walter m In "Postmark Paradise," Chick(Randall Godwin) reads about mail order brides from the former Soviet Union and launches a scheme to persuade one to marry his buddy Jake(Vincent Angelini) in their small town in Michigan. Letters are exchanged and $1200 raised for Viktoria's(Natalia Nazarova) airfare. But things do not work out well as she has to make a hasty escape from Jake's unwelcome advances. Luckily, she is rescued by Reenie(Tantoo Cardinal), a waitress with a story of her own, who lets her stay at her place. Despite the serious overtones, "Postmark Paradise" is a genial and unassuming movie about how people are pretty much the same all over. It's just a difference of opportunities and between vodka and beer for Viktoria. It helps that the characters also transcend their small town stereotypes, as the movie finds its legs through a series of subplots. And it does not hurt that Tantoo Cardinal has such a good part. For the record, I would take Yzerman and Messier over Fedorov but could never choose between Yzerman and Messier.
