Still laughing
Still laughing at this classic comedy after all these years. The "Red Scare" in this little New England village is brilliantly portrayed by wonderful actors. So glad it is part of our collection. Good way to diffuse stress.

The Russians are coming
This is a true classic, lots and lots of big stars! Funny and heart warming. All ages will love this movie!

Get a sense of humor...
The cold war years were a frightening time. But our fear tended to the side of irrational far more often than not. This wonderful little comedy brought us back to reality and helped us laugh at ourselves again. It reminded us that fear provided no remedy to our dilemma. Taking ourselves and our world too seriously only fed the fear and increased the distrust taking us closer to the brink. Our fear became so irrational as to have us distrust not just the leadership in other countries but to distrust the human nature and believe them even more irrational than ourselves. This cold-war classic reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously and to get our sense of humor back.

A Classic that's as Funny in 2008 as in 1966
I bought a DVD of this classic for my mother. She'd never heard about it, and I couldn't imagine missing it! In fact, I became a forever fan of Alan Arkin because of it.

It's just as clever and funny as it was when it first came out. The cars are different, the clothes are different, even some of the boats are different -- but people are the same. They're suspicious and friendly, helpful and downright obstructive. All the same as it was then.

There's a ton of fun in this movie. If you haven't seen it, do so! If you have, laugh again. It's great comedy and appropriate for all ages.

The Russians ard Coming. the Russians are Coming
I saw first saw this movie when I was in the sixth grade. In the middle of the Cold War, just the title was a scary thing for a kid. I sat through it twice before leaving the theater. It not only was hilarious, but eased my mind about that time of world crisis. Seeing it again was so much fun and I wonder if such a movie could be made in this time of war and crisis in the world.
