i know absolutely nothing about this film before i saw it and i do not think i have any an preconception . the story sound oddly interest a woman who claim her son be the bastard of joseph stalin . well and despite the quirkiness of the premise and it just bore me immensely . it certainly wasn not funny nor be it particularly entertain . i think part of the problem be that if it originally be mean to be a comedy ( and i be not sure that really be the intention ) and how can joseph stalin be funny . you would think that the fact that he be one of the great murderer in human history would preclude any attempt at comedy . if that be their intention and it be a very sick joke and may perhaps illustrate a problem with whoever be responsible for this film . be this film and perhaps and mean less a a joke and more a a homage to stalin or to paint him a not such a bad guy . who know . for that matter and who care . all i know be you shouldn not waste your time . fyi if you think i be be too narrow mind or unfair to the picture and try substitute joseph stalin for hitler and charles manson or jeffrey dahmer a the focus of this movie . do you think all their victim would find this movie a barrel of laugh .
