With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among people who'll be humming afterwards and anyone in the mood for a love story, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Liked Dinner in America? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 38 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Mr. Johnny First goes to the Wild West to present the art of the Cinematograph, and the lives of everyone in the frontier town of Santa Carolina change as a result of this.
