ufsb It's very hard to sum this movie up. If you think of cinema as a conscious process, then you'll find this movie quite bad: the green-screen effects suck, the acting is bad, the jokes are flat and unfunny, the story is nonexistent and could be retold in a single sentence, the musical segments are way too long. But, by trying to bring contemporary Russian culture into the Third Reich (for example, Schurenberg and Garik talking about money laundering schemes; all the office work jokes; Russian celebrities) the authors have unconsciously spawned something truly post-modern, an unaware auto-portrait of the nation.

zina11111111 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.

Daubster 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.

writeagain Looking for Western analogies to "Gitler Kaput!" won't lead you further than to the latest silly parodies of "Meet the Spartans" sort. But in this case a parody ("Semnadtsat mgnoveniy vesny" (1973)) is just a skeleton, and the meat is Russian pop-culture, pop-music, popular jokes, all sorts of silly internet memes. So you don't have to be a cinephile to enjoy this movie like you do in Hollywood parodies' case. Just watch and listen like you do in circus. Busty beauties, special effects, acrobats in nazi uniform but incoherent in each and every detail - sorry if it's not your cup of tea. Don't expect too much from a trash comedy, which is a pretty new genre in Russia. One can only wonder if it matures in the years to come.
