Good recent Russian comedy film suggestion?

[TORRES, NOHEMI G]

Piter FM is available with subtitles, but it's hard to find that way. I would also recommend "Ljubov-morkov" (2007), a romantic comedy directed by Aleksandr Strizhenov. It's basically Freaky Friday for an estranged couple. The language isn't difficult, and it's pretty clean (little violence, even less sex). I hear there's a sequel out there, too.

Yes, Piter-FM is a cute comedy with the same plot as "Sleepless in 
Seattle".
