This feature is a curiosity rarely before seen: an American production with an American director, shot entirely in Russia with Russian actors and dialogue for both the English and Russian-language markets. In the story, four Russian men have taken temporary summer jobs at a "banya" (a small bathhouse and sauna). For some reason known only to themselves, this enables them to indulge in their fantasy that they are Americans, speaking English much of the time, lip-synching to blues records, and coloring their vodka with tea to make it resemble whiskey. They are having a happy-go-lucky time when their idyll is interrupted by the appearance of a 100% genuine American woman, who is up to her elbows in some very shady business deals. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
