Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Movie with heart and extreme laughter
This is literally one of the best movies I've ever seen. The first half of the movie, you will laugh uncontrollably at the cultural misunderstandings and crazy antics of the characters; then, the story morphs into a drama thatgrabs your heart and twists it like dough. I've never watched a movie that causes me to feel so many emotions in one sitting. And I was drawn into it within the first 3 minutes.
Also, it is very, VERY quotable.
Rating: - My Favorite Movie- Have watched atleast 30 times
This is honestly, the funniest movie I have ever watched. I didn't think non Russian speakers would find it as funny as I did, but according to the hundreds of other reviews on this site, it is well loved by you guys as well. Trust me when I say this: this movie rocks!

His parents have died leaving him with no memories of the family before they came to the United States. All they did leave him was a locket that serves as the key to his search for family and memories.
The film is beautifully photographed, directed, and delicately acted.Elijah ... Read More
Rating:  - I really wanted to like it more..(than the book)
And initially, I did. But once the quirkinesspetered out, that was it. Despite the profound subject matter, the film then simply became boring. No amount of prolonged landscape-shots, or meaningful silences in the cramped confines of the little car could sustain a promising start right up to the rather damp squib of an ending.
Like with the book, certain devices eventually start to grate: The constant interpreting retards the flow of the narrative. Initially it may have served a purpose, ... Read More
