Synopsis: Three friends try to make money and force subtly another friend (Williams) on a plot. As they flee in front of the gangster Golden Pole (Jones) the eruption of an Icelandic vulcan let them land in Lithuania. To find their way back home, they'll have to overcome hit men, whores, corrupt cops, smugglers and more. 
Review: The story is relatively flat. There is a huge amount of gags happening in Lithuania and this makes the movie entertaining. The movie lives only from the many strange and funny characters of Lithuania. 
The acting of the Lithuanians is very burlesque while the Brits keep the British humour. The rest is conventional. Thus an average movie. 
Rating: 4 /10
