The film "8 new appointments": reviews and actors

The release of this Russian comedy of 2014 was expected by all those who liked the prequel. The story of Vera and Nikita, who incredibly every time wake up in the same bed, appears in a different light - they are willing to risk the very best that they have, for the ideal, built in fantasy. Is it worth changing what you have? The idea and success of the domestic comedy of 2014, as well as the actors of the film "8 New Visits" will become the main characters of our article.

Sequel for the sake of the prequel

If the first part of the story of Vera and Nikita had not started so successfully in 2012, the creators would not have thought about its possible continuation. The concept of the film includes all the components of a successful Russian comedy, which are sometimes shot in the domestic rental. Considering that David Dodson and Marius Weisberg, who made a contribution to the creation of the Love in the Big City franchise, took up the production of "8 new visits", the success of the future picture was predetermined at the initial stages of its production.

The idea of creating a continuation

The audience who fell in love with the first part, remember the strange and comical adventures of Vera and Nikita, strangely in the same bed. To attract viewers to the sequel could only be a cardinal revolution of the plot. In this case, one should not go away from the key concept, which contained the first film. "The 8 new first dates" take the viewer into the midst of family life, when each couple passes the test of time. The main characters in the next quarrel throw each other hints at the inconsistency of the standards of the ideal husband and wife. The magic reappears in the storyline, and Vera and Nikita wake up in the same bed with the ideals they dreamed of. The girl is surrounded by the love of a businessman, and a man in the prime of his life sees a smiling but stupid blonde with lush forms. Is this true love true? Magical reincarnations will force the spouses to reconsider their positions in relation to the institution of marriage.

More fans - more chances for success

The idea to remove the continuation of the story of Vera and Nikita could not help but reflect on the mood of the fans, with whom the first part managed to acquire. In their responses, they talked about the pleasure received from viewing, and hoped that this would happen with the second part. As they worked on it, they were interested in many questions. How did they shoot "8 new dates"? Do all the artists from the first part return to the film? Who will give the secondary roles?

A marketing course for success in favor of

Production of the second part was planned almost immediately after the predecessor film showed a good result at the box office. The recoupment of the budget, coupled with profit, almost immediately gives rise to the intention of the creators to release a sequel, which in our case was the film "8 New Visits." Reviews of the sequel were yet to be collected, and the distributors were already thinking about how they could not lose with the release date. As a result, it was decided to release the continuation on January 1, 2015, which contributed to a large stream of viewers going to theaters during the New Year holidays. Was it successful? Definitely yes. With a budget of 2.5 million spent, the fees amounted to over $ 7 million. This, you will agree, is a good indicator for the domestic cinema. Will the "8 new visits" cause the producers to think about the trikvela, time will tell, and a little later we will analyze the success of the picture in terms of audience recognition.

Lure and make laugh

Among the components of the success of any film is a worthy ensemble cast. This postulate of the film industry is especially relevant when it comes to comedy projects. The ability to laugh is not solely on the shoulders of writers. Even with a weak scenario, the comedic tinge should reflect the performers of the main roles. The actors of the film "8 New Visits" coped with this task because they are all representatives of the direction of comedians.

The native of Sochi Michael Galustyan has long subdued Russia, first of all, as part of the KVN team "Burnt by the Sun". We all remember his bright numbers, including the lost Gady Petrovich Khrenov and the atypical representative of Tajikistan Ravshan from the project "Our Russia". For his work, Galustyan, who does not have a special acting education, starred in several domestic comedies in an exceptionally humorous direction: "The Best Film", "Eggs of Destiny", "Zaitsev + 1", "Vegas Ticket", "Nanny", "Pregnant "," A gift with a character. " Michael, who is also a producer, also became the face of Russian voice acting Panda Po from the animation "Kung Fu Panda."

From a big city to a family life

Born in 1978, Mikhail Zelensky for a long time remained a Ukrainian showman in his homeland. Few know that he is the founder of "Quarter-95". The studio is engaged in the production of television programs and programs, and recently and films, including their partial production. In addition to participating in the KVN and "Dancing with the Stars," Michael devotes a lot of time to his acting. In 2009, he made his first major debut in the comedy "Love in the City". The dentist Igor got accustomed, having moved to the next two sequels. Marius Weisberg, who put this franchise, saw in Zelensky the main character for his future project "8 first dates". The audience's comments greeted the amusing veterinarian Nikita in Michael's performance, but noted that he, in turn, is similar to the dentist Igor. To the majority of projects in which Zelensky takes part, he put his hand as a screenwriter.

