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

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It skewers hawkish reactionism and mob militancy, and its sympathetic portrayal of the beached Russians -- not to mention the panicky buffoonery of the Americans -- probably gave the more rabid Commie-haters conniptions.

Fabulously funny!
Movie Mom
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.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Though the film is more than two hours long, the pace is always quick, thanks to the fine editing done by Williams and future director Ashby.

Rating: 5/5 --
A true classic Cold War comedy told with wit, slapstick, and paranoia.

Rating: 3/5 --
Now terribly quaint (just look at the title!) and not nearly as funny as film historians would lead you to believe.
