A private detective (Hugo Weaving) in Australia agrees to marry his best friend's (David Wenham) mistress (Natalia Novikova) to keep her from being deported.

A talky, plodding romantic comedy in which the viewer is just waiting for the obvious plot twist to happen. And when it does, it's too unconvincing to feel satisfying.

Quickly becomes silly and tedious.

A tone of lame amiability doesn't compensate for lack of invention.

There's a charm in these romantic developments that overcomes all its staleness.

The series develop very well to a philosophical statement, however it is slow.

Russian Doll is cute movie about a Australian man who is having an affair with a Russian women whos visa is going to end so he asks his best friend to marry her so she would be able to stay. At first Ethan and Katia hate each other, but as time goes on they start to fall for each other which means trouble for Harvey. Hugo Weaving and David Wenham lacked their usual charisma and depth of character, which was the biggest dissapiontment because I've enjoyed their previous performances.
