“Me and Mrs. Jones” is a British made-for-television movie about a tabloid journalist who poses as a fundraiser to get some inside dirt on Prime Minister Laura Bowden. Things get complicated when they fall in love. Director Catherine Morshead has created an entertaining but predictable romantic comedy from an adequate teleplay by Caleb Ranson.
The stars turn out acceptable performances, including Caroline Goodall as the PM and Robson Green as the slimy reporter. The supporting cast includes Philip Quast, Peter Firth, Keeley Hawes, Michael Maloney, Aisling O’Sullivan, and Katy Murphy. “Me and Mrs. Jones” was first broadcast on UK television in 2002, and received an airing in America on “Masterpiece Theater” in 2003.
