"Love knows no boundaries," proclaims an international dating website. People can now search for their soul mates around the world. In this poignant but fast-paced comedy of errors, mismatched expectations and mutual exploitation, a group of middle-aged Western men seek beautiful Ukrainian brides on a 10-day tour organized by AnastasiaDate.com. While some men appear ready to exploit younger women in an impoverished country and blame feminism for their inability to attract "traditional" mates, many are truly lonely and looking to heal from past heartbreaks. Structured in an increasingly frenetic day-by-day countdown, the men start out feeling "like kids in a candy store" when introduced to gorgeous young women and translators at a beauty pageant event. But as the clock keeps ticking, their too-good-to-be-true dreams clash with the fact that the romance tour is primarily a business trafficking in unrealistic desires. Lynne Fernie
