Needing help with domestic duties, two American brothers travel to Russia to interview prospective brides.

3/4

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.

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.
