The MockUMentary that had me FOOLED!, 17 October 2007
10/10
Author: Steve C from United States

This is a dark and VERY disturbing film in the sense that somewhere, some place out there...this has probably happened.

The lead Character is a chubby doorman, and at first comes off as a decent guy. Soon, we come to the horrific conclusion of his true intentions. But, are we to believe that this "innocent" mail order bride is really that innocent? As the film progresses we see that not everyone behaves as they should and not all ethical choices are the correct ones. The end is by far the funniest part of this mockumentary, as the sound man's dad steals the show. With a shoestring budget, we need to keep in mind what they did with this...and the level of a film they've delivered. Give this a chance...it's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. The girlfriend and I BOTH really like this movie. Give it a chance and ignore the low rating, it is a GREAT little movie! "Keep stirring and stirring...keep stirring"
