4.0 out of 5 stars You get the feeling that men like this really exist, May 4, 2008

This review is from: Russian Doll (DVD)

If you are interested in getting a glimpse into the world of cross-cultural relationships, infidelity, and one lonely man's search for happiness, then Russian Doll is a pleasant way to spend an evening.

Hugo Weaving stars as Harvey, a bumbling bachelor nearing middle-age. The movies plot centers around how he and Katya, a Russian mail order bride find a way beyond their loneliness and happiness together.

Unlike your typical mail order bride movie, Harvey doesn't order Katya. Evan, Harvey's best friend needs a place to "stash" his mistress, and enlists Harvey to marry her as a front.

I won't spoil the movie, but I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Weaving once again shows his versatility as he is able very believable in this role, a far departure from Mr. Smith, in the Matrix movies.

Recommended!

Cheers!
