    You get a great double feature of Robin Williams. Moscow on the Hudson is one of my favorite movies. Robin brings out a great performance as a Russian musician who defects to the USA. There is drama and comedy in this film. Jakob the Liar is a very emotional and dramatic movie. Robin is extraordinary in his portrayal of a Jewish man trying to lift the spirits of his friends in the Nazi occupied ghetto. You cant beat this deal!

    Highly recommend Jakob the Liar, but would avoid Moscow on the Hudson. I gave the four stars for Jakob, but I would have given one (none) star for Moscow because the latter was sexually offensive. Robin Williams is a two-edged sword. Some of his movies are top notch and others are trashy because they rely on sex or profanity to carry the day. Dont buy this double feature. Just buy Jakob the Liar.

    Poor story line that boored me to tears. I didnt like either movie, and neither did my family. Sorry. Robin Williams is a fantastic actor, now deceased. Dead Poets Society was a real good story, as was Awakenings.

To combat the overwhelming depression that pervades the ghetto, Jakob invents fictitious news bulletins about Allied advances against the Nazis. These lies keep hope and humor alive among the ghetto inhabitants spirits are lifted, hearts are refreshed, and optimism is reborn. The Germans learn of the mythical radio and begin a search for the resistance hero who dares operate it.

Though Vladimir learns that life in America can be cold and even painful, he grows to love this strange and wondrous new land.
