I'm still trying to figure out what happened - everyone around me was laughing hysterically in the movie theater, but I was completely lost. The state of Russian cinema is in shambles.
summarizeEditor's Summary
I recently had the misfortune of watching The Best Day, a 2015 Russian comedy that left me scratching my head. The plot follows Petya Vasutin, an average Joe who meets a great girl while drunk and proposes to her, only to have things take a drastic turn when he meets pop star Alina Shepot. The movie had everyone around me laughing hysterically, but I was completely lost. The state of Russian cinema is in shambles, and this film is a perfect example of why I just don't get it. The movie tries to balance humor and heart, but it falls flat with a convoluted plot, slow pacing, and underdeveloped characters.

Hello everyone!
I've been there before, feeling like a white crow. Especially when it comes to Russian comedies. You're walking out of the cinema with your friends, and everyone's raving about the movie, while you're just as confused as I was.
That's exactly how I felt about the film The Best Day. I know I'm not the only one who loves it, but I'm going to trash it anyway.
The Best Day, 2015.
The Best Day (2015, film)♥ Plot
Petya Vasutin is an average Joe who loves to party. One day, he meets a great girl while drunk, and that's how their relationship starts. Petya proposes to Olya, but things take a drastic turn when he meets pop star Alina Shepot...
The Best Day (2015, film)
The Best Day (2015, film)So, if I'm being brutally honest, there's no real plot here.
The Best Day (2015, film)
The Best Day (2015, film)What's there? There are songs (I'll get to the film format later), endless partying on screen, and stupid jokes that are just plain lowbrow. That's it.
The Best Day (2015, film)
The Best Day (2015, film)I remember the hype surrounding this movie when it first came out. The advertising was really effective, and I recall the tagline "first karaoke movie." My friends were so convincing that I ended up going to the cinema with them.
The Best Day (2015, film)
The Best Day (2015, film)The cinema was packed (the advertising did its job, and people were going to the movies more often back then). People around me were laughing uncontrollably, while I was just confused about what was going on.
The Best Day (2015, film)I'm not a prude, but the jokes in this movie were really lowbrow and so cringeworthy that it wasn't even funny. The moment when Borysky (yes, Borysky) appeared with shampoos and said he loves putting them in... was just too much for me.
It was already over the line.
The Best Day (2015, film)
To be honest, the movie was just boring. I have to admit that fact. The Best Day (2015, film) I loved the atmosphere in this film. One thing that's up for debate is whether the shaky camera was a good choice. On the one hand, it added to the light, summery feel of the movie. The cinematography was beautiful, especially when they depicted winter scenes. It was like a breath of fresh air.
The Best Day (2015, film)But on the other hand, that shaky camera drove me crazy. I get that it was necessary for the story, but it was really annoying and didn't sit well with me.
The Best Day (2015, film)
The Best Day (2015, film)The soundtrack was amazing, by the way. I mean, who doesn't love a good mix of old and new hits? The songs were catchy and beautifully performed.
The Best Day (2015, film)
The Best Day (2015, film)But did the shaky camera and soundtrack really make the film better? In my opinion, no. I think they just didn't belong in the story.
The Best Day (2015, film) Heroes
A little about the main characters.
Petya. The main hero. From my point of view, a reckless drunkard who simply can't control himself and stop in principle. And he also has a position corresponding to that.
The Best Day (2015, film) Nagiev is definitely suitable for this role. But who said that's a plus?
The Best Day (2015, film) Olya. Good girl Olya. Young and beautiful, kind and genuine. Olya is just the kind of mystery that Petya found in her for me.
The Best Day (2015, film) The acting overall is pretty good.
The Best Day (2015, film) And in general, the acting ensemble here is fantastic. From the old guard to relatively young actors - all stars. But honestly, the participation of such questionable projects by people like Churikova and Boyarsky is a minus for me rather than a plus. I've already written about shampoos...
The Best Day (2015, film) Morality
I have to say, after watching this, I'm blown away. I don't even want to think about the finale or the overall ending.
The Best Day (2015, film)It's like a complete degradation of the plot and characters.
The Best Day (2015, film)I'd give it 2 stars, and that's being generous. It's only because of the few bright moments and the music I loved.
Thanks for joining me, everyone! It's been ♥ Neonya
