Classic love story. As a foreigner who's never been to Russia, I feel like I got a great look around the city without actually going there. Masha and Maksim seemed like they travelled from one side of the city to the other. St. Petersburg has the feeling of a lot of years that our cities here in America really don't have.
Every time that Masha and Maksim passed each other you always wanted to hit them upside the head for passing each other. I mean come on, when they passed each other on the bridge they held each others stare for a good hundred feet. How does Maksim not do a 180 and go talk to her? The characters did seem to be a good fit for each other. They were both slobs in a way. Maksims apartment was filled with his drawings and Masha had a turtle in her office.
I didn't feel like there was a whole lot of depth to the movie. I did become slightly concerned when the phone was dropped into the river. The way that they did end up finding each other was picture perfect though. It's one of those stories that they'll always remember. I was really impressed with Maksims perseverance to get the phone back to her. I don't know that most people would care that much or be that honest.
