"Unbelievable adventures of Italians in Russia" is what you can call a classic Russian slapstick comedy. It evolves around a bunch of Italians who gain knowledge about a treasure hidden somewhere in Saint Petersburg by an old woman and who try to be the first to find it, individually. Of course, in the course of the following events, many unbelievable and comical happenings arise and the rules of plausibility are very kindly interpreted.
You do notice that this movie is not a recent one. It celebrates a form of comedy not very modern and doesn't let out a bunch of very stereotypical depictions of foreign characteristics. Sometimes the movie arrives at a dead end and the jokes don't work out perfectly and some sequences are even a bit too long.
Nevertheless, there's a lot of creativity put into this movie and you have to admire that. Some of the gags, as obvious as they may be, really stick to mind and bring at least a smile on your face. I can imagine that it matches the humor of quite a lot of people perfectly, personally I'm not the biggest slapstick fan but I did like this movie and laughed quite a few times about the sheer absurdity of events.
If you're looking for something to turn off your brain and bring a bit of joy into the evening, I recommend you to give it a try.
