StreetDreamer83 Review of Mail Order Wife

Mail Order Wife (2004)

Not a great movie but not a horrible one either

[6/10 · 23 May 2006]

I watched this film based on the comments that were made on the cover. Going by that, I was expecting hilarity and laughs galore; a real comedy. Boy was I wrong. This film should have never been promoted as a comedy of any sort. There was maybe one real true funny moment in the film. Much of it was hard to watch, not because it was bad but because some of the scenes were pretty disturbing. I came away from this film with dislike for the three main characters. If anything else can be said, that is the first time I have ever felt that way after watching a movie. Andrew and Adrian are completely dislikeable characters with few, if any redeemable traits and Lichi, who is a character you want to see overcome all these obsticles through much of the film turns out to be detestable as well.
