Determined to toughen the boy... Brooklyn native Danny Aiello stars in this mafia comedy as Uncle Tony, a head NY mobster unimpressed by his nephew Athony's futile attempts to fit in with his family. Determined to toughen the boy up, Tony assigns Anthony to a special task that will really test his character. Paired with Ivan, the comparably weak son of Moscow's biggest mobster, Anthony must go to Russia and retrieve a mail-order bride who pulled a fast one on one of Tony's pals. Through a series of hilarious adventures, Anthony and Ivan might just prove they are tough guys after all. This comedy boasts strong performances from an incredibly diverse cast. In addition, the film really captures the essence of Russian culture through on-location shooting in some of Moscow's most impressive locales. [More]

This harmless nickels-and-kopecks comedy goes by the theory that if one Mafia is funny, two must be hilarious.

This amateurish comedy features some amazing sequences shot in Moscow. But everything else about it is second rate.

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.

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.

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.