A teenage girl wins cinematography

For this Leningrad actress, the finest hour came at the age of thirteen. Then, going to Sergei Bodrov, Jr. at the casting of the drama "Sisters", she did not think that she would be lucky. How could an unattractive teenage girl have an interest, without the proper education, creative and life experience? However, this is exactly what Bodrov, Jr. was looking for. The picture was presented at the festival in Sochi, and Oksana Akinshina and Katya Gorina received the prize for the best duet.

Subsequent film works deserved higher cinematographic awards, and Oksana was spoken of as a promising starting star. In her almost thirty years, she starred in the same number of films, including "In Motion", "Lilya Forever", "Wolfhound." Of particular importance for the actress's work is the "Stilyagi" tape, which tells about the birth of a new subculture for the country of the 50s of the last century.

It was no surprise to anyone to find her in the main female role in the film "8 New Visits". Oksana Akinshina harmoniously alternates comedies with dramatic ones. In 2012 she played in the film "Vysotsky", followed by the comedy "Suicide". On set, the actress met Alexei Vorobyov. For a time, the couple met, experiencing in front of the public the separation and the attempt to start all over again. In general, the press does not cover Oksana's personal life for the first time. At different times, she met with Alexei Chadov, and after living with Sergei Shnurov, than surprised all his fans. Leaving the leader of the PR campaign, Akinshina associated herself with the producer Archil Gelovani, from whom she had a son.

A special place in the record of Akinshina is occupied by "8 new dates". The actress took a short break, connected with the birth of her second child and caring for him. For almost three years, she did not act in film, and returned to the screens with this film. Now Oksana again busy in the shoot. For the current and next year, the release of several paintings with her participation is planned.

The fourth will you?

The native of Moscow Polina Maksimova was born in the family of actors. Since school years, the girl knew what the future expects her, because she went to Shchepkinskoye College with complete confidence in their abilities. Her first television role was the princess Nesmeyana from the fairy tale "Adventures in the Thirtieth Kingdom". Since then, the young actress starred in a dozen of domestic paintings and serials, contrasting in various genres and images. Since 2012, Pauline is in the main part of the youth series "Deffchonka", broadcast on the channel TNT.

Having beaten other pretenders, the role of Cristina from "8 visits", a passionate object with magnificent forms, was received by Polina Maksimova. "8 new dates" became an important moment in the career of the girl, allowing her to hone her skills as a comedic actress. Prior to this film, it was shown just in the "Deffchonki", playing the windy beauty, the kept woman Lelyu.

"8 new dates" (2014): reviews of the audience

The picture mostly gathered positive assessments of viewers and critics. They noted that the sequel was not just a continuation of the first story, but its development and logical completion. At the same time, the dynamics of the plot turned out to be uneven: from quiet tranquility the main characters rush into a quarrel, and then quietly and peacefully restore relations. The four characters turned out to be harmonious thanks to the actors, in particular to Mikhail Galustyan and Polina Maksimova, who managed to give their characters color.

Oksana Akinshina, who perfectly harmonizes between dramatic and comedic images, admires her play in the film "8 New Visits." Comments of the audience remember several episodes, where she sincerely displays a spectrum of various human emotions. The image of Faith is a part of Oksana herself. As if the role was meant for her, and, perhaps, it really was. A young woman, striving for a normal family relationship with her beloved man (although it is far from being a gift, but still the only and native one), turned out to be unpredictable and easy, it definitely feels the highlight that should be in every woman. The soundtrack, which deserves more compositions, saves humor, as, for example, in the offscreen scenes shown after the credits.

Ideal people do not need to create

The key idea that the writers wanted to convey to the viewer was that it was not worth making someone out of what he was not. From their halves, people often try to "blind" the most optimal option for themselves. But what happens in practice?

To make sure of this, the "8 new dates" fit perfectly. Feedback from those who liked the picture, note that such different, but finding each other Vera and Nikita are the best option for each other. By and large, all their idealization boils down to empowering their partner with the qualities they would like to see. But will Vera be happy with a slightly preoccupied Timur, and Nikita with a stupid Christina? Is it worth it to look for your ideal or where is it more expedient to find yourself such a madman?

Have a nice evening view!

Does this idea have any idea? Or is it served as another comedy that has gathered a lot of funny moments, called to cheer? What is the main message of "8 new dates"?

The viewers' comments unanimously say that the meaning of the picture is the need to appreciate and respect the relations that are at the moment. Do not build unnecessary illusions or imagine someone else in the place of a loved one, since no one is better than the one who is near, you will not find. "8 new visits" did not come out as dynamic as expected, but no less vivid than many other domestic comedies. This film can not teach anything, but it's definitely a good way to spend an evening at the screen.
