I saw Moscow on the Hudson last night, in a sold out (4-plex) theater.
It was dull.  No fault of the actors, the script was just dull.  The
jokes were sometimes painfully gratuitous, especially with respect to
gays in NYC.  (They did get chuckles from morons in the audience.)
This film had loads of potential, but it didn't deliver.

The acting was credible, and there were touching and funny moments.
Just not nearly enough of them to make up for the lousy script.  Even
Robin Williams fans will not enjoy this, because his well played
character has nothing to say here, and this role doesn't have much of
the incredible improvisation which would make Williams fun to watch in
even the worst movie.

Broadway Danny Rose, on the other hand, was terrific.
