Plot: What's a middle-aged woman to do when her husband walks out on her and her favorite pop star is murdered by a serial killer? Writer/director P.J. Hogan explores this and many other pressing questions in Unconditional Love, a comic murder-mystery he devised with his wife and co-screenwriter, Jocelyn Moorhouse. Their heroine, Grace Beasly (Kathy Bates), finds her placid Midwestern life turned upside down after she loses both of the aforementioned men in her life: her husband (Dan Aykroyd) and the Tom Jones-like, Welsh singing star Victor Fox (Jonathan Pryce), whom she unabashedly worships. After Fox's death, Grace impetuously flies to England for his funeral. Paying an uninvited visit to his countryside estate, she discovers Dirk Simpson (Rupert Everett), Fox's longtime, secret live-in lover, who's also in a state of shock following the senseless murder. Together, the two team up, traveling back to the Windy City to find the infamous Crossbow Killer who took Fox's life. After receiving a fall 2002 release in the U.K., Unconditional Love had its U.S. premiere on the Starz network in August 2003. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide

"A LIfe Lived In Fear Isn't Much Fun"
Added 7/15/2009

Chicago housewife Kathy Bates has an obsessive crush on recording heartthrob Victor Fox (Jonathan Pryce). When he is murdered before she can meet him, she decides to attend his funeral in England, where she lands in the middle of a battle for his reputation: on one side his sister (Lynn Redgrave), on the other his gay lover (Rupert Everett). Wild chases, wacky comedy, and sentimental soul-searching ensue. Barry Manilow and Julie Andrews show up as themselves, while Dan Ayckroyd, Peter Sarsgard, and Jack Noseworthy wind up chasing them all. It's a very cute movie that will make you feel good. Beware the dwarf in the red raincoat.

Found this through Netflix and loved it, so I just had to own it. The cast is sterling! It's a unique blend of musical, mystery, comedy, and several other genres, and it's just twisted enough that it works! Don't expect a traditional narrative, but open you mind and enjoy this unique and wonderful film!
