Vanad ja kobedad saavad jalad alla (2003)
Good comedy, but maybe funny only for Estonians
The movie is based on the comedy serial "Vanad ja kobedad", where two guys were playing all the characters, also women characters, which made it real funny. The serials themselves were originally radio-shows, with voice characters same as the ones in serials and the movie.
Plot in the movie is as follows: Two radiomen are making the radio-show based on their imaginary characters Valdur - man in the house, well actually much controlled by his wife Maie. Valdur has a friend called Väino, who has some drinking problems. Maie has a friend called Silvi, who has some men-problems. Silvi even likes Väino, but that's probably because almost no other men even look towards Silvi. Maie doesn't like Väino, because of it's illness with vodka, but in this movie Väino finally gets his own house, so Maie will have some small respect for him. As Väino has a house, he needs someone who could deal with a house - a woman. So he tries to find one from newspapers... well actually Maie tries to find him a woman. There are also other characters added to original idea. Some locals and well... you have to see it yourself, I can't retell you everything.
It's ridiculously funny for Estonians, to see the perfect actors Henrik Normann and Madis Milling just doing their job, but it might be funny for non Estonians too, or at least something very different to your ordinary movies. Watch it (no idea where you could get the copy) and give IMDb feedback yourself. As for Estonians this movie is at least 8/10, but for you?
