It's a 10 minute long sketch that was needlessly pushed into an hour.
A cold war / Western comedy involving a secret agent from the Soviet Union trying to disperse a bunny rabbit with a biological weapon has to blend in with American society while dealing with a cowboy who is actually a Counter Intelligence officer working for the FBI.
There's also a secondary plot involving five weird individuals who are trying to capture the biological weapon for their own means. This involves a Nazi General, a seductive European mistress, a small man and a stereotypical (racist) Chinese man.
And finally there's a tertiary story involving two young kids flirting with one another. One is a cowgirl who's the daughter of the secret FBI Cowboy and the other is a young man who's the lead singer and guitarist for a 1960s rock and roll band.
The entire story is incredibly over-the-top and filled with Mindless slapstick humour and bad ethnic jokes.
You would suspect that most of the movie would be focusing around the secret Soviet make-believe cowboy and his biological weapon.
But the movie ends of devolving into the weird antics of the secondary gang who are trying to steal the weapon to begin with.
Then to make it even worse this third story becomes more prominent later on too.
It's an absolute mess of a film. It moves too quickly for any of the stories to have any real character development and yet is incredibly boring at the same time.
The acting is atrocious. A good rule thumb is keep your silly characters to a minimum. Two or three characters with a weird accent is one thing but to have half your cast is another.
There's one okay rock and roll song in the middle of the movie along with two or three amusing scenes. But the entire film is not worth the effort.
Your characters range from over-the-top ridiculous to incredibly boring. The only times you find any enjoyment is when the secondary gang of stereotypes are interacting with each other. Otherwise you have to deal with the world's most boring Americans or a bad Russian accent delivered by a guy in a slow and lacking manor.
The film feels very mean-spirited. It portrays anyone whose foreign as a whack job anyone that's not ''normal'' as some sort of circus performance. Even the normal people are shown in such a boring light that you can't care about them.
There are no characters to root for.
Except for the commander of the Soviet submarine who so over-the-top and so ridiculously fanatic that you can't help but be amused by his Antics.
Especially given how indifferent he is to everything around him.
He sent a guy off to die pointlessly in the middle of the United States Why'll he sits on the submarine drinking vodka and eating chicken.
