Moscow on the Hudson


1984 comedy

Rating: 14/20

Plot: A Russian guy immigrates to New York City.

This was recommended to me by a person who had immigrated to New York City from Russia. That person told me that it was an accurate look at the experience and that Robin Williams, although he has a "heavy accent," does a really good job with the Russian he speaks in the movie.

There are a pair of grandfathers in this, and they were my favorite characters, as old people often are.

My favorite piece of dialogue:

"I defected."
"You can't do that here. The men's room is downstairs."

I'd like to see a spin-off movie about the little person who worked at the circus with Robin Williams' character.

This movie was likable.
