Mail Order Bride is a romantic comedy movie that was released in 2003. The movie is directed by Robert Capelli Jr. and stars Danny Aiello, Robert Capelli Jr., and Ivana Milicevic in the lead roles. The movie is set in the early twentieth century when the concept of mail-order brides was prevalent in society. The story revolves around a wealthy Italian-American widower, Tony Santini (Danny Aiello), who decides to find a wife through the mail-order bride system. He places an advertisement in a magazine and soon receives a response from a woman named Lichi (Ivana Milicevic) from Burma.

Tony is overjoyed as he believes that he has found the perfect woman for him. He arranges to bring Lichi to his home in Staten Island to marry her. However, when Lichi arrives, Tony realizes that he has been deceived. The woman who claims to be Lichi is actually a mail-order bride broker named Nina (played by Mary Ann Mobley) who has sent another woman in her place.

Tony is furious with Nina, but he cannot send the woman back as he has fallen in love with her. He decides to keep her and help her adjust to life in America. However, Lichi is not as innocent as she seems. She has a hidden agenda and is using Tony for her own gain.

As the story unfolds, tensions arise between Tony and Lichi. Tony becomes increasingly suspicious of Lichi's behavior, and Lichi begins to feel trapped in their relationship. Eventually, their relationship reaches a breaking point, and Tony and Lichi must decide whether they are willing to work through their differences and save their marriage.

The movie is a heartwarming romantic comedy that explores the themes of love, trust, and cultural differences. The performances of Danny Aiello and Ivana Milicevic are excellent and bring depth and authenticity to their characters. The supporting cast members, including Robert Capelli Jr. and Mary Ann Mobley, also deliver excellent performances that add a layer of humor and entertainment to the film.

One of the key strengths of the movie is its setting. The early twentieth century provides a unique context for the story, as the concept of mail-order brides was prevalent in society during that time. The costumes and production design are also excellent and transport the viewer back to that era.

Overall, Mail Order Bride is a charming and entertaining romantic comedy that will keep the audience engaged from start to finish. It offers a fresh perspective on cultural differences and the challenges of marriage, making it a must-watch for anyone who enjoys a good romantic comedy.
