The tape was very successful, despite the fact that it was the creative debut of its creator. In this article, we will talk about the plot, director, actors and roles that they performed.
History of creation
In reviews of "Inadequate People," most viewers and critics noted that this film attracted them with its original plot, good acting, and original directorial decisions.
For its creator Karimov, this was the directorial debut in that capacity. In more detail about his creative path we will tell in this article. Ingrid Olerinskaya, Ilya Lyubimov, Evgeny Tsyganov and Julia Takshina were invited to the main roles.
The picture appeared in the national box office under a very original slogan: "Beating your head against a wall is much more fun when you know that a soul mate is hiding behind it."
The picture has bright and catchy soundtracks. These are the songs of popular bands: Chat Billy's Band and Mambo Forbidden Drummers. Also in the film are the works of Castes, Aybat Khallar and other, less well-known groups.
Plot
The original plot of "Inadequate People" is based on a script written by the director Roman Karimov himself. The film begins with the fact that a well-educated, calm and quiet Vitaly Mukhametzyanov moves from Serpukhov to Moscow to try to start his life from scratch. He is the manager of the capital's fashionable women's magazine. But living in a new way is not so simple. He constantly has the feeling that only crazy people meet on his way. They communicate in a similar manner. Quotations from "Inadequate People" confirm this:
Quiet! The brain beats against the wall in the head, like a ball from a ping pong.
In a new place, his frantic schoolgirl Christina with a rebellious character, experiencing a crisis of adolescence, appears. Not everything is simple and in a new workplace. Soon, he realizes that he was so easily accepted for this position, because his immediate boss, the editor-in-chief of the Moscow fashionable women's magazine, Marina Vasilievna, begins to solicit him:
- Vitaaalik ... I'm so drunk!
- Marina Vasilievna, you are not drunk. Drunk - this is when they write without taking off their pants. And you are not drunk.
A friend Pavel Viktorovich Kozlov helps him cope with this situation, find himself in the changed conditions. He is a psychologist, the author of the original practical guide, "Life from a Blank Slate." Just what Vitaly needs. But with him everything is not so simple. Pavel is a sadomasochist. Against the background of all these surrounding characters, Vitaly seems to be the only adequate person.
Ultimately, he realizes that the idea of ââmoving to the capital from the Moscow region was unsuccessful. His new life is not so happy, much worse than the one that was before. As a result, at one point, he quits his job and returns to his place in Serpukhov. But schoolgirl Christina, with whom he managed to make friends during this time, is looking for him:
Do not be a bore, Vitaly! I know that inside you, somewhere out there, a cool man lives, and we will save him!
Having said these words, she persuades him to try again from scratch.

Spectator Impressions
Reviews about the "Inadequate People" from the audience come mostly positive.
Many say that Karimov turned out to be real Russian cinema, which is remembered for a long time. At first glance, it may seem chamber, but it really can affect the living and feel.
The picture raises many problems that remain relevant at any time. Problems of transitional age, the search for one's place in life, questions about friendship, love, desires, and career. Some came up with an amazing definition of what they saw on the screen. This is a "charming everyday life." Bytovuha close and understandable to everyone and everyone. The picture has a dramatic part, but, first of all, it looks advantageous due to the comedic component.
This turned out to be one of the few domestic projects in the early 2010s, which aroused a lively and genuine interest among many. Many compared "Inadequate People" with the comedy "What Men Talk About", which was released shortly before.
Negative
At the same time, you can find negative reviews about this work. For example, not everyone was impressed by the game of the debutant Olerinskaya, noting that for an hour and a half of screen time, not a single emotion was reflected on her face.
In addition, the picture sins with the misfortune of many domestic tapes - empty and meaningless dialogues that do not carry any semantic load.
The audience did not like the fact that the picture was a collection of monotonous and hackneyed cliches. And with an acting game of dubious quality. The main thing such pessimists called for was not to look for a deeper meaning where it really is not. Some praised this work as an unsuccessful attempt to make a teen movie, which its creators frankly did not succeed.
