Synopsis

When their Mom dies, farmboys Jake and Josh realize they are incapable of cooking and cleaning, so decide to go to Russia to buy a wife. Older brother Jake plans the trip with military precision but Josh is like a kid in a candy store. Josh starts spending all their hard-earned cash on drinks, parties and expensive fur coats for his dates, whereas an increasingly frustrated Jake is finding it impossible to explain "two husbands and no sex" to bewildered Russian women. Jake enlists the help of an English journalist, to be his translator; trouble is that Angela is just after a story.
