The film was generously criticized on the Internet.
The comedies of Leonid Gaidai are considered true masterpieces of Soviet cinema. The director was able to create an incredible density of funny situations and humor in his works. However, his portfolio also contains frankly unsuccessful projects that only attracted criticism.
And viewers usually consider the film “The weather is good on Deribasovskaya, or It’s raining again on Brighton Beach” to be the worst in Gaidai’s filmography. This film got it for everything: from the title being too long to the plot. Critics noted the caricature of the characters, Kharatyan’s weak performance, nods to the CIA, and an abundance of cliches and cliches.
According to Internet users, even such a talented director as Gaidai needed the work of censors. In the USSR, not a single project could do without it. But the film “The weather is good on Deribasovskaya, or It’s raining on Brighton Beach again” was released in the early 1990s, but it is impossible to watch it without edits.
“Time has changed, the censorship in which all phrases and scenes were replayed and worked through from start to finish is gone,” “The film, of course, compared to the background of Gaidaev’s masterpieces of the 60s and 70s, is downright bad,” “It’s all about censorship. More precisely, in its absence,” – commentators noted.
