In 2011 another romantic melodrama by young director Dmitry Grachev was released. The picture turned out to be bright, rich, funny. Men call such a movie absolutely "feminine" (such an assessment is given by a strong half of humanity to the film "Exchange Wedding"). Comedy actors are young and very successful and recognizable celebrities who have already managed to gain recognition from the moviegoer.

Director

Dmitry Grachev is still little known to the general public. In his arsenal, there are only four works that are not entirely successful at the box office. For the period of filming "Weddings by Exchange" in the director's piggy bank there was only one film - "Bride at any cost". Despite being little known among film enthusiasts, Dmitry managed to establish himself among the cinematic community as a creative representative of a new generation of directors.

It was this reputation that made it possible for the young director to involve in his project quite well-known stars of Russian cinema - Fyodor Bondarchuk, Maxim Matveev, Ekaterina Vilkova and Maria Kozhevnikova. It was these stars that formed the backbone of the picture."Wedding by Exchange". The actors of the film have already established themselves in the domestic cinema with interesting work.

Storyline

The picture tells about the life of fashion model Sonya, who, despite her popularity, like any woman, dreams of simple female happiness - a family and a beloved man nearby. Her boyfriend Ruslan, a successful TV presenter, broadcast star, does not share the aspirations of his passion. For him, Sonya is a successful couple at social events and nothing more. Ruslan is ready to propose to his chosen one, but only in the light of spotlights, as this step raises his ratings.

The bank clerk Sasha's personal life is also not going smoothly. He is modest, kind, but, apparently, this is not enough for his girlfriend. His beloved Christina, the secretary at the MMM bank, does not notice him. Christina wants pathos, expensive cars, fame. She absolutely does not need the sincerity and love of her colleague.

Sonya and Sasha decide to take revenge on their soul mates and get married. And only after leaving the registry office, they realize that a revenge wedding is stupidity. Now they need to learn to live together, overcoming mutual hostility. This is the summary of the comedy "Exchange Wedding".

Actors

As the director admitted, the casting did not last long, he had thought over the images together with the producers for a long time, and therefore there were no random people on the set. Each main character, after reading the script, without hesitation came to the main site to make a real, good movie about feelings. In the melodrama "Wedding by Exchange", the actors masterfullyreincarnated as their characters.

Ekaterina Vilkova played the lead role of supermodel Sonya. As the actress herself admitted, she really liked the image of her heroine and in general the plot itself, which is why she accepted the invitation to play in this film. An interesting fact is that the main characters - Maxim Matveev and Ekaterina Vilkova have already played a couple in love in five films. The guys look so organic in the frame that directors and producers are ready to shoot them again and again.

Maxim Matveev played the main male role - a bank employee Sasha, who is madly in love with his colleague, but she is not so fascinated by her boyfriend. At the end of the story, Alexander manages to prove to Christina that he is not at all a gray mouse, as she thought, but a romantic.

Fyodor Bondarchuk embodied the image of the on-screen villain Ruslan, a self-satisfied and successful TV presenter, Sonya's boyfriend, who refuses to walk down the aisle. Rather, Ruslan is ready to make an offer to his famous bride, but only at the sight of lenses. Sonya, on the contrary, craves sincerity and romance.

Maria Kozhevnikova played the role of the bitchy and ambitious Christina, the girl Alexander is in love with. She does not reciprocate her colleague, and refuses his offer. Alexander's broken heart yearns for revenge, and he decides to take the first person he meets down the aisle.

Ksenia Katalimova and Ararat Keshchyan played indefatigable agents who are trying to arrange the life of the main characters.

Reviews from viewers and critics

Film "Exchange Wedding"received good response from the audience. Critics, on the other hand, reacted more calmly to the release of the film. Another romantic melodrama for girls dreaming of great and pure love - this is how many experts called this picture. The director-producer in one of his interviews admitted that he was not going to shoot some kind of instructive masterpiece. He wanted to shoot a good, modern domestic movie, after watching which the viewer will have only positive emotions. Grachev's idea came true.

An interesting fact is that thanks to the intriguing trailer, which starred the main character and the most famous actor in the film - Fyodor Bondarchuk, in the first days of the rental, the picture collected decent box office - more than $ 2.5 million.
