Good recent Russian comedy film suggestion?

[Nola]

Peculiarities of the National Fishing and Peculiarities of the National Hunt are really funny! I had no idea what these were about when I first saw Fishing...and ended up nearly choking with laughter at one scene, the one where the submarine's line caught onto the edge of the pier ....I will not spoil this for anyone who has not seen it yet. But, it was funny!
I also loved Mimino- it is sweet.
