    Great idea, superb film...

    After seeing Jeffrey Dean Morgan in the superb P.S. I Love you, it was great to watch him on screen again in a pretty similar role in this one, and I hope there are many more . The accidental husband is a really great little idea, with some excellent scripting and performances from all involved, not a completely 'samey' sort of rom-com this one has more to it and as sentimental as it is, one of my top rom-coms of the year so far. On top of that it has a superb cover version of the Buzzcocks 'Ever Fallen In Love With Someone' just at the right point of the film. Definately worth a watch and recommended for a cuddly night out - or in !
