I Was a Mail Order Bride

I Was a Mail Order Bride is a 1982 American made-for-television romantic comedy film directed by Marvin J. Chomsky and starring Valerie Bertinelli and Ted Wass.

Reviewer Fred Rothenberg wrote that the film was "a standard television vehicle" and "totally implausable, halfway diverting".

[1] He furthermore complained about Wass and Bertinelli's character's "charade reminiscent in style, but not substance", and continued: "The premise is weak but has enough fluffy charm to sustain early attention.

[..] One major problem of the film is that this unconventional farce too quickly forgets the building relationship for the dissolving one.

"[1] Nevertheless, the movie was the ninth-most viewed prime time show in the United States for the week of its release.
