Closer to the New Year, more and more I want warmth and family comfort. What could be better than watching your favorite series dedicated to this wonderful holiday. The film “New Year’s Matchmakers” (2011), whose actors received many awards for their legendary characters, came together again in order to please us with another full of humor masterpiece.
The plot of "New Year's matchmakers"
The film takes place in the village of Kuchugury, where the Budko family lives. The role of Ivan, as always, is played by Fedor Dobronravov, whose films are always distinguished by a special sense of humor. And Tatyana Kravchenko brilliantly got used to the image of his wife .
This year's winter turned out to be fierce, and on New Year's Eve all roads were covered with snow. All would be fine, but due to the revelry of the elements, many popular stars were stuck in the village, and did not reach their corporate parties and parties. The first group to appear in the frame is City-312. The artists are immediately noticed by an enterprising saleswoman and kindly offers them their services for a "symbolic" fee. Satisfied and warm artists generously give local residents both money and a song, and safely leave for their business in the van of one of the local drivers.
Meanwhile, despite the abundance of pop stars, the main roles of "New Year's matchmakers" still belong to the favorite characters - Ivan and Valentina Budko, as well as Olga and Yuri Kovalyov. The Budko family decides to spend this New Year modestly, without frills, in peace and quiet. Valya traditionally cuts salads, Ivan is waiting for the arrival of his bosom buddy Mitya. Spouses as usual exchange sharp remarks when the granddaughter of Zhenechka runs into the house.
Jeanne Friske
Suddenly, the Kovalevs and granddaughter come to Budko, and from that moment the fun begins. Stars scurry around the New Year's village, get acquainted with the local population and even become friends. On the way to Ivan, Mityai meets Jeanne Friske, whose car is stuck in the snow. Just for a fun song, which Jeanne cheered the whole village, Mitya drives the singer and her manager to the nearest accessible transport.
Unfortunately, of all the stars present, only one Jeanne is no longer alive. She died in 2015 from a brain tumor. Neither the millions of rubles collected, nor the advanced technologies of the German and American clinics helped the singer overcome the disease. Even the wife of Ozzy Osbourne helped, but the tumor was inoperable. Farewell to the artist took place in the famous hall Crocus City Hall.
Philip Kirkorov and "Factory"
Returning to the plot and actors of the film "New Year's Matchmakers" (2011), one cannot fail to mention the "Honored Artist" of as many as 4 countries - Philip Kirkorov. In the story, he also accidentally falls on a holiday to the Budko and Kovalevs, actively helps in the preparation and then arranges a real performance! Prior to this, Philip suffers from the rudeness of the bus station manager, exchanges sharp remarks with Lazarev and Stotskaya. In general, the day of the singer develops in the most fantastic way!
In the kitchen Olga and Valentina are helped by the Factory itself and Anastasia Stotskaya. Girls actively host, despite a beautiful manicure, and Sasha Savelyeva begins to sing a fairy tale song about three mermaids. Unlike other pop groups, over the 15 years of its existence, the team only had a change in composition, when Sati Casanova chose to start a solo career, and Catherine Lee joined the group. The group continues to pursue the creative path precisely in this composition.
The role of Sergei Lazarev
Among the actors of the movie "New Year's Matchmakers" (2011) appears and Sergey Lazarev. His transport was also stuck in snowdrifts, and he spends the New Year with the Budko and Kovalev family. In the musical "New Year's Matchmakers" Sergey sings the song Instantly, when the seller of a local store asks to perform something sad. In 2016, Lazarev took part in the Eurovision Song Contest and took the honorable 3rd place. According to the audience’s vote, his performance with the song You Are the Only One became the best, soon it was translated into Russian, and the video was shot. Today Sergey is in the jury of the New Wave contest.
An interesting story in the movie "New Year's Matchmakers" (2011), whose actors made friends with pop stars in it, is associated with the appearance of Potap on the screen. A popular singer goes to the forest for a Christmas tree with Ivan, which in itself promises a lot of adventures, because some incredible stories constantly occur with Budko. Of all the films of Fyodor Dobronravov, it was New Year’s Match that became the most fabulous and adventure piece. Needless to say about the rest of the actors and stars! Indeed, in search of a Christmas tree, they got lost in the forest and, as a result, refused a police station. Where, by the way, they met Philip Kirkorov.
Sergey Zverev
The most unusual guest in the matchmaker's house was Sergey Zverev. Of course, the Budko Family did not immediately like him because of his defiant appearance and desire to boss in a strange house. He immediately takes on what he can do best - the design of the room. Like a wave of a magic wand, Budko’s living room turns into a festive hall full of decorations. In the last shots of the musical, the always glamorous Zverev appears disheveled before the audience and drinks water directly from the teapot.
This New Year’s show in the television musical genre once again confirmed the genius of the Swat match idea and the relevance of family adventure themes. The film "New Year's Matchmakers" (2011) brought a lot of positive emotions to the actors and spectators, and pop stars managed to plunge into the incredibly cozy atmosphere of this incredibly kind folk series.
