Arkin, in his film bow, is absolutely outstanding as the courtly Russian who kisses a lady's hand even as he draws a gun.

Sweet and charmingly funny in many places, this is dated but entertaining.

Fabulously funny!

The cast is great and the scene in which Carl Reiner and vaudeville vet Tessie O'Shea are lashed together is unforgettably funny.

More memorable for its title than for anything else.

The Russians Are Coming is not the best comedy of the year but it stands out in a lean period for good old American slapstick.

Mar 05, 2014This is enormously funny. It goes to prove that you don't need to treat the Cold War as a reenactment of Red Dawn and its remakes. The entire cast are fabulous and this is a true ensemble comedy.John B Super Reviewer

Jan 07, 2013Over the top send-up of the Cold War has its moments wherein the paranoia of the times makes for some amusement as Russian sailors "invade" Cape Cod. Arkin is the reason to see this, altho Winters, Keith and Ford aid in the effort. A dated piece however.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Dec 09, 2008An intriguing look into the Cold War's true impact on American life, a bewildered Carl Reiner and an equally misplaced Alan Arkin made for a barrel full of laughs.Spencer S Super Reviewer

Apr 14, 2008fun comedy that was a little more 'serious' and less 'funny' than i expected- but entertaining nonetheless.chase _ Super Reviewer
