"Love-carrot" (2007): actors. "Love-Carrot": the main actors

"Love Carrots" (2007) - the first significant attempt of Russian cinema to copy and adapt to the domestic mentality the popular once-Hollywood idea of the exchange of bodies. On the one hand - it's a comic film about the uneasy everyday life of a married couple - Marina (Kristina Orbakaite) and Andrei (Gosha Kutsenko), and on the other - a real parody of X on Western paintings. Parody was brought to the viewer by four screenwriters, a director, actors. "Love-carrot" - an uncomplicated Russian comedy about the exchange of bodies.

Elements of a parody

In the narrative narrative it is easy to find quotes from the famous sagas about the mafia (The Godfather, Leon), references to Mr and Mrs. Smith, Day Watch and Harry Potter. Simultaneously, the plot contains moments that demonstrate a parody of modern life in general and individuals in particular. For example, the lawyer Aristarkhov, who was personally played by project director Alexander Strizhenov, immediately causes certain associations. And the episode in which Andrei (already in Marina's body) tells about the picture, resembles an excerpt from a work written in 1910 by A. Averchenko "The Story of a Painting". All references and parody moments are unobtrusive and amusing, thanks to the harmony that perfectly composed actors make up. "Love-carrots" turned out to be an original film, because even a well-known plot, used in Hollywood, in Russian realities acquires a unique specificity.

Plot

Life kills the love of the Golubevs' spouses, the passion is gone, it was pushed aside by the career, friends, personal interests and everyday routine. They often swear on trifles and spend very little time together. On the horizon loomed the prospect of divorce. To save the family, the couple goes to a consultation with the family psychologist Kogan. As it turned out, the doctor saves family relations in a very unconventional way. In the morning Marina and Andrew wake up and find that they have changed their bodies. As a result, after a mad cycle of ridiculous and curious situations, the marriage manages to be saved. This "happy end", only in Russian, gave the audience the main actors. "Love-carrot" - a wonderful film for family viewing, which carries a deep sense of life - try at least a little to live the life of your beloved half.

Cast

Acting casting is very important for the customer and the director, if an error is made in the casting of actors, this can affect all the work in the future. By right, the comedy "Love-Carrot" can be proud of its star-performers. Actors and roles so impressed the viewer that they became instantly recognizable. Charming and popular Gosha Kutsenko and the charming Christina Orbakajte were elegantly complementing each other. Their creative duet can, without exaggeration, be called ideal. The whole family of director Alexander Strizhenov also took part in the film : the wife Ekaterina embodied the image of Korogodsky's wife on the screen, and the mother Love - played the role of a caring grandmother, and her own granddaughter. The youngest daughter of Alexander, undoubtedly, received the audience prize in the category "Love-carrot": actors-children ", performing the role of a toddler appearing in the right place at the right time.

Here is a family mezhdusoboychik with a spray of advertising. In addition, Renat Davletyarov - one of the film's producers, drew his wife Olga Orlova to work on the project , which played a close friend of the main character. No less important role played by the rest of the actors. "Love-carrot", having an intriguing history, could not lose because of the secondary characters. Most of them moved from the previous Strizhenov project "From 180 and up": Evgeny Stychkin, Euclid Kurdzidis, and Ivan Urgant was replaced by his father - Andrei Urgant.

disadvantages

To the scenario, you can make many claims, even if you do not take into account the borrowing of the idea itself. Frankly tiresome is the strong imposition of product placement, which comes to direct quotes from commercials. Also a naive little girl with an adult morality, a strongly crumpled finale and moralizing at the end of the film. At the beginning of the picture, the image of Marina was built somehow vaguely, Kutsenko wanted to convey to the viewer a completely different female character, quite different from that demonstrated by Marina at the beginning. Well, the other characters are also not perfect. Nevertheless, they formed the basis of the picture "Love-carrot". Actors and roles were perceived by the viewer positively, which became a logical motivation for the release of the second and third parts. The continuations are clearly inferior to the original picture, but after all, comedies should not burden the viewer in any way.

Generalization

But, despite all the above shortcomings, the film looks nice and easy. Most of this contributed to the pair Orbakaite and Kutsenko. The actors of the film "Love-carrot" tried to be famous. The view was captivating so much that the scenario blur became invisible.
