A very underrated film that is very funny, Mail order Wife use the style of Mockumentary made famous by This is Spinal Tap to tell the story of a man purchasing a wife from Burma out of a catalogue.

The documentary follows the man (a doorman at a local building) meeting her at the airport and settling her in to his house. You have to start thinking something is wrong when he shows her how to scrub the toilet bowl and then how to feed his pet python with live rats!

Of course it gets worse, but I won’t ruin the surprise for you,

Just like Spinal Tap, the comedy’s brilliance here is in its subtlety and the major characters never really letting on that anything is particularly wrong or comedic. This film will keep you laughing right up to its last moments.
