Irony of Fate, Or Enjoy Your Bath!
After watching part two of the movie, I can't say I was surprised. The movie plot line has become well used in movies. The love drama that was there between Zhenya and Nadya was generic. Though I suppose it must be said that the movie was made a long time ago. The comedy that was used was timeless. I think many cultures would find it funny when Nadya wants to admit to her friends the true identity of "Ippolit" and Zhenya resists. The reversal of roles for that part was a nice twist. It was only a matter of time before Nadya admitted the love that was bubbling underneath the surface. It was slightly different for the man to admit what was there before the woman. That is not the common thing in American movies today. Overall the movie was entertaining which is perfect because that's all a movie is designed to do.

I agree with you that the film is undoubtedly about entertainment, first and foremost. But I still can't help deriving little messages (both optimistic and pessimistic) from many of the things that are said, particularly in the second half of the film.
