Reading the previous comment made me to write my own. Well, most American musicals make me sick with a small exception of "Singing in the Rain". I believe, it just a different culture, so unless you are into the Russian-Soviet culture don't even dream of understanding these four Russian musicals.

The sole purpose of these movies is to make a New Year show consisting the songs that were popular among ordinary people. Sorry, no RAP or Jazz or Britney Spears in here.

I grade this movie at 8, since there is always some room for improvement. However, it is one of the best New Year shows for people, who remember USSR.
