Plot: Self-proclaimed "Cowboy Cupid" Ivan Thompson finds Mexican brides for disillusioned American men searching for the perfect wife. His clients include Rick, an ex-marine long-distance truck driver, and ...( read more read more... )Lee, a hopeful 70-year-old Vietnam veteran. They willingly pay $3,000 for a 600-mile bus ride into the heart of Mexico in a search for true love. For Ivan, love knows no borders. Ivan married a Mexican woman himself -- then divorced her when she turned the tables on him. But, one matrimonial mishap can't corral this cowboy. He might not look like he knows much about love, but his success rate proves that he just might. His strategies are quirky and entertaining, from posting ads in the Mexican papers to checking his clients' pulse. As Ivan says, anyone can find a wife, as long as they have the "huevos" to do something about it. Love doesn't just stroll up and say "Howdy!"

    The documentary is amusing, but doesn't feel quite right. It just kind of meanders along. Ivan Thompson makes up for it, though, "The Cowboy Cupid" is ridiculous.

    Documentaries are all about the subjects, or people in this case, they focus on. Good people, good documentary. Boring people, boring documentary. In this case, the subject of the film carries the picture from beginning to end, and you just never know what he's gonna do next.

    This documentary is okay, but it could have been much more engaging. Its pretty much your run of the mill film. You will be moderately engaged and chuckle a little but you won't tell for friends about it and especially not write a letter.

    This documentary was the perfect mix of a quirky character study and uncomfortable love story mixed up in a blender and dished up with a side of awesome. I thought the way the director filmed the plight of these men looking for thier future wives in Mexico, was funny but very akward and truthful in a good way. I got so uncomfortable so many times in this film that I was squirming in my seat. This often was when one of the main guys takes his new Mexican wife home to meet his parents and show her his mobile home. Wonderful break from the norm... I highly reccomend it.

    An hour and a half advertisement for Ivan's Mexican Mail Order Bride Service.
    One must note that Ivan is "still looking" for a wife himself. Oh he had himself a "Nice Mexican woman for a wife", but that ended in divorce (twice) all onna counta she wanted to go and learn her some English - and be the boss of him and all that there. Sad and disturbing.

    interesting move to see how desperate men are willing to think they are it in mexico when they are viewed as the undesirables for their bad traits. Sad but true....good to see or rent

    I don't know it kinda sounds long and boring. If someone tells me to watch it sometime I will, but I am not going to go look for it.

    I would not have seen this one if it wasn't for working at the Documentary Network. Very interesting concept, though. Almost seems as if it was made up

    Looks like you either love it or hate it. Personally I am repelled by the idea of someone doing this. However, I suppose that I cannot judge until I see it for myself.
