\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

After the murder of their young son, the marriage between Macon (WILLIAM HURT) and his wife Sarah (KATHLEEN TURNER) disintegrates, and she moves out. After a freak accident puts him on crutches, Macon goes to stay with his quirky siblings at the family home, where he meets the spirited Muriel (GEENA DAVIS), a dog trainer with a young son of her own, with whom he begins a friendship. When Sarah learns about this, she attempts reconciliation and Macon is forced to make a decision.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The Accidental Tourist<\/em><\/strong> arrives on Blu-ray through Warner\u2019s Archive Collection line, presented in its original 2.40 widescreen aspect ratio and given a decent looking 1080p high-definition transfer. Colors are generally bright while detail is okay, albeit not entirely sharp. The disc comes with a standard yet adequate enough DTS-HD Master Audio Stereo track which is fine considering the bulk of this movie is dialogue driven including voiceover work by Hurt.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

Overall, The Accidental Tourist<\/em><\/strong> is an interesting little drama that excels with its performances, particularly that of William Hurt and Geena Davis (who took home an Academy Award), more so than the story, though kudos to Lawrence Kasdan for being able to turn the book into a well done drama.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
