Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Irony of Fate 2 is a 2007 film from Russia directed by Timur Bekmambetov.It is a sequel to the beloved 1976 film The Irony of Fate. It seems that Zhenya and Nadya, who seemingly had come together in the first film after a whirlwind 24-hour romance over the New Year's holiday, did not wind up with each other after all. In fact, they both went back to their respective fiancees, Galya and Ippolit.Zhenya is now a lonely divorcee. His old friend Pavlik (who also appeared in the first movie) is worried about him, so Pavlik enlists Zhenya's son Kostya (Konstantin Khabensky) in a particularly wacky scheme. It's New Year's again, so Kostya will show up at Nadya's old apartment in St. Petersburg (not Leningrad anymore!), pretending to be drunk, just as Zhenya came to the apartment drunk thirty years ago after a series of wacky events. This will, hopefully, reunite Zhenya and his Old Flame Nadya.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Just how Kostya appearing at Nadya's door pretending to be intoxicated is supposed to reunite the old lovers is not explained. In any case, Kostya gets a surprise when the door to the St. Petersburg apartment opens and he is met not by Nadya, but by her lovely daughter, also named Nadya, child of Nadya and Ippolit. And it turns out that Nadya 2.0 has her own Disposable Fiancée in the person of Irakily, an arrogant cell phone company manager. Just like in the first film, a series of crazy events happen as the two young people are drawn together. And sure enough, Zhenya and the first Nadya do end up meeting again. | |

| The Irony of Fate 2 / int_25bc8511 | comment |
Generation Xerox: Kostya and Nadya 2.0 have repeated much of their parents' lives—Kostya is also a doctor, Nadya 2.0 is also a single woman (living in her mother's old apartment) with a fiance she has mixed feelings about. Irakly for his part takes Nadya 2.0 for granted much as Ippolit did with his Nadya. | |

Sequel Escalation | |
| The Irony of Fate 2 / int_391d6577 | comment |
Sequel Escalation: The original was a 1976 TV movie made in the Soviet Union, so, pretty low-budget. The sequel is a 2007 theatrical release in high definition, with fancy graphics, freeze-frame shots, and CGI effects. | |

Can't Hold His Liquor: Not only is Kostya not drunk, he's The Teetotaler, because he's alcohol intolerant and a single drink will mess him up. Eventually he's forced to down a shot of vodka, and sure enough, it knocks him on his butt. | |

The Matchmaker | |
| The Irony of Fate 2 / int_de19df2b | comment |
The Matchmaker: This is the main difference between the first and second films. In the sequel, Kostya's arrival at the apartment is not "the irony of fate" as it was with his father, and Kostya is only pretending to be drunk. It's all a scheme cooked up by Kostya and his father's friend Pavlik to reunite Zhenya, now a lonely divorcee, with his old flame Nadya. But fate still takes a hand and complicates events when Kostya makes it to the apartment and finds not Nadya, but her daughter Nadya 2.0. | |

Romantic Runner-Up: The sequel makes Ippolit's case a Zigzagged Trope: he did marry Nadya, only for them to get divorced because he was too overbearing and controlling. Besides, she only fell back on marrying him after she got tired of waiting for Zhenya and still carries a torch for the latter 30 years later. | |
