Perfect cast and a good story
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
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.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
This gem is one of the few Russian comedies that has legs. It is indeed funny and the story is universal.Everyone seems to be having fun and it is easy to tell why. It is a pity that it seldom, if ever, can be found screening in the West The story is simple: Three petty crooks are mistaken for three famous Shakespearean actors and, when they are taken to a small town, must put on a production of Othello. Of course, no one knows a line of the play. The play is presented in front of a distinguished audience which includes the three real actors, the police and the women who the three crooks robbed. The production is hilarious. Check it out.
