Well worth watching in my opinion. Best sentence in the movie: "These are MY 32 square meters!".

It was apparently customary to watch it on New Year's, sort of like Christmas movies in the West (according to my Russian teacher anyway.)

Also in other former SovBloc countries such as Latvia where there are a lot of ethnic Russian people.
