2.5/4
I am enough of a realist to realize that adults probably had to come into this plot at one point or another, but the adults, unfortunately, bring grown-up movie cliches along with them, and that spoils some of the fun. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 09/23/2005

A comedy adventure story that reminds us how open and honest communication can break down the walls of fear existing between people and nations. Go to Full Review Caffeinated Clint Moviehole 09/17/2002

"It taste like America."-Mischa See more Frances H 07/27/2013 Cute, enjoyable movie reminiscent of The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming from the 60s and other kids get together to save the day 80s movies such as Goonies, E.T., and Explorers (which featured River Phoenix). Pure, wholesome entertainment with a great message of Glasnost.

I found this to be just "ok" and something I probably will never watch again. See more 09/06/2012 it was a cute movie. i remember it from when i was a kid :) See more 08/23/2011 Funny things about this movie: The title means "Russian Russians" in Russian; Joaquin Phoenix's acting as a child was unbearable to watch; Whip Hubley's attempt at a Russian accent is annoying to have to sit through; and if you blink, you just might miss a few stereotypes.
