival of aliens, being taken hostage by terrorists, when meeting with angels or agents of foreign intelligence), ready to defend their individuality! It feels like they would rather die or go mad, but not let the situation prevail and crush them as individuals. It is their perseverance that both delights and laughs at the same time. Is it not obvious after that the fundamental difference of this series from the others, where first of all the attempts of the character to defend himself (or his little complex or punctuation), met with laughter and disapproval, are ridiculed.
For all this, the series deserves the title of a native Russian and ardently (and rightfully) beloved.
Careful, Modern! 2 is one of my favorite Russian TV series. Like many others, I think this series is the best.
This series appeared after "Caution, Modern!" and "Full Modern!". They were a little weak, but this series turned out better than these series. Here the main roles are played by only two actors (and they are honored actors of our country) - Dmitry Nagiyev and Sergey Rost.
The series takes place in St. Petersburg, on the street of the Red Moldavian partisans, where the main characters of the series live - 3 families: Zadov, Traktorenki and Smorkovichov. Of the main characters, I personally liked ensign Vasily Zadov, botanist Peter Semyonovich Traktorenko and alcoholic Stepan Smorkovichev. Of the secondary characters, I liked the commander, ensign Pastushenko, General Siska, janitor Uncle Fedya, the administrator of the Apollons and mother-in-law Zadov.
The jokes there are great and funny. some of the phrases from the series generally went to the people. For example:
Petersburgers, let us not be silent! (c) The janitor Uncle Fedya
- My fucking family. (c) Ensign of Asads
- It doesn't hurt, and the chicken is happy. (c) Alcoholic Stepan
In the end, 'Careful, modern! 2′ is one of the best Russian TV series. I recommend watching it. It'll be funny.
