The Accidental Husband (12a)
Star rating: *
Dir: Griffin Dunne
With: Uma Thurman, Colin Firth,
Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Watch the trailer here
Fancy a fluffy romantic comedy that will send you into the mother of all bad moods? Then try Griffin Dunne's smug clunker. Uma Thurman plays Dr Emma Lloyd, radio host and self-styled relationship expert. Dr Em, a tall blonde cross between Carrie Bradshaw and Frasier Crane, is due to marry her dapper English publisher (Colin Firth). Everything is sugar and spice and all things lacey, but due to a complicated set of events, each one beggaring belief, it turns out Emma is married already to one of New York City's firefighting finest (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). What is a girl to do? You'll care less about Em's fate than the woeful lack of chemistry between the three leads and a script that's about
as funny as a fire in a pet shop. As for Thurman, she can do comedy about as well as Daffy Duck can do brain surgery. While you might wish to spend good money watching the attempt, be prepared for the grisly outcome.
