Police Academy: Mission to Moscow

a review by Potential Kermode

See a boiled egg fly through the air from one mans mouth to another mans mouth and then back again - all in Technicolor!

Comedy - negligible. Interest factor - negligible. Original cast members - negligible. Audiences watching it in the theatres in 1994 - negligible. Box office gross - negligible.

Farting noises - absolutely. Cartoon sound effects - absolutely. Disinterested/embarrassed performances - absolutely. Enthusiastic Russian actors who believe they are performing in a masterpiece - absolutely.

After watching this movie I had forgotten how to smile. I saw somebody else laughing and I had to ask them what they were doing with their face and what the unusual sound meant.
