The Civilization of Maxwell Bright

Running time: 99 mins

Max Bright is in hell. And he has a lot of problems with women?mostly due to his rather malignant attitude. Max, who is the epitome of a male chauvinist pig, resolves to find a submissive woman as his mate, after an explosive bout with his lover. So, he purchases a Chinese mail-order bride.

Six weeks and one hundred thousand dollars later, Mai Ling arrives. Max is stunned by her beauty and can?t wait to show off his new bride to his buddies. Drunk and obnoxious as ever, Max orders Mai Ling to strip for his friends, but when she refuses, he learns that she is not who he assumed. She is, in fact, much, much more and, through her commitment, may be the only one capable of saving Max (with whom he comes into contact) from himself.

An impressive cast, lead by Patrick Warburton (Seinfeld, The Tick), adds tremendous energy to director David Beaird?s absorbing saga of the ?male ego.? It is also a story that takes a look at a philosophy of complete non-violence when it is ?caged and joined at the hip with a monster.?
