Goooooooooooooooooooooooooood Morning, Auschwitz!
Painfully ill-advised Holocaust dramedy has Robin Williams trying to play a
Nazi-era Jew who tries to cheer up his fellow ghetto-dwellers despite the
terrors of Nazi occupation. His method: pretending he has a (very illegal)
radio, with news of the Russians coming to save them all. Not funny, not
touching, not entertaining. The very few bright spots don't make up for the
pain that pales in comparison to a film like Life is Beautiful.
