The Accidental Husband

The Accidental Husband
 
Emma Llyoid (Uma Thurman) is a woman that knows what kind of men women need. She moderates her own talkshow in the radio and gives advice to all the unhappy women. And well, they listen to her, take her serious, do what she says. Because Emma is an expert according to true love, you know, there is no prince charming. So one day Sophia calls, she is going to get married on the weekend, but all the five point whatever stuff didn´t fit to her potential husband. Emma is shocked, so Sophia is not getting married and her ex-boyfriend kind of angry about this radio-lady. He takes revange by changing Emma "unmarried status" into a "married status" with a friend of  him who is a hacker. This is a dramatic step, because Emma wants to marry the perfect man, but now first she has to get divorced. She gets to know her husband Patrick Sullivan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) better, and guess what, she falls for him, he for her, and so on. I watched this movie in the Sneak Preview, I was laughing my head of. All clichees existing about men and women and love are packed here, and of course it´s Hollywood style, it´s a light entertainment, nothing to take serious or to think about. In the end it becomes so horribly sweet and wonderful that I just couldn´t believe people would pay money for this. The actors look extremly good, both men worth watching and Uma Thruman is dressed just great all the way long. There are some funny scenes too, and the indian friend of Patrick is really nice´and smart, but I can´t remember the soundtrack, so this could not have been any special. So in conclusion, I wasn´t convinced.
