Uma Thurman (The Accidental Husband) is Eliza Welsh a mom who is juggling the kids and her marriage to Avery (Anthony Edwards). In this movie we follow Eliza as she lives one day. She must somehow deal with all that Motherhood throws at her while trying to maintain her sanity. Motherhood is at times slow, and at times annoying, screaming kids (too much) and the constant bombardment of everyday life at home gets to be a bit much by the end of the movie making it difficult to NOT turn it off. I think perhaps Thurman was not the best choice for this role but she does manage to pull it off. If you cannot handle the kids, then do not watch this movie. Otherwise go ahead.
Emma Lloyd has made a career out of her sensible, mature and responsible approach to relationships. She has a hit radio talk show, an impending book deal, and a loving relationship with her fiancé, Richard, a conventional sort-which is precisely what Emma is drawn to. Then Emma finds out that she is already married to a man she's never met before, a result of a misguided prank that leaves her bewildered and very confused. Worse than that, her plans for the future are now threatened. With her wedding just around the corner, Emma must find the mystery man and obtain an annulment. Emma tracks down her accidental husband Patrick, a charming and handsome neighborhood fireman, with a big secret that he was behind the accidental marriage. Unable to fess up, Patrick goes along with the ruse pretending to be just as baffled as Emma. While at first their opposite approaches to life create much tension and chaos, Emma soon starts to admire his carefree passion for life and doubt her own conservative, button-down views on life and love. As Emma's wedding draws near, she is faced with the choice between her safe life with Richard or the chance to live in the passionate and spontaneous world that Patrick inhabits. The story is very well written with lots of twists and turns and the comic timing was just right. Most movies seem to have a bit of a slow section where you wish they would just get on with it but this movie keeps you interested all the way through.Read full review
Waste -of all those involved - nothing profound- or well presented -a comedy that is not funny- it was a low budget film produced on a no string budget-I bought the dvd because I witnessed the filming of this-in New York City -as they filmed in my area much cut of what they shot- I heard Uma yelling lines from my window that were not in the film-Uma was finishing her trial with her fan stalker- around the time this was filmed - and she looks - very hunted with her red sprayed messy hair and exhausted facial expressions- if you want to see the west village of new york city- this is worth a peek- but for drama or forced comedy- there is no plot -focal interest or appealing characters to relate to- I hope the star names worked for below scale- there are student films with unknowns more whimsical than this- there is a british story on line that said in England only one person sat in the theatre. The title of the newspiece was Thurmon's Motherhood grosses 8.00 in england.Read full review
Great movie but it kept skipping ball at first. Then I wiped it clean with a lens cleaning cloth and it played fine.
