Birthday Girl (2001)
Der biedere Bankangestellte John fristet ein trostloses Dasein. Das ändert sich, als er mittels einer Internet-Partneragentur eine Ehefrau „bestellt“. Der Haken bei der Sache: Seine Nadja kommt aus Russland und spricht kein Wort englisch. Zunächst will der erboste John die Dame postwendend zurückgeben, doch dann bemerkt er, dass man auch ohne viele Worte jede Menge Spaß haben kann. Dummerweise tauchen zu Nadjas vermeintlicher Geburtstagsfeier deren russische „Cousins“ Yuri und Alexej auf und trüben die traute Zweisamkeit …
