It's not a hodgepodge, but the ingredients are still a bit more, and the force is a bit more

The director and screenwriter have worked very hard (I saw some people commented that it was a bit deliberate), but I still feel that the plot is very smooth, rough and routine.
No matter if you want to "develop" in the direction of drama, or "develop" in the direction of "reality" and "warmth", you need to add a lot of "real" to be touching.
Eagle sauce's immigration officials are so idle?
In addition to this, there are also the character of the male protagonist, the character of the female protagonist, and the "combination" of the two is "too hard". On a realistic level, the male protagonist and the female protagonist basically cannot get along, even if they follow the plot of the movie.
The rich children of male pigs are just a label, not internalized and externalized into words, deeds and spiritual temperament. In the materialized world, many things are simplified. He told his father that he was very happy in the big city now, and he didn't find happiness there. The male pig feels like an ordinary man, and there is nothing wrong with it, but he can't see the good in it. How to "melt" the female pig? Simply put, the male pig is a slightly frivolous, relatively soft schizophrenic.
Bilge, just because her teenage family passed away and became a bit perverted? There are many strong women in the workplace, but the movie is more exaggerated. If this is the reflection and summary of the female pig, where is the shining point of this female pig?
The movie tries to describe the warmth of the family, but it does not feel the warmth of thickness and depth - if thickness and depth are difficult, then it is okay to be "real". But between father and son, between mother and son, between husband and wife, between grandmother and grandson, there is always a feeling that the description is not very good. It is a malicious guess that the family life of the director and the screenwriter should not be too complete.
Also, what did the old lady say about Russia? What is difficult to combine? It seems to be a mix of elements, a joke, where is the fit with the overall movie? Don't lift anything up at every turn.
---------------
In fact, don't mix so much, just write a light comedy about a man and a woman, it will be much better.
It is more difficult to write characters with a little depth. But many movies just like to pretend to be deep, or flood the so-called warmth.
