Possibly the silliest Russian Musketeers ever... (actually made by a Ukrainian studio using Russian actors, in the days before that was considered a significant difference)
Young d'Artagnan comes to Paris to join the Musketeers, only to discover that there is a problem: in this universe, it is well known that the Musketeer regiment only recruits women! But of course he soon runs into three of the best blades in the regiment, and ends up acquiring three cheerfully patronising big sisters (they actually pat him on the head at one point).
Meanwhile there is a problem in the shape of the formidable Madam Richelieu, who intercepts his letters home, criticises their grammar and spelling, and manages to win the diamonds from Buckingham via a game of strip poker :-p Buckingham, meanwhile, appears to spend all his time in the basement experimenting with alchemy...
( Basically a panto version ) Being able to make fun of something without disrespecting it (the three Musketeers are extremely feminine —hence humour when d'Artagnan instinctively attempts to adopt their hip-swinging walk!— but also know exactly how to handle themselves) is a surprisingly rare quality.
