Rubbish. This sums up this movie in one word. How people had the intellect to make this movie is beyond me as it's just bad bad bad.
The movie is about an old man named Frank, who, to make a long story short, wants a woman. He gets his friend to place an ad in the newspaper and the girls flock in. Needless to say none are too impressed with him and they meet a pathetic, rubbishly acted death.
The acting is bad and terribly over-acted, with the 'actors' shouting all the time. The dialog is just terrible. Seems to me the director had a number of lines that he always wanted in a film, and just made up a scene to put them in.
The sound is absolutely terrible, and so bad in parts that it had to be subtitled in post-production because it could not be understood!
It's totally boring. To better understand this type of film, it's best to think of it as a TROMA-type film, where it's supposed to be outrageous and funny. TROMA do class movies. But this just fails on every level. Trust me, you will be disappointed. Hope you don't waste your money on this one. Some of the guys say that the Region 1 is better. The one I watched was the Region 2, and it sucked. Maybe all the good bits were cut, leaving an empty shell of a movie. So if you are tempted to buy, get the region 1.

Saw the photos 10 years ago and only last year I finally found the movie!!!
It is CULT WEIRD and absolutely ONLY for true nerds believe me, it is as B as it gets!
Frank is amazing and the story is funny in a VERY disturbing way!
Watch the trailer to hard to explain!
Maybe think Waters and Divine in the early days a bit!
One of my top number ones!

This has got to be one of the sickest,funniest filthiest low budget horror flicks out there. If your a fan of the john waters school of filmaking this little indie flick should be right up your alley,but be warned the r2 scream house release is cut! Get the r1 and enjoy!!!

I was on the edge of my seat through the whole of this film and through many of the bloody/gory scenes had to cover my eyes.
The way in which frank murders these women is pure evil - but i found my self watching in anticipation as to what he could possible do next.
Definatly not for the squeemish people but if you are up for real horror then this is the film for YOU.

HASH(0x9e251b70) out of 5 stars Bride Of Frank 2 July 2004
By HypnoDude - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
The Story: The tale of one man's search for love and his trials and tribulations along the way, kind of.
Frank is a bum. He gets taken in by trucking business workers who adopt him like some strange pet. They give him a job, a cot in the back, and even throw him a birthday party with a cake in the shape of two large breast. Oh, did I mention, Frank LOVES breasts?
The guys put an ad in the paper for him in hopes of finding him the perfect bride. What follows are several hilarious scenes of violence and depravity. And when Frank says something he means it. He tells one guy he's going to rip off his head and shit down his neck, and he does, in a scene so repulsively side-splitting that you won't know whether to puke or dab your tears of laughter with a hankie.
Bride of Frank is one of those extremely rare movies that can simultaneously offend you drastically while making you laugh uncontrollably. In the first two minutes alone, Frank picks up a young girl (played, incidentally, by the director's niece), beats her to death with a stick, and runs her head over with a truck.(...).
Don Balde picked his star when he met him on the street a couple years before the film. I don't know who this guy is, or where he came from, but he's an ugly sumbitch and is nearly unintelligible: all his dialogue is sub-titled.
Shot in and around Newark, NJ, Bride of Frank is one of the most offensive, repulsive, violent, sexist, and straight up hilarious movies you're ever likely to see. Don Balde has said that he set out to make a movie which would offend everyone. He succeeds spectacularly. Bride of Frank is the quintessential "so-bad-it's-good" movie.
If you're looking to break up with your girl friend for any reason and want to get the job done right, take the time it will take to hunt this movie down and pop it into the VCR instead of the latest Gwyneth Paltrow drama-fest and have her watch it with you. Rest assured, you'll be single again long before final fade out.

HASH(0x9e251cc0) out of 5 stars Horribly Offensive--Not for Whiney Babies! 3 Sept. 2004
By J. Dirig - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I saw this movie at its US premiere at the Chicago Underground Film Festival years ago. It's downright Offensive! Lovers of Troma movies will thrill to this one! Read the other reviews for details. I'm just going to tell you that this is NOT A DATE MOVIE.

Naturally, I loved it!

HASH(0x9e91f0e4) out of 5 stars A Demented Masterpiece 16 Sept. 2004
By Schmaltz - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
A homage to the workingman disguised as an exercise in sickness and depravity. Filled with biting humor and priceless genuine characters. I've seen my share of no budget gross out flicks and they all sucked. Bride of Frank is proof that a talented person can produce something riveting with a camera, a few locations, and a troupe of 'common people'. Although technically very rough, the movie is more creatively photographed than a lot of other higher-budgeted fare. There are other flaws, but not worth mentioning. This is a must-see.

HASH(0x9e251e7c) out of 5 stars A JOY TO BEHOLD! 16 Sept. 2004
By Randall - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
This is one of the most amusing movies I've ever seen. This is what movie-making is about! The other reviews here give you a good idea of what this movie is about, but nothing can really prepare you for it, and that's good! If you're a jaded movie fan, such as I, you've come to expect let downs from movies. You wish and hope for the scene to go where it really should go. I know I've prayed to the great movie god during movies, "Please, please go there!" A movie rarely does. This one does. This movie also boasts some truly excellent dialogue. You will laugh. You will be repulsed. You will be shocked. Thank you Bride of Frank!

HASH(0x9e251fcc) out of 5 stars PSYCHOTRONIC and TOUCHING !! 23 Sept. 2004
By Tom Goryssimo - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
Allright, that movie is insane,violent and extremly shocking. Now that being said, i also want to point the fact that it's way more than that. It's also a sincere tribute to real people : so called ugly people , poor people, lonely people and hard working people. It's like a cross between the crazyest of TROMA and a genuine social commentary. Check this movie out and it will disgust you, it will make you laugh but on top of it all, it will make you think.
