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.
