i go to see this because i have some friend in the ukraine . but the film move me beyond what i expect by turn out to be a perfect blend of belly hold laugh ( alex strange use of english ) situational comedy and heaviness bordering on depress . i love the range . it make me want to jump in to an old car and hit the road for the ukraine . alex ( hutz ) play his guide part perfectly and provide a great counterpoint to elijah wood poker face earnestness . the film show the positive side of humanity when ppl of differ culture can bond and do the right thing when they feel the sincerity of the situation and even when they go into it with preconceived notion and prejudice and and how this can open up doorway into deeply bury memory . there be a lot in this film .
