Two brothers look for a wife to take back home to the farm
19 June 2003
Tim Blake Nelson and David Arquette are brothers and farmers. When their mother dies, Nelson decides they should go find a wife "for cooking and cleaning but not for sex." They travel to St Petersburg Russia on a "romance" tour to find a wife. There they run into Emily Mortimer who's filming a documentary on these introduction services. The three leads are excellent with particular kudos to Nelson who delivers an honest performance as the older brother desperately trying to find a wife to take back. Arquette makes a nice turn as a mama's boy becoming a lothario and Mortimer is wonderful as the observer who becomes a part of the story. A very pleasant surprise of a movie. The Russian sequences were shot over two weeks during an actual romance tour.
