Comedy Dmitry Dyachenko "What do men", probably, and was filmed for men was something to talk about. At least, in many forums on the internet do not cease passion about how it turned out in the end: send or ironic, wise or empty. Women in this debate are irreconcilable denouncer of men - of course, the defenders. The premiere of the film on the big screen took place on 4 March 2010.

This film - a cinematic work of another comic theater "Quartet", which consists of Leonid Baratz, Alexander Demidov, Kamil Larin and Rostislav Hait. Funny performances and humorous radio programs have brought the team their considerable popularity. Maitre conversational genre Gennady Khazanov called "Quartet" "quartet intellectuals." It resulted in the admiration of the ability of the actors to create really funny things and do not stoop to the "seamy side" of political jokes and lampoons "below the belt".

But in the movie by Dmitry Dyachenko Funny quartet just is all over and tried. Or almost everything. Anyway, in the category "below the belt" there is clearly practiced creativity in full. Still, the title of the film a great responsibility: Well, there are no real men, chastely avoid talking 'about it. "

Children under 16 do not need it

The theater "Quartet" and has the same performance, but the film version turned out somewhat shorter: the performance is almost two and a half hours, and the film and does not hold up to two. But perhaps it made it more succinct and concise. Incidentally, the name for the film images also had to cut back because it originally was called staging "Conversations middle-aged men about women, film and aluminum forks".

"Middle age" may have cut out the title and should not be. This reference would help to deal with the age categories of potential viewers. Rate film appreciated, of course, can only those who themselves have already experienced the middle age. And for all the youth of discussion of the usefulness of the Nazis and the analogy between women and forks will remain "gesture".

In the story of four friends-friend go to "jeep" in Odessa for the concert of group "B-2". So they decided to spend a weekend, escaped from their wives, mistresses and business partners. Baratz, Demidov, Larin and Chait are four common male type. One of the characters - a dedicated womanizer, the ability to judge women only by the length of their legs and short supporter relations. Another - jaded bachelor freedom in the process of moral training to family ties. The third can not choose between his wife and mistress, and the fourth holds the image of the faithful and jealous husband. However, common themes for conversations they are many.

Costs realism

Besides the "Quartet", the film employs many iconic figures of Russian cinema. Here and Nonna Grishaeva and Nina Ruslanova and Sergei Nikonenko and even Zhanna Friske, who plays herself. For the singer, this picture was the third item in the personal cult filmography after the "Night Watch" and "Day Watch".

Himself loved ones portrayed as a sports commentator Vasily Utkin, musicians Andrei Makarevich and Alexei Kortnev actor Oleg Menshikov. Why Dmitry Dyachenko took to enter into a movie as a cameo for the majority of the audience had remained a mystery. Perhaps he would thus make the spectacle more realistic. Another version - just paid tribute to a kind of cinematic fashion. It has a rare filmmaker resist the temptation to screw into the story a couple of cameo, though sometimes this technique lowers the overall quality director's work to the level of kitsch. Dyachenko in this sense also somewhat overdone.

And yet, whatever it was, the movie is good is the fact that he vividly highlights the difference between men: the way they want to appear, and for what they really are. It is not necessary for them to find fault. After all, without men - temperamental and sometimes dreamy, boring and roguish, adventurous and unbearable - oddly, life would be boring and monotonous.
