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 advising his fiancee (on air) that they call the whole thing off. So she does.

Put credulity on hold, sit back and enjoy watching Doctor Uma getting a taste of her own untested medicine.

In a role worlds away from his doomed character in Watchmen, Robert Downey Jr-lookalike Morgan gives as good as he gets, while Firth does the dashing Brit thang like only he can.

Flirty and chirrupy, it couldn't offend if it tried.
