If nothing else, this movie is really nicely done, pleasant countryside to see, villages, towns in Belarus (or Russia?, I am not sure where) well chosen team of artists, some of them well known. Yet, story is poorly written and there's not really any twist or surprise, to put it mildly, it is really boring and predictable. Yes, we know it is low-cost production, but it is not an excuse for poor writing and dull story, it is really pity, since actresses and actors are almost all pleasant and nice. We can watch beautiful landscapes, but there's not interesing story. Real pity. I expected much more. I gave 2 stars only for great landscapes and cinematography, measurements between light and colours are well achieved. Once again, poor story and bad scenario.

nicely done cinematography, yet poor story
A Screwball Romantic Comedy - Cute but Shallow
5 stars. The movie makes it clear from the outset that it's a screwball romantic comedy. The male lead must soon pay $10K to some bad guys who threaten him. The female lead, a wealthy spoiled brat, is running away from an engagement she broke. They meet, and her father hires the man for $10K to return his daughter.
Thus starts a series of adventures and misadventures that follow the standard romcom formula: they start out quarrelling, their personalities clash, and she traipses around with him through the countryside in high heels - de rigueur for this genre.
The outline is very similar to the Mother of All Romcoms, It Happened One Night (1934),which deservedly gets an IMDb rating of 8.2. If the current movie had an IMDb rating, it would be much lower. It's kind of cute, kind of fun, watchable, and clearly low budget, but the romantic chemistry is weak, the characters are poorly developed, and the dialog is superficial even for this genre. I watched it to the end but couldn't give it more than five stars. You're taking a chance when you select these low cost productions without IMDb rating that your movie streaming provider licenses.
