    Meh, it's probably a watered down version of Jenna Jameson's "27 Cocks" :p

    I like reading that people enjoy these kind of movies cos I have no goddam idea who they were made for.

    (thats a genuine point btw, not trying to be sarcastic)

    Best part of the movie is James Marsden

    BTW he finally gets the girl and sorry to spoil but the trailer gives away the ending

    Thought this review sums this tripe up nicely

    When talk show radio host Emma Lloyd (Thurman) advises a nervous bride-to-be to call off her wedding, her devastated groom-to-be Patrick (Morgan) decides revenge is the best option and, with the help of a tech whiz, marries her online (somehow). When Emma and her fiance Richard (Firth) apply for a marriage licence and find that Emma is already married, a race ensues to sort out the mess before the launch of Emma's book because this would be bad PR (the why is never explained). So Emma tracks Patrick down for an annulment, but sparks fly - will the unlikely couple end up falling for each other? You bet your ass they will because you've seen this movie a million times already. The Oscar season isn't even over and already the sorry old crap starts to creep in. The Accidental Husband is an annoying rom com: Thurman's annoying, Firth's annoying, it's annoying that these movies are still churned out and it's annoying that people still queue up to hand over hard-earned cash to watch it, ensuring that another annoying rom-com will slither into the cinemas next year. It's a weak set up for a comedy and it's played out with increasingly unbelievable developments. Morgan's Patrick should be heartbroken, angry, sad, murderous, hungry - something that would suggest that the love has left him and his life is over. But no, this is a rom-com for idiots, so the hero can't have a glum face. He's got to have a charming smile (which is annoying). Is it too much to ask for a half-decent plot or one decent line anymore?

    That's a different film, but I can understand the confusion, it's hard enough to tell this tripe apart but to have two wedding related ones in the space of a month is just pulling the proverbial!

    Oh man, my fiance is sooo lucky that I'm not into chick flicks like a lot of women. Some of my friends never miss a chick flick in the cinema and somehow enjoy even the most offensively formulaic tripe.

    Ha ha ha! you're right, that sh1t never happens, i like to see pioneering movies once in a while!

    although its a chick flick and all that i thought it was good which was surprising as i thought id get bored half way through. even though it lasts about 1 hour 45m it doesnt drag.
