If you like Jarmusch movies you like this one.
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.
Funny stuff
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.
