    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.

    Jakob was good, but Moscow wasnt great. Fast and efficient delivery is only reason I didnt rate it lower

In Nazi-occupied Poland during World War II, poor Jewish café owner Jakob Heym (Oscar®-winner Robin Williams Best Supporting Actor, 1997, Good Will Hunting ) accidentally overhears a forbidden radio news bulletin signaling Soviet military successes against German forces. 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.
