Critical response

Alexander Fedorov: Alla Surikova, in my opinion, this time staged a simple and almost not funny comedy. The film clearly falls short of an eccentric comedy of masks due to the lack of original tricks and situations. And for a comedy of characters, the characters look too flat and primitive.^[6]

Sergey Kudryavtsev: It seems that our only active female comedian, Alla Surikova, is still working unevenly. The false and forced film "Moscow Vacation" was replaced by a more natural film "Monday's Children", but after it a bad comedy appeared again.^[7]
