Also starring Frank Gorshin (from the original Batman) and Vincent Pastore (from The Sopranos). Mail Order Bride premiered at the 2003 American Film Market. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Bob Campbell, Minneapolis Star Tribune
This harmless nickels-and-kopecks comedy goes by the theory that if one Mafia is funny, two must be hilarious.
-
Megan Lehmann, New York Post
It took a committee of directors and scriptwriters to assemble this oafish farce, brimming with creaky jokes, frenzied overacting and 'madcap' moments such as an ineptly staged pie-in- the-face bar brawl.
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
If Mail Order Bride, a strained, incoherent farce, accomplishes anything positive, it will be to drive another nail into the coffin of that exhausted subgenre, the mob comedy.
-
Nat Johnson, Village Voice
The hapless goodfella-in- training is as unsuccessful at fulfilling his uncle's wishes as the star and co-director, Robert Capelli Jr., is at delivering punchlines.
-
Oz, eFilmCritic.com
A caustic commentary on how men handle love.
