Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Humor of the high quality. 3 independent novellas based on the short stories of Michail Zoschenko, the leading voice of laugh in the former Soviet Union, who was persecuted by the authorities in 1950's.
