    finally...

    If you liked the first movie you will definitely like this one... It's worth to be watched.. sure better after seeing the first part... some things never get old... this one won't also... :-) the old actors are all there... the mood is there... its funny.. its romantic.. music is fantastic.. it brings good and nice feelings.. memories.. really do not agree with the Canadian critic above that "If there is one lesson that could be drawn from this movie, it is this: do not touch old Soviet classics! Does anyone really think it is possible to produce a sequel to a movie thirty years after it came out on the screens? " sure its possible.. anything is possible..Come on man.. what do you know about the feeling of old soviet movies..? am not from Russia.. still.. if you know the language and are able to enjoy a good movie.. you will definitely enjoy this one..

    Soviet fairy tail

    Personally, I thought that this movie will be а usual fake оf the first part. Thanks god that I was wrong! The second part has fanny dialogs, nice songs, good actors, New Year's magic and happy ending – all that what we liked so much in the firs part. I very much enjoyed the plot; It is closely connected with the first movie but is interesting and surprising. The atmosphere in the cinema during the film was fantastic – the move helped people to feel the beginning of the celebration.

    I should recognize, that the film is close only to the Soviet spectator. Most people, not knowing Russian traditions simply will not understand details which are so important. The idea, the characters - all this strongly influences those to whom the concept of wide soul is close. Acting is great...the main hero is a real «nice very nice gay», which you will like and a girl in the movie is gorgeous!!! The film is worth seen: it will make you laugh at the beginning and cry at the end. Only one thing is not liked by me – it is the mixture of styles in camera work. Also advertising in the movie is too obvious and annoys.

    Concerning everything, it is a great present for New Year!

    Watchable

    I would not say that the movie is awful, it is alright, but I would not call it a "sequel", which implies continuation of some story line. This is a modern remake, a very popular method among some producers and directors, who want to capitalize on the old idea and get some cash without spending too much time on a script.

    The "sequel" copies the scenes from the first movie one after another. They even left the car crash scene! Come on, you could be more creative than that..

    New actors play well, old ones are OK, but they do not really contribute to the movie, mostly serving as a background for attracting older generation to the screen.

    I think that a lot of people who posted comments on this website got annoyed by the above facts and gave movie extremely low votes.

    However, there are good things about the film too.

    First of all - this is my personal opinion with which you can disagree - there are no long and boring songs in the sequel.

    Secondly, it is good to see even a slight attempt to try and make a good movie. Of course, today's filmmakers are far from Gaydai and Riazanov, but still it is better than the stupidity of "The Best Movie".

    Finally, I should say that most of young people - I am talking about 20-25 year old - liked the movie. Hence there is a hope that future generations will appreciate classics and won't degrade to monkey level.

    That is why it is 5 from me

    Not a sequel but an independent movie

    This movie should be considered not as a sequel but as an independent movie. This way it's more or less OK. I haven't expected much from the movie that's why I wasn't disappointed. I can say for sure it's not going to be a new classics though. While watching the movie I forgot sometimes that I was watching a romantic comedy… so many special effects made this movie look like Nightwatch. Advertising of Toyota and Beeline was so obvious and so annoying. Actors weren't very convincing. The only reason I'll probably watch the Irony of Fate-2 for the second time for is Liza Boyarskaya. She's gorgeous!!! I absolutely like her but not her acting in that movie though.

    Bad

    The movie is not really fun to watch, because originally the movie was really good it had a meaning, this movie? Its like someone just copy pasted the whole thing and just added some new charecters. The soviet times was really good for movies, they made sense had diffrent endings, but nowadays there is just some guy that messes up, something bad happens then they save the day, and thats it. I mean all the movies nowadays arent that bad, its just that people have to stop making sequels of good movies like these. They are originals!!!!!
