In this comedy of misplaced expectations, two brothers (David Arquette and Tim Blake Nelson) living in the midwestern United States long for the old days when women followed traditional lives as wives and homemakers. When their mother passes away, the men realize how indispensable she had been around the house. Believing that they need a wife to take over where their mom left off, they travel to Russia seeking a woman (Emily Mortimer) to marry one of them--but all they really need is a housekeeper! [More]

Reviews for 2 Brothers & a Bride
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.
Nelson's charisma keeps the film watchable, but there are few laughs or surprises.
In the end, it's not going to bother anyone, and it's funnier than it has a right to be. Just don't expect real comedic insight into the ways human beings stumble into love.
Neither funny enough to be a comedy nor serious enough to pass for drama.
This is one case where the director would have been better off pointing his camera at real subjects. The truth, in this case, is almost sure to be stranger than the fiction.
A Foreign Affair is an altogether enjoyable diversion, a light and clever comedy that offers some great performances in a unique setting. Plus it's about ten times more sincere and entertaining than what passes for romantic comedy these days.
