Leave your thoughts about The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!.
| DVDJournal.comMark BourneIt skewers hawkish reactionism and mob militancy, and its sympathetic portrayal of the beached Russians -- not to mention the panicky buffoonery of the Americans -- probably gave the more rabid Commie-haters conniptions. |
| The New York TimesRobert AldenMr. Arkin and Mr. Reiner meet and the comedy takes off in wild flight. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenThe cast is great and the scene in which Carl Reiner and vaudeville vet Tessie O'Shea are lashed together is unforgettably funny. |
| Entertainment WeeklySteve SimelsStill, the picture remains the only ”feel good” movie of the entire Cold War corpus. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullNow terribly quaint (just look at the title!) and not nearly as funny as film historians would lead you to believe. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonMore memorable for its title than for anything else. |
| VarietyVariety StaffArkin, in his film bow, is absolutely outstanding as the courtly Russian who kisses a lady's hand even as he draws a gun. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeThe serious side feels simplistic (we're all just humans) and the comedy feels overstated. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzOver-rated but still holds up as a moderately amusing sit-com lightweight parody of the cold-war and small-town America. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. Puccio...a disarming send-up of Cold War paranoia. |
