The Accidental Husband

Internet security should be a cause of major concern for the average American citizen.

Not only can some spotty oik hack into the Pentagon's mainframe...here a resourceful nethead manages to marry someone off in a flurry of keystrokes.

The beaming bridegroom is New York firefighter Patrick (Dean Morgan), a rough-around-the-edges regular dude who lives above a curry house.

The blushing bride is radio "love doctor" Emma Lloyd (Thurman), a DJ who dispenses practical advice regarding affairs of the heart.

Yet there one small problem affecting the honeymoon - she doesn't know she's legally wed...and was all set to tie the knot with charming English attorney Colin Firth.

Yes. She's the victim of a phantom betrothal after she cheesed Patrick off big time by on air advice to his fiancee that they call the whole thing off. So she did.

Even rom-com's need a relatively believable premise but the idea that you can find yourself hitched as a result of a few clicks on your keyboard is really pushing it.

Thurman, who also produces, is not a natural comic actor while for Morgan it's his second dismal romantic outing in as many weeks after the lamentable PS I Love You.

Firth - the dashing British romantic fallback-by-appointment - barely breaks a sweat in a by-the-numbers outing that remains so inoffensive it rarely engages.

Go for the purposeful divorce.
