Vovochka (2002)
9/10
Vovochka
19 October 2007
This movie is about a young boy, Vovochka, who gets into trouble with his parents and with the local authorities. This movie takes place in a rural area of Russia where there are a lot rich families around. Vovochka's family consists of his mother, who is a stay at home mom and tries to keep Vovochka out of trouble, his father, who is in a special anti-terrorist branch of the military and is rarely home, and his grandmother, who exemplifies a traditional Russian grandma. The plot consists mainly of Vovochka doing things that get him into trouble and then his attempts to get out of trouble. That sounds like the plot for every movie from this genre but this movie stuck out to me because of all the subplots. The way that the director added things to the story like how the father wasn't home, or how Vovochka was forbidden to play with his neighbor because Vovochka was a "bad" kid really made this more then just a children's movie. Those are just a few examples of what made this movie such a joy to watch. I would recommend this movie to everyone because you will not be disappointed.
