A movie, may be called a classics for the genre of parody. It has a good budget, spent due to the aims of filming, not fore a sake of one's pocket, well detalized in images and dialogs, with a great idea in the final. Despite any jokes it shows the real nature of any war: somebody dies on the front line, somebody enjoys life and makes money. As well, contains a lot of satire on modern russian bohemia.

If you are not familiar with Russian pop culture you will not get anything out of this movie besides grotesque scenes of action and bizarre dialog. In reality this movie pays a great homage to the old soviet spy movies. Especially the cult spy series "twelve moments of spring", from which it borrows most of the characters. It is also relentlessly pokes in the most satirical way at todays new Moscow corporate Russia, by presenting it in the form of the third Reich. This movie is comedy genius. Great selection of actors, with some Russian comedy heavy weights. I struggle to see how anyone non Russian would get what the movie is about. But if you watch it, don't judge it as it is not made for the Western audience.

I haven't laughed so much in ages... the director is brilliant - daring - how about Buzz Luhrman meets Mel Brooks with a touch of Tarentino. Plot needs work, and yes, it is not structurally perfect, far from it, but it is so well done, and so funny, and so imaginative and original (key word) - that I can forgive much. This director has a serious future. I would recommend this to anyone who has not sworn allegiance to the politically correct and who loves a crazed romp. Certain scenes are to die for - such as the scene where Hitler uses potatoes to explain the how-to in the Russia/Germany conflict. I bet that the 3rd picture of this director will be a world blockbuster. Makes Borat look flat.

I was unlucky enough to actually buy tickets to Hitler Kaput. A bit less than one hour of this was all I could stand. I know, I never finished it, but what I saw was more than enough for me to comprehend the awfulness of this picture.Full of cheesy pop culture praising, horrible humor and dialogue, as well as failed attempts at parodizing popular western titles - this is one movie you should really.. really.. REALLY avoid.If its some decent Russian comedy you're looking for, go grab Briliantovaya Ruka or Osobennosti Nazionalnoi Okhoty. Anything but this.
