    Both are good movies. Worth adding to your collection, especially if a Robin Williams fan. Im sure for any of us his suicide makes watching some of his films difficult at times. Both of these are dark, so not his wild, spirited comedy, that were used to. That said, films that convey heartfelt emotions are always worth watching. He does a fine job acting in both of these.

    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.

    Robin Williams was BRILLANT in these two films! We will all miss him and the joy he brought to everyone with both his wit and his acting skill.

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.
