The Man who Laughs

2026 · 97 min Comedy

Dmitriy is a popular actor, a star of action films. The public loves him for his image of a macho with an impenetrable face. One day, Dmitriy receives an offer from a stern but very rich businessman from Siberia, Sergey, to star in a crime drama about the 90s in the lead role of a cold-blooded killer. Sergey offers Dmitriy's agent a fee 10 times higher than usual. They agree. During the filming, Dmitriy is accidentally wounded by a shot. After a simple operation, he is ready to return to the frame, but faces an unexpected side effect: now he constantly smiles, and any emotions are expressed with laughter. Dmitriy has no chance to stop filming and "upset" Sergey, who clearly knows firsthand what he is making a movie about.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The comedy engine runs smoothly — pace, timing, situational hits. This isn't high comedy, but high comedy isn't what's needed here.

Half the jokes land, half don't — that's a normal result for the genre. The important thing is the film doesn't try to seem smarter than it is. Respect for that.

Works for a broad audience on Friday night. Not for those seeking satire or depth.

Director: Vladimir Kott
