This happy and grieving romantic movie has a high entertainment effect and has become a New Year's Eve film in the Soviet Union and has been popular for many years. The plot is deliberately artificial, but it shows the ridicule of rigid machinery and the same modern civilization.
The film satirizes that housing in all parts of the Soviet Union was the same, creating a mixed relationship between the hero and the heroine. In his creation of the "urban fairy tale" genre, Ryazanov fully embodies his comedic talent, love of life, and meticulous observation and understanding of the interest of a broad audience. Because of this, "The Irony of Fate" has received extremely high reviews.
