When I started watching this movie, I assumed it was some low budget movie used to fill space on a second rate cable channel. I was so off... so wrong. This movie is hilarious, sweet, profound, gentle, realistic, and thoughtful. Men, women, girls, and boys alike would this movie.
The journey of the two brothers (who couldn't be more different from each other personality-wise) to Russia to find brides is so funny in a soft, gentle sort of way. I found it didn't trivialize or work with stereotypes regarding this process. The one flaw (if it is that) is that the movie is really from the perspective of the two brothers (until the very end). They are so naive in so many ways, and this perspective highlights it.
Such a wonderful movie. Sometimes sad, but not in a depressing way. More like "ahh... that's just life" kindasorta way.
I'd actually go as far as to say that it is one of the best movies I've seen in months. No joke. (And I watch a lot of movies).
Watch this movie.
