Practical Joke (Russian: Розыгрыш, romanized: Rozygrysh) is a 2008 Russian teen drama film directed by Andrei Kudinenko. It is a remake of the 1977 film of the same name by Vladimir Menshov.[1]
Plot
[edit]The action takes place in an average Moscow school. It all starts with a joke by class leader Oleg Komarov - he persuades classmates to make fun of the young English language trainee in retaliation for a barely passing grade. At the same time, a new student appears in the class - Igor Glushko. The new kid amazes the teacher with his knowledge of English during his first lesson. He also writes songs and dreams of creating a music group. Komarov understands that his leader’s position has suffered damage, and tries to rectify the situation. After the first practical joke, the intern realizes who was the one who made it and gives Komarov a failing grade for his homework. Komarov’s father, who sponsors the school, threatens Oleg with the army and punishes him. After that, Oleg decides to arrange a second, more brutal practical joke. The practical joke is successful, but everything comes to light, and it is decided that Komarov be expelled from school. But suddenly the head teacher of the school calls everyone for mercy and offers to leave Komarov at school and that he be allowed to take exams.
