This movie will likely be completely misunderstood by shallow minder Americans...

This movie will likely be completely misunderstood by shallow minder Americans... But i think that most people who are immigrants in US will get it... it doesnt matter where you are from or why you came to US... If US is NOT YOUR COUNTRY OF BIRTH, it will NEVER BE A TRUE HOME... so, this is a movie that touches upon this reality that many if not all immigrants live with/// this nostalgic feeling about the super simple, but very dear things they miss about their country of birth... like in this movie, *Summers at Grandmas home on the Black Sea coast...*

Movie sponsored by the government

Very bad acting, laughing out again american culture, as russian movies most often do. Nageev was playing the same character as usual, boring and nothing new. Only thanks to Stoyanov, Mikhalkova and Tokhatyan this movie was bearable to watch. It "smells" being sponsored by the government in frame of their activities of returning specialists home from abroad. Why do i have to pay for a sponsored movie like that? I wonder what makes a few good actors in this to agree to play in such a movie. I never wrote a review of a movie, never felt the need, but this one desires an honest feedback and a warning before you watch. We watched it abroad(not US), and out of around 25 people in our group only one person liked it, the woman who is missing home. The little "propoganda" worked for 1 out 25.

Urealistic yearn or hidden aim, to Nostalgic Russia

Boring movie, about "russian soul" yearn for Russia. No any true stories, only idealistic script. Characters are good chooses , but this melody "We the homeland begins "through movie is hidden message - come to russia. Also content some anti American jokes, same time as russia are idealistic paradise. Only question is why these people are abroad, not in Russia not given any hints. Movie financing come probably from russian authorities. Right name of movie maybe "posol to Russia."

Loved it! Worth every minute of it

I was expecting this movie to be a comedy only. You know, just for laughs. We watched it all together with parents. Everyone of us loved it. It's those moments when you cry and laugh. I'm not in my home country and it touched me. Nagieev my favourite. And yeah, Mikhalkova is she really an actress ? :)

Terrible, stupid propaganda

Not much to add really. It's like someone in the Russian government was told to make a movie to scare Russians from immigrating to the US, but that someone is stuck in the idealistic nostalgia for the old USSR. The movie is full of every stereotype of American that you see on Russia's Channel One.
