Don't Drink the Water (1994)

 

An ordinary American family goes on vacation to Europe. Because of the Cold War they are stuck in the U.S. Embassy surrounding by the Soviet forces. 

Lackluster Woody Allen comedy made for TV comes with good cast and all the typical ingredients one would expect from this director, but it's all quite haphazard and, strangely, not funny at all.

Halliwell (no star): "Frenetic and stagey version of the play, with broad acting that diminishes what is left of the comedy."

Maltin**: "Uninspired adaptation...Cast works hard, with sporadic results."
