Match made in London

The War Bride (2001)

Directed by Lyndon Chubbuck this film stars Anna Friel, Brenda Fricker, Aden Young and Molly Parker. A young woman from London marries a Canadian soldier during WW2 and gets shipped off to Canada to live with the in laws who do not take kindly to her arrival.

This is pretty standard fish out of water stuff that has few surprises or anything new to say. It takes a while to actually get to Canada and the London sections of the film probably could have been trimmed down a little with no real negative affect on the film. In the end this is a fairly shallow piece that has little for or against it.

3/5
