Press Release

“Two Brothers and a Bride” is “ A Foreign Affair “ the movie re-titled for DVD Release.

On July 15, 2004, the Ebert & Roeper reviewed (two thumbs up!) movie “A Foreign Affair” was released for DVD and video distribution via most major rental outlets. The distributors ascertained via past sales data that the word 'foreign' in a title would lessen popular appeal in retail outlets. “Two Brothers and a Bride “ is now the release title to look for in your local rental store, online book store or the Foreign Affair website.

Total and absolute piece-of-

I whole-heartedly and without reservation recommend that any and all interested in viewing this "movie" save their money or make other plans.

Even if I was not involved in the process I would consider this movie pointless and plotless. There was no movie here! No beginning, no middle, no ending - just a string of semi-related scenes that did not seem to have a point.

I still do not know what the idea or message was for this flick?!

Nor do I understand why it was made; other than, perhaps, to make a quick $$ on the increasing interest in the former USSR and public curiosity surrounding the "Mail Order Bride" industry.

Its as if the script was written in one night by a drunk tourist stuck in his Moscow hotel room. Simply terrible!

Just my .02
