Storyline

John is a mild-mannered banker who has never been lucky in love. Fed up with waiting for the right girl to come along, John takes a chance on a Russian mail-order bride arranged via the Internet, where he is introduced to Nadia. John's fondness for Nadia grows... until the sudden arrival of Nadia's gregarious cousins makes John realize that he's in over his head.

Critics consensus

“Kidman shows her range in this quirky movie, but the shift in tone from romantic comedy to thriller may leave viewers unsatisfied.”

Uneven thriller isn't for kids. Kidman's great.

A deviant topical comedy which is funny from start to finish.

RTThe Hollywood ReporterApr 8, 2002

'Butterfingered' is the word for the big-fisted direction of Jez Butterworth, who manages to blast even the smallest sensitivities from the romance with his clamorous approach.

It's a bit of a mess, but is saved by Chaplin's sad sack portrayal of the love sick John.
