It's a funny movie, providing some good laughs, a little weird, but a work of genius! Not very good actors, but it's what makes the movie so good, that it handles parody by doing it seriously!! Some weird scenes, but funny and good jokes, like the bar where it first stood "Singer wanted" and when the band was through with the gig, the sign said "Club Zchivago...for sale", one of the best jokes I've seen, but it's just me! The movie deserves the same acknowledge as "Blues Brothers"-movie, but unfortunately, finnish movies do not (except for the "Winterwar")

This used to be on tv constantly and I always saw it in pieces,I am glad i finally taped it because it is a great and original movie.Jim Jarmusch is funny as the carsalesmen and all the mangled covers are inspired(my favorites are "At the Hop","Born to be Wild"(the only good version even better than Steppenwolf,Who?)& The Country song I can't remember the title)I need to see Leningrad's meet Moses too! I rate this film up there with Rocknroll High School!

Saw this without knowing what to expect and after watching it, I thought it was about the problems faced by foreign film makers in America. Then I read somewhere that the show was actually describing something rather political and so now I am totally confused. Still, I find the show largely entertaining and very amusing. The story is about this Rock and Roll Band, the Leningrad Cowboys and how they head to America in search of fame and fortune. What happens is pretty predictable but the quirks and eccentric cast help to propel the camp to a higher level.

A family of ersatz, Eastern European musicians, with little talent beyond their 18-inch long pointed shoes and matching pompadours, tries to strike it rich in the New World, where anything goes, or so they hope. The episodic non-plot simply puts the unlikely ensemble in some equally unlikely settings (seedy urban truck stops, and so forth), and that, in or out of a nutshell, is the entire film. It's certainly the most accessible effort yet from the prolific Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki, but this sort of deadpan irreverence can only be stretched so thin, and after a (short) while too much of the material is merely repetitive. Kaurismaki has often been called his country's answer to Jim Jarmusch (who appears here in a memorable cameo as a used car salesman), but on the evidence of this fitfully amusing one-joke novelty he may be embracing the comparison a bit too close.

Leningrad Cowboys Go America is Finland meets the Blues Brothers with a bit of Monty Python thrown in. Very entertaining.My husband and I watched this movie last night as it was St. Urho's Day and we wanted to see something from Finland. Well, 90% of the movie is in English rather than Finnish, but that didn't matter. Basically, this crazy band of brothers finds that their music is not marketable in Finland, so they go to America. It's not really marketable their either, so they are sent to Mexico and play at a bunch of bars on the way there. They switch from oldies rock to country to modern rock along the way. Finally in Mexico they are accepted for music close to what they were playing in the first place. A bad manager, dead guitarist, outcast brother, and long lost cousin add to the fun. I would recommend it to anyone who likes bizarre comedy.

This is not so much a movie as it is a test of your campiness quotient. The CQ has a mean of 100. If you fall below 85, you live in a really sad world and as you advance above 100 you are able to extract the comical and farcical aspects of life with increasing ingenuity. After auditioning for a Russian apparatchick (who listens stony-faced to their music, then says "no good - try the US" and departs) the band departs for the US. As they travel from New York to the South, the music changes through a range of pop/rock genres. As another reviewer noted, the music is far more enjoyable than it has a right to be and the dead-pan stoicism of the characters is a hoot. From Steppenwolf to Mariachi music, you will hear and see it all. Try the movie again a year later and it will be even more enjoyable because now you can attend to the hilarious detail which you have missed first time around.

This is the funniest rock `n roll polka road movie ever made! Although based around an actual band of Finnish descent (who still get airplay on MTV Europe), it sees our heroes come from the Tundra Wasteland to America, seeking fame and fortune. Not having much luck in their homeland with their unique style of folk pop, the band are advised to conquer the US ("go to America" says the guy, "they buy any old s**t there"), being exploited constantly by their greedy manager Vladimir. They "learn" rock `n roll, drink beer, go to jail, beg on the streets and play seedy pubs. Not exactly the American dream. And the most eyecatching piece, has to be those massive quiffs and even bigger winklepicker shoes! The dialogue is funny, but its not this that makes you laugh. Just one look at the band will have you rolling. And if you can`t speak Finnish, don`t worry. The director cleverly overcomes this, by getting the band to learn English on the plane to America! And if you`re not tapping along to their rendition of "Born To Be Wild" at the end of the movie, you`ll be humming that "polka" music for a long time to come.
