Ex at the Rescue

Ex at the Rescue (2024) is a Russian romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Lera and German are planning their wedding, and the groom decides to surprise his bride with a car. The catch: the salesman at the dealership turns out to be Lera's ex — Maks, a reckless stuntman who films daredevil clips and works the showroom floor between gigs.

Maks talks her into a test drive and pulls off a wild bit of street racing that ends in an emergency stop and a crash. The accident wipes the last year clean from Lera's memory — and German along with it. Now she's convinced Maks is her boyfriend. The doctor suggests rebuilding her memory through familiar moments from the past, so German is forced to ask his rival for the impossible: play along inside someone else's relationship. The arrangement comes with one condition — the three of them now live under one roof, with Maks passing German off as a childhood friend.

Directed by Maxim Maximov and Georgy Malkov, the film stars Vyacheslav Chepurchenko and Roman Kurtsyn. It's a breezy mistaken-identity comedy with a love triangle and a few stunts — the kind of thing you put on to unwind, no drama, no pretense. Rated 16+. Stream Ex at the Rescue (2024) online on iFILM.
