On August 1, 2020, after a quarantine related to COVID-19, four months after closing, cinemas opened in Russia. The first Russian post-quarantine premiere was the Happy End comedy, which was filmed in Thailand.

As the filmmakers note, the film unwittingly has a very symbolic background. This is also the name that got exactly on today's agenda. The most incredible thing is that the script for the film was written fifteen years ago, the money for the production was received in 2015, and the film itself was shot two years ago, in the summer of 2018.

The light, bright and romantic comedy "Happy End", which was not without dramatic moments, is a story about how you need to be able to let go of your past and live in the present, no matter how old you are. The prototype of Xenophon, the main character of the comedy, was the father of screenwriter Konstantin Charmadov.

According to the plot, the action of the picture unfolds on the picturesque seaside of the Gulf of Thailand, where an elderly man wakes up on a luxurious beach. The old man woke up without money and documents, and most importantly, he does not even remember his name and the reason why he was far away from home.

The Russian pensioner is not entirely friendly. Trying to find answers to his questions, Senafon (this is how the Thais pronounce the name of the protagonist) quarrels with local fishermen and ends up in the police, from where he is sent to undergo correctional labor for 21 days in a small hotel of the Russian emigrant Irina Lvovna.

The unfamiliar conditions in which Senafon fell will allow him to escape from the grief that he lived in recent years, since he lost his wife four years ago. And they will also teach him to be not only strong, but also kind, understanding and courteous.

Initially, the producers invited Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Jean Reno, Bill Murray and Jonathan Banks to play the main role, but they could not agree with them due to the difficult schedule.

To add even more color, he makes acquaintance with the attractive and equally restless loner Sarah. But the girl is not satisfied with this sunny holiday at all. Sarah doesn't need eternity to learn to live in the here and now, so she's looking for a way to end Groundhog Day.

• Country Russia
• Rating: on "KinoPoisk" - 7, 3; viewers - 6, 5
• Duration: 110 minutes
• Age limit: 16+

Among the best comedies of 2020, which have already been released in good quality, there is the film "Kakha Directly", in the genre of mocumentari (pseudo-documentary stories). According to the actor and screenwriter Artyom Kalaydzhyan, the film is based on true, but exaggerated stories that took place in real life.

The plot of the comedy is uncomplicated, one might even say that it does not exist. You will simply watch the "heroic" everyday life of the Sochi lawless man Kakha, who lives by his own ideas and finds himself in ridiculous situations with his friends: simple-minded Sergo, wise toastmaster Muzyka, bustling taxi driver Yerevan and policeman Zhulverik smoking grass.

To win the heart of beautiful Sophie, Kakha has to overtake a “serious German” (brand new BMW) rival with his rusty “kopeck” and betray his old friend.

Eight years have passed since the release of the first season of the comedy series Kakha Directly. Over time, a non-standard, risky project with harsh humor, profanity, with characters silly to charm grew into a full-length film of the same name. The film's producers claim that this is the first time in the world that an Internet project has been shown in cinemas.

In a romantic comedy, the owner of a five-star hotel in the capital of Serbia, the merry fellow Pasha lives happily ever after, not knowing troubles: long-legged beauties, cool cars. Until one not very beautiful evening his life turns upside down. One awkward move at a party, and Duchamp's Fountain, the property of local mafia collector Dushan, is blown to smithereens.

In payment of a multimillion-dollar debt, the crime boss forces a handsome hotelier to marry his daughter, who has long been eager to chain the Serbian macho to herself with the bonds of Hymen.

But here on the horizon of Pasha again appears the Russian girl Dasha, with whom he was madly in love four years ago. Finding himself in a difficult situation, the hero Milos is trying to find the most correct way out, passing through a string of ridiculous and comical situations.

Milos Bikovich starred not only in the title role, but also co-produced the film for the first time. According to the actor, “Hotel Belgrade” has become a kind of tourist business card of Serbia, a country that has preserved its identity and culture for many centuries.

We continue the list of the best comedies of 2020, which have already been released in good quality, as a vivid representative of the crime drama in the genre of surreal black humor comedy "Inner Fire". It reflects the life of the 2000s in Russia as it was.

The film was produced by a former judge and senator, vice-president of the Federal Union of Lawyers of Russia Yevgeny Tarlo. He also plays one of the main roles - “a cheerful pensioner”.

In the luxurious St. Petersburg apartment of the former drug lord, played by rapper Husky, four strangers meet. One of them came to ask for a large amount of money, another - a weapon, the third for the purpose of blackmail, and the fourth - to kill one of the guests.

Word for word and what at first began as a harmless conversation between strangers turns into a "serious" conversation with a flurry of ridicule and insults at each other.

• Duration: 95 minutes
• Age restrictions: 12+

Another one of the best comedies of 2020 that has already come out in good quality. From the name "Marathon of Desires", in principle, everything is clear - this is a "miraculous" story about a girl who rushes headlong towards her own happiness.

According to the plot of the comedy, a real coach for personal growth Elena Blinovskaya must help simpleton Marina with the fulfillment of seven cherished desires. However, everything went wrong. At Pulkovo airport, the last plane ticket to Khanty-Mansiysk is picked up by the charming cook Sasha, acquaintance with whom will change the priorities of the eccentric provincial.

Real bosses

• Country: USA
• Rating: on "KinoPoisk" - 5, 4; viewers - 5, 0
• Duration: 83 minutes
• Age restrictions: 12+

The film "Real Bosses" is a rare combination of production farce with a gentle romantic comedy about women who have been friends for several decades.

Inseparable girlfriends have been obsessed with the idea of joint business for many years. While others marry profitably, got families and gave birth to heirs, the characters Byrne and Haddish stubbornly moved towards their cherished goal of opening their own store selling self-made cosmetics and creating their own hit in the beauty market.

However, each co-founder understood tactics and strategy in her own way. One planned to "row the bucks with a shovel", the second - to be considered a businesswoman, even without income at all.

The production of the film began in 2017, and at first the comedy had the working title "Limited Partners", but then it was changed to a more grossing one. Filming began in October 2018, and then the project waited a long time in order to start in January 2020 in the United States.

The last on the list of the best comedies of 2020 that have already come out in good quality is "(NOT) the perfect man." According to the plot of a fantastic comedy, Svetlana is unlucky in her personal life, and she falls in love with the “defective” humanoid robot I Friend, which is endowed with the ability to feel the fears and fears of people.

The defective cyborg is going to be returned to the factory due to a software failure. However, the girl leaves the "102nd error" (this is how the malfunction was diagnosed) with herself, which leads to unpredictable consequences. In fact, “(NOT) an ideal man” is a parable where very important truths of the relationship between a man and a woman are hidden behind a fairy tale plot.

Yegor Creed played the main character, a robot-“ifrenda” - this is the rapper's debut in a big movie.
