Moving away from the shock, the girl, taking advantage of the working trip of Julia's mother (performed by Catherine Spitz) to Moscow, runs to the capital, looks for her father and comes to his home. A man has no idea that he has a daughter, so he is incredulous about the story of the child.

However, in this situation, Ali is completely on the tip, the fact is that the potential investor of his firm is a businessman from the United States, obsessed with family values. Therefore, the appearance of a daughter to an advertiser is very welcome, along with her and her mistress colleague Oksana Tarelkina (Polina Maksimova), the hero tries to portray the ideal social unit. Simultaneously, Titov tries to win a tender in which his main rival is the long-forgotten love of Julia (Ali's mother). Such is the simple intrigue of the comedy "Breakfast at the Pope." Comments of film critics in every possible way emphasized her naivety and predictability.

Everything is traditional, all according to genre standards

In the course of the narrative, the comedy "Breakfast at the Pope" plunges deeply into the wisdom of advertising creativity. To get around competitors, Yulia and Alexander have to fulfill unexpected tasks of the investor like "to come up with cocoa advertising in which the combination of biblical events and family love" - this competition becomes the main intrigue of the film. Naturally, the denouement of the key storyline is clear from the first minutes of the timing (the romkoma variety of climaxes do not differ), but the questions arising during the viewing, the plot moves, the actions of the main characters are really intriguing.

True, there is nothing dramatic in the plot twists and turns, and even more tragic, since the outcome of the tender of great significance for the narrative narrative has no.

Actors and roles. Father

In the movie "Breakfast at the Pope," Yuri Kolokolnikov played the role of a successful businessman, a resident of a megalopolis, a shake-up of the advertising business with a huge apartment and a decent ego, into whose measured life the daughter invades. Accustomed to not spend a single minute on the surrounding people for nothing, the hero is the ideal image of an inveterate bachelor from an anecdote with a prejudiced attitude towards women and life in general. For him, every thing has a price, he does not know priceless moments, but for the rest he always has MasterCard at hand. It is very curious to observe the transformation of the character, views and addictions of the hero in the comedy "Breakfast with the Pope." Yuri Kolokolnikov is known to the audience on films "In August of the 44th", "Cook", "Pussycat", "Poddubny" and "State Councilor".

Naughty fidget

The young talent of Louise-Gabriel Brovina has a Russian surname and a double Spanish name. A little Russian actress by her mother and a cub by her father. When the actors were recruited into "Breakfast with the Pope", it was her remarkable appearance that became an additional bonus during the casting. Playing the role of a ten-year-old heroine, Louise-Gabriela superbly copes with the task set by the director.

The sentimental viewer should recommend the tape to view at least because for an hour and a half they will have to watch with tenderness the charming and sweet, but the militant and enterprising, almost not discouraged baby. Dear Catherine Spitsa and imposing Kolokolnikov at some moments it was not easy to match the pressure and the organic nature of the young talent.

Basic load carriers

For the humor in the project Kravchenko "meet" two stars of the national cinema Katerina Spitsa and Polina Maksimova. However, this fact is not surprising, because romkom - this is the predominant female sub-genre, and the director wisely allows to solo the actresses, in the tape "Breakfast at the Pope" male actors go into the background. Katerina Spitsa ("Crew", "Metro", "Poddubny") plays the role of a talented and intelligent, but a little strange and too emotional woman, whose feelings sometimes prevail over reason.

The comedy gift of Polina Maksimova ("Deffchonki", "Not only they", "I remember - I do not remember!") Allowed the actress to create an ambiguous image in which the victim and predator, the ugly and beautiful woman, the winner and the loser, causing pity, interest, And laughter. Representation of the heroine Maxima about the household is exhausted after putting on a beautiful kitchen apron, and she needs to portray a conservative understanding of his wife.

Other actors also have funny moments, but Polina Maximoma and Katerina Spitz in the "Breakfast with the Pope" carry the main burden.

Invited British actor

Anglo-Polish actor Valentin Pelka, best known as the performer of the role of the antagonist Kronos in the television movie "Highlander", perhaps the most unexpected member of the actor's ensemble paintings. He turned into an American investor obsessed with family values. It was very unexpected to see the British in the Russian Roma, and even as a performer of one of the key roles. Although his hero turns out to be almost the best person in the movie - shrewd, a bit eccentric, wise and fair, sincerely religious and in an old fashioned way. The character of Valentine Pelka serves as a moral compass, according to which Alexander Titov verifies his life.
