About This Movie

The Accidental Husband, directed by Griffin Dunne, has this light, quirky charm that’s pretty distinct. Uma Thurman plays Emma, a radio host caught in a whirlwind of wedding plans only to find out she has an unexpected husband. The pacing feels breezy, which suits the rom-com vibe, but it really leans into the chaos of misunderstandings. Colin Firth as Richard adds a nice contrast to John Corbett's laid-back Patrick. There’s some decent chemistry among the leads, but the film’s real strength lies in its exploration of commitment and the absurdity of love. Plus, the New York setting gives it that extra dose of charm. It won’t change your life, but there’s something comforting about it.

Released in 2008, runs 90 minutes.Features a mix of humor and romance with a whimsical tone.Filmed on location in New York City.Uma Thurman and Colin Firth lead the cast.
