2 Brothers & a Bride (2002)
Member Rating:  
Two men look for a wife -- just one will do, thank you -- in this offbeat comedy. Jake (Tim Blake Nelson) and Josh (David Arquette) are two brothers who live and work in a vegetable farm somewhere in the Midwest, where they're looked after by their Ma (Lois Smith), who cooks, cleans, and keeps the guys company. When Ma dies, Jake and Josh find they're a bit lonely all by their lonesome, and more importantly, they're not much good at everyday domestic activities, so they decide to do the sensible thing -- one of them will get married so they'll have someone else to talk to and handle things in the kitchen and the laundry room. Woefully naïve, socially clumsy, and less interested in romance than day-to-day practicalities, Jake and Josh decide to head out on a matchmaking tour to St. Petersburg, Russia, where they're promised introductions to hundreds of women over the space of two weeks, in hopes that they'll find an understanding, old-fashioned wife who doesn't mind having a third wheel around at all times. A Foreign Affair was shot on location in St. Petersburg in the former Soviet Union, and in Chihuahua, Mexico, which stood in for the United States. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    I was surprised at this movies' progression. These two brothers really developed into men before my eyes. The little twist that came toward the end made it for me.

    This is a rather humorous film about two brothers on a farm finding a russian bride. However, Lois Smith's character seems to come out of nowhere and get very close to the two main characters. A good film otherwise

    Yes   |   No

    This movie touches on a practice that few people have an appreciation for - people going to another country thinking they are going to find something they could not in their backyard. The more open minded and curious you are, the better the movie is. Some of the relationships illustrated could have been tempered to be more believable

    Yes   |   No
