They Couldn't Wait To Get In. Now It's Hilarious Trying To Get Out!

ComedyTV Movie

Somewhere behind the early 1960s cold-war iron curtain, the Hollander family cause an international spying incident when Walter photographs a sunset in a sensitive region. In order to stay out of jail, the Hollanders take refuge in the American Embassy, which is temporarily being run by the absent Ambassador's diplomatically incompetent son, Axel.

VIBE

A zany Cold War romp where a clueless American family stumbles into international espionage. Expect broad gags, cultural misunderstandings, and a frantic escape from an absurdly bureaucratic Eastern Bloc. It's a silly, lighthearted caper.
