I thought that Russkies was a brilliant film. It is one of those films which brings a lump to the back of your throat. It is very sweet and relaxing. The three teenage boys are confused, they don't know whether to trust Misha (the Russian)or go along with their parents and the American government. I really love this film especially Danny because he is so cute!!! I like the message of the film. People don't trust each other like they used to. It is a fantastic film and if you are having trouble finding it then try to research Russkies on e-bay. That is where I managed to find mine. This film cannot go unmissed. Misha and the teenagers find a way through it all and their friendship will last forever. DO NOT MISS THIS FILM!!!

So, the message that Russians are people just like Americans gives some substance to this film. Clearly, this was intended for a cold war audience, but the theme can obviously still apply today. However, the constant fear of homosexuals makes these boys quite the hypocrites. Whether the boys are fighting or explaining American culture to the Russian, it is quite clear that gay is bad. When the boys fight, they refer to each other as homos. When the boys help dress the Russian, they repeatedly make gestures implying the bad outfits chosen are gay. Even when the Russian tries to give the boys a hug, they refuse on the grounds that it is gay.It appears that the real message of this movie is: Don't hate the Russians, just hate the gays...

I'll admit I am very skeptical when it comes to old movies. Lots of times I won't even rent them because they are so poorly made compared to newer movies, in my opinion at least. But, this movie was surprisingly good. I thought the plot was really sweet and Joaquin did a really good job. I couldn't believe how young he was. The only other movie i had seen him in was Signs (which he was great in by the way). I thought the other actors did really well even though i don't know who any of them are seeing as it was an older movie and as i mentioned earlier i basically just watch new releases. In all i would probably give this movie an 8/10

"Russkies" is basically a sweet movie. I'm not a sappy person, and it almost made me cry. (I had a huge lump in my throat.) There is just something about seeing people care for each other that really makes me happy. And "Russkies" gives me a warm feeling. The chemistry between the actors is incredible. What's even more amazing that three of them were young and quite inexperienced. Although its plot isn't very realistic, it's okay, because the meaning of it is not lost. And I think the whole point behind this little movie is that - this is gonna sound incredibly cheesy - friendship knows no boundary or age difference. That last scene between Danny (Joaquin/Leaf Phoenix) and Misha (Whip Hubley) had me in near tears. And one thing Misha said really hit home. I don't remember the exact words, but he said people don't trust each other. I think it's very true.I bought this tape mainly to see Joaquin as a little kid. I know he's an awesome actor but I didn't know he was already awesome as a child. Those eyes, even at such a young age, can speak volumes. Joaquin/Leaf gave a truly great performance as Danny, and so did the other two kids whose names have escaped my ailing memory. I know nothing about Whip Hubley, and when the tape ended I thought he really is a Russian. Good performances all around, even from Summer Phoenix who wasn't in it a lot and that actress who played the blond boy's sister whom I usually can't stand.All in all, "Russkies" is worth watching.
