RUSSIAN DOLLS (3.5 STARS)

Russian Dolls is the sequel to THE SPANISH APARTMENT which i liked alot. Starring all the same actors and actresses, including Audry Tatu and the star from Dans Paris Romain along with a bunch of other multicultural people. The plot of the first one is Xavier is in Barcelona for school and get an apartment with a bunch of other early 20 somethings from ALL over. UK, Germany, Spain, France. An American street musician shows up at some point. People do each other... then cheat on each other. It's pretty good, fun, and i like the European feel to it all.

This one is more about the same guy 5 years down the road, living in France, trying to make it as a writer. He bumps into the whole gang eventually and they all go to Russian for a wedding for the leased they would expect.

Not as good as the first. The lead is far more self indulgent and at the same time much more sweet. I think the acting is good and the sights are amazing. St. Petersburg and Moscow, London, Paris. It's great.
