The Russians Are Coming is not the best comedy of the year but it stands out in a lean period for good old American slapstick.

Maclean's Magazine
Rating: C+ --
Inexplicably nominated for Best Picture Oscar, Norman Jewison's situation comedy is mildly amusing, benefiting from a catchy title and allowing Alan Arkin to sport a Russian accent as sailor of a Soviet submarine.

Rating: B- --
Over-rated but still holds up as a moderately amusing sit-com lightweight parody of the cold-war and small-town America.

Fabulously funny!
Movie Mom
Arkin, in his film bow, is absolutely outstanding as the courtly Russian who kisses a lady's hand even as he draws a gun.

Sweet and charmingly funny in many places, this is dated but entertaining.

Now terribly quaint (just look at the title!) and not nearly as funny as film historians would lead you to believe.
