A Review

ACCIDENTAL HUSBAND
This film revolves around Emma Lloyd played by Uma Thurma. After giving some advice on her radio show a woman divorces her husband played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan only for him to then marry Emma Lloyd to take revenge and meddle in her love life. Colin Firth also makes an appearance as the fiancé of Emma Lloyd. However, despite his squeaky clean image and being a genuinely nice guy, he is emotionally abused and walked all over throughout the film. For this reason rather than loving the character and hoping for them to get together you end up really disliking Emma Lloyd and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Colin Firth gives a decent performance and is his usual like able self. This is another romantic comedy performance for Uma Thurman who has also relatively recently appeared in My Super Ex-Girlfriend which was an equally dismal film and equally dull performance from Uma Thurman. She is more suited to the ‘Kill Bill’ or even ‘Pulp Fiction’ roles which helped to make her name as an actress. Jeffrey Dean Morgan also provides an OK performance and that is indicative of this film. Everything is ok but that is not good enough for a film to be a success.
The film turns into one monotonous dialogue with few real twists or any twists that there were, were easy predict. There is really not enough plot or character development to make this film interesting and to be honest i can’t properly remember large sections of the film, as nothing happened! There is the odd funny line but not enough for a romantic comedy especially one with such a poor plot. Ultimately, i found this film a real disappointment. Admittedly, i am not a fan of romantic comedies but compared to other recent romantic comedies like ‘Definitely Maybe’ and ‘P.S I Love You’ this film is terrible. There is not enough humor, the characters are not like able, very little happens and the dialogue is weak. I would really recommend seeing this film no matter who you are unless you are really set on seeing this film. If you do see this film, good luck!AND
