  What a stupid film
  
  Really - this was not worth watching. Two good actors, Uma Thurman and Colin Firth, but this film was worthy of neither of them.

  The Accidental Husband
  
  I enjoyed this film. It was a little different and wasn't as predictable as I thought it might become. Well acted and a bit different.

  As bad as it gets
  
  Cheesy film: boring, predictable, contradictory, full of clichés and more embarrassing to womanhood than Bridget Jones - The Edge of Reason.

  Accidentially rented
  
  Totally appalling. No redeeming features whatsoever. A complete waste of a good cast. Remove it from your rental list immediately.
