Director: Griffin Dunne
Year: 2008
Stars: Uma Thurman, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Colin Firth
The main reason for choosing to watch this was its length. At just 1 hour and 20 minutes, it was a good excuse not to clean the house for an extra hour or so. Of course, I had originally wanted to see it - it sounded like a good, easy-to-watch romantic comedy.
I was right about it being a romantic comedy. And a relatively easy to watch one at that. However, the word "good" may be taking things a little bit far. The Accidental Husband is nothing if not your average romantic comedy. There's not necessarily anything wrong with that. I know what I'm getting with romantic comedies, and am happy to give them a watch every so often.
The problem with this particular movie is that none of the characters are particularly likable - apart from perhaps the guy who gets ditched. And that's still just Colin Firth doing "romantic comedy Colin Firth". Oh, sorry, did that spoil the plot for you? Really?
Rating: 2 out of 5
