Needing help with domestic duties, two American brothers (Tim Blake Nelson, David Arquette) travel to Russia to interview prospective brides.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

It's Tim Blake Nelson's character who keeps the plot from spinning out of control, because he has a natural and unforced respect for these women that he yanks his brother's chain and keeps their mission on course.

Rated: 3/4

Nelson's charisma keeps the film watchable, but there are few laughs or surprises.

Cute comedy that didn't have a lot of belly laughs, but was quietly funny in the subtle ways the characters of the two brothers evolved during the film.

I thought it was more of sad film than a comedy, the best character was by Emily Mortimer.

A.k.a. "A Foreign Affair". 2 guys go to Russia to find a wife that will cook/clean for them. Pretty funny Jake thinks they should share a bride. In the end, they don't.
