The Accidental Husband is a thoroughly unsurprising film, it follows the same pattern that all romantic comedies do and the story isn’t that good either. Rather unoriginal and simple, this film is one of those you can watch once but hardly think about watching again.
Of course there were a couple of nice twists, like the Bollenbeckers (they were absolutely hilarious) and the Indian family Patrick was living with, but that’s about it. Otherwise the story and character development was pretty much non-existent and for example Colin Firth’s character remained rather distant and cold to the viewer.
This wasn’t a bad film, I’ve seen many worse, but it wasn’t anything exceptional either. No scene in the film moved me in any way, so I doubt I’ll be ever watching this one again.
