The opening and closing scenes - the monkey walk sequences - are among the most ineptly done in history.The landing scene is pure playing on emotions with no art thrown in... all done in very poor taste with barrels of red paint needlessly wasted. I hope it didn't get any greens up in arms.
The rest of it is simply idiotic. The basic plot and the pukily-sentimental kaka and overcooked kasha spread all over the clean table cloth (borrowing the famous critic's phrase).
It is real shame that movie was made and promoted as it was.
Just my 2 rubles... as they say.
