“Accidental Texan” (** out of four) was an amiable but ambling character melodrama about a young man (Rudy Pankow) who winds up stranded in Texas and hooks up with a bankrupt oil driller (Thomas Haden Church) and they set off on an adventure across Texas to outwit a corrupt oil company from foreclosing on them both. Genteel feel, with some nice moments in Julie Denny and Cole Thompson’s script and beautiful photography by Matt Wise, but story is flat-footed and never really gets going. Church is strong as usual in a role that fits him like a glove.
