Great idea, superb film...

PaulaWestwood from , 3rd March, 2008

After seeing Jeffrey Dean Morgan in the superb P.S. I Love you, it was great to watch him on screen again in a pretty similar role in this one, and I hope there are many more . The accidental husband is a really great little idea, with some excellent scripting and performances from all involved, not a completely 'samey' sort of rom-com this one has more to it and as sentimental as it is, one of my top rom-coms of the year so far. On top of that it has a superb cover version of the Buzzcocks 'Ever Fallen In Love With Someone' just at the right point of the film. Definately worth a watch and recommended for a cuddly night out - or in !

As bad as it gets

A Customer from Basingstoke, 4th May, 2008

Cheesy film: boring, predictable, contradictory, full of clichés and more embarrassing to womanhood than Bridget Jones - The Edge of Reason.

Weak editing and direction lets this comedy down

A Customer from London, 28th October, 2008

On release, most critics gave it 2 or 3 stars and I can see why. Romantic comedy is the hardest genre to crack because you have to compete with all those great 50s Hollywood movies, but there’s a chance for Accidental Husband to get 4 stars on DVD release if Griffin Dunne restores four deleted scenes: 1st the scene that establishes Richard Bratton (Firth) as dull but dependable, 2nd, the scene that establishes Patrick Sullivan (Morgan) as bad husband material for Sophia (Machado) this is important as it has to contrast him as good husband material for Emma Lloyd (Uma Thurman), 3rd the scene in which Patrick does the thing that makes Emma fall in love with him, and finally the scene in which Richard does the thing that makes Emma decide she can’t marry him. Oh, and introducing the wedding planner early on would make sense of the father-daughter sub-plot. Without these scenes the film is disjointed, even a little rushed, but it did remind me that I must watch High Society and June Bride again.

What a load of drivel, especially the ending, can't actually believe I watched it. You have been warned.

Watchable!

MrMago from from Romford, 15th February, 2010

This film is Ok if you have nothing else to do. It sort of plodded along and Uma Thurman was not beleivable as her character. So, if you have nothing else better to rent, then go for it.
