Leave your thoughts about Mail Order Wife.
| Filmcritic.comChris Cabinhas a knack for sniffing out our dark areas without pity |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansYou know you're in trouble when baseballer-turned-ratfink Jose Canseco isn't the sleaziest thing in your movie. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibThis black comedy on the making of a documentary about mail-order wives finally breaks down under the weight of its twists and turns, but mostly maintains a creepy fascination with its scuzzy characters. |
| Austin ChronicleMarrit IngmanThe best surprise is Yuan, the daughter of Hong Kong actress Cheng Pei-Pei. She has great screen presence and invests Lichi with a mix of kitty-cat cuteness and hellcat ferocity. |
| SalonAndrew O'HehirCompletely deranged, and the portrait it paints of our beloved country depicts a dangerous place full of neurotics and obsessives. But lots of fun, with porn, booze, backyard barbecues and elaborate revenge schemes! |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)A movie that rewards your intelligence and curiosity. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIt took gifted hucksters to make this movie, a funny and spirited - what to call it? |
| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinThe directors pull off this faux documentary. |
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderLike a Farrelly Brothers movie, Mail Order Wife tries to be both politically correct and incorrect at the same time. The results are entertaining, but may cause uneasy mixed feelings. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenThe decidedly irreverent nature of much of the proceedings will be a turnoff to some viewers, a tonic to others. |
