The Accidental Husband (Senior Screening)
Date Location
Talk radio host Emma Lloyd (Thurman) advises one of her listeners to dump her fireman fiancée days before their wedding. Jilted ex Patrick (Morgan) decides to get his revenge on the radio host and her posh, dull husband-to-be Richard (Firth) with comic and romantic results. Solid, likeably old-fashioned romantic comedy with decent performances and a simple predictable script that never overreaches itself.

Daddy Day Camp
Date Location
Unloveable sequel to the equally unlovable 'Daddy Day Care' which hails a new low in Gooding's career. Crude and sentimental, the film relies on bodily-fluid gags that fall well short of the barely-raised bar established by kiddie pratfall comedies such as 'Cheaper by the Dozen'.

The Simpsons Movie
Date Location
It's not going to change the world and, at 90 minutes, it slightly runs out of steam but this is nonetheless a fairly enjoyable big screen outing for everyone's favourite family. The plot, as ever, is secondary: Homer accidentally pollutes the Springfield water supply and causes a mass exodus. While the strong political satire of the early episodes has long been replaced by pop culture references, this will still be one of the surefire hits of the summer.
