BE WARNED - SPOILERS
This is an excellent exploration of a misunderstood concept. Mail order brides conjures up a lot of stereotypes. This film shows that it's not necessarily what we think it is. It follows 6 men to the Ukraine and shows the very different experiences each man has in trying to find a wife.
Of the six, Bobby was perhaps the saddest. His desperation oozed out of him like pus. It was just palpable and he was, perhaps, the most unrealistic of the group. Ron, while being something of a jerk, was realistic. Robert was my favorite because he seemed to be looking for love and was fine with it if it didn't work out. It did in a big way for him though :)
Michael - he was a creep through and through and so very unrealistic and delusional, it was almost shocking the lack of self-awareness.
The documentary shows both sides of the story - the perspective of the men and the women. It's fascinating and absolutely worth seeing.
