Given Nicole Kidman’s track record as of late (”Moulin Rouge,” “The Others”), with any luck her new movie “Birthday Girl” will follow right in line as quality entertainment.

Kidman plays Nadia, a Russian girl who travels to England after Brit guy John, played by Ben Chaplin, orders himself a bride. But after she gets there and the two bond, Nadia’s past comes back to haunt them both.

While the mail-order bride angle has been done unsuccessfully before (“Original Sin,” anyone?) talk about a much better script and some solid on-camera work on behalf of all involved should manage to score.

The movie looks to be a stylish thriller with a laugh or two thrown in for good measure. Throw in a sexy Nicole Kidman performance and it should be just the ticket for anyone heading out for a movie this weekend.
