'Made in Hungaria' is 2009 Hungarian comedy-musical film written by Istvn Tasndi, Mikls Feny and Norbert Kbli and directed by Gergely Fony. Adapted from a stage musical with the same title, it follows the life of a group of teens from Hungary in the late 1960s, while the country was under Communist rule. The film received generally positive reviews.
Plot
Forced to return to Communist Hungary from America with his parents, Miki (Tams Szab Kimmel) brings a rebellious attitude, a trunkful of rock records, and an ambition to be the next Jerry Lee Lewis. He falls foul of the family's minder, Comrade Bigali (Peter Scherer) and is forced to perform a nationalistic folk song with Bigali's son in the school talent show. His rocking performance wins everyone over and redeems him with his friends and his girl, Vera (Tnde Kiss).Natasha Senjanovic, Associated Press, [http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/hungaria-film-review-93233 "Made in Hungaria -- Film Review"], 'The Hollywood Reporter', 28 May 2009.

Reception
The film was well received in Hungary and a reviewer for the Associated Press at the Cannes Film Festival described it as a "not very original storyline" redeemed by "top-notch actors", especially Kimmel, whose first lead role this was, and Scherer, who "evoke[s] pathos" despite the silliness of his role as the toadying party functionary.
