The Accidental Husband
Emma, a radio host, is about to be married to Richard, her perfect match. But right before her wedding, she learns she's already married to Patrick, a charming but irresponsible fireman. Furthermore, Patrick has a secret: he has arranged this little trick because Emma advised Patrick's ex-fiancée to end their relationship. However, Patrick may find that the trick is on him, for he soon begins to fall in love with his uptight adversary.
Critics Sentiment
Patrick invites Emma to Ajay's Indian wedding ceremony
Emma discovers fake marriage and gets blind drunk meeting Patrick
The film recovers from its lowest point at the drunken meeting to its peak during the Indian wedding ceremony, gaining over 3 points as Emma sees Patrick's appealing side.
The film starts poorly with Patrick's malicious revenge scheme creating unlikeable characters that turn off many viewers early. It peaks during the culturally rich Indian wedding sequence where the romance becomes believable, before settling into a predictable but competently executed romantic comedy conclusion. Critics found individual elements charming but the overall premise too contrived and morally problematic.
