If I had to evaluate the overall movie, there are two reasons to watch or not to watch it. Why to watch and who is a potential spectator? A good reason to watch is the plot itself. The director had a superb idea: he decided to show not just a pure sex movie, but to put it in a certain frame. The movie consists of five or six stories, and each of them is based on some ancient Russian fairy tale (or at least the roles are taken from some fairy tale). That makes the beginning of each story really interesting and funny. So, a person has a motivation to watch the movie if he or she wants to have fun, just like watching any other comedy. Now, let's think about the negative sides of the movie. And there are lots of them. First of all, probably, a person who is going to watch a movie that is intended for adult spectators, is willing to see erotics, passion, porno, and all the other things that makes him mentally involved and sexually arouse. However, in "The Sex in the Russian Way", when the funny introduction is over and the intimate part takes place, only pure porno is left. No erotic, no passion. Only action. As for me, I can equally watch how animals mate and how actors in this movie make sex:) To sum up, 5/10 (5 points for a good plot)
