if you have ever be to ukraine and this movie be absolutely hilarious . from teenager wear gold chain and listen to hip hop and break dancing on the side to joke about air bag in car and waitress in total shock over meet a vegetarian and this movie really capture bit and piece of ukraine that you would never know unless you go there . i spend most of the movie nod my head and thinking and yep . that exactly right . it a lot of fun if you understand russian too because the subtitle just do not always do it justice . the actor be so believable and elijah wood do a great job play a socially inept jewish kid . my favorite character be definitely sammy davis jr. jr. and the grandfather see eye dog who be really a psychopathic border collie . the character be so eclectic and likable that you believe that they be real people .
