    This is worth the watch for the pure comedy of shirtless Russians on Skype. 

    Kind of confusing structure of the film but appreciate how Fogel took on the challenge of continuing the film once he realized the story had changed and he had to capture it. 

    Fun little look in to butts, Cali beauty Drs, cycling, Russian/Olympic bureaucracy and the sneaky sneaky FSB.

    Ending was somewhat scattershot but considering the circumstances I gave them some grace there.

    I get what he was doing and applaud his (mostly) successful feat at achieving it but it made me work too hard so loses stars because I was tired and didn’t want to think when I watched it.

    Really liked this movie. 

    Going into this I was anticipating an action movie that intended to create an introspective view of mortality through various stages of life. 

    I was wrong. This movie has quirky moments of fun, class triumph, social reform, contemporary political satire, and most of all R. Pat!

    To avoid spoilers, once printing is not a given the expendable arc from plastic grunt to potential self sacrificing hero was a fun end.

    Enjoyed the movie. Cast and plot were very good. 

    Only beef with the movie is the string of interactions he has with women that seem to not be doing well in life. That part just made me uncomfortable but still a very good film.
