Accidental Love isn’t very good—and might never have been very good, judging from the general air of desperation—but much of it is identifiably Russell’s work, and its scattered best moments recall Huckabees’ inspired loopiness. Read full review

Accidental Love is mostly a mess, a curiosity for fans, and a mangled misfire you'd understand anyone hoping to omit from their CV. Read full review

To be fair to whoever refashioned Accidental Love from the abandoned scraps of Nailed, there’s little reason to believe that the ideal, untroubled version of the material would have been a comedic masterstroke. Read full review

Given Russell’s involvement and a fairly solid cast that includes Jake Gyllenhaal and Catherine Keener, just how awful could it be? Really awful. Unwatchably awful. As in, “Give it the Razzie now and be done with it” awful. Read full review

The satire is broad and forced and unfunny, there’s no cadence to the setups and visual punch lines, and the likable cast is hopelessly lost. Some disasters should remain forgotten. Read full review

The bastard offspring of a charmless romcom and a toothless political satire. Read full review

So flimsily constructed, visually and narratively, that it resembles a middle-school play that's been hastily filmed on an antique camcorder. Read full review

Horribly troubled, horribly made, but horribly enjoyable, Accidental Love delivers on what it aims to be.

Cinematically, the plot was cliched and offensive and the production aspects were boring, but the film had an excuse. This film was technically directed by David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle) in 2008, but he dropped his involvement in the film and much of it was reshot without him. This film made me laugh in many parts, however, and that is what this film is meant to be, a comedy. So do not watch this if you are looking for high-quality work like Russell's other films, but this is a lot of fun to watch.… Expand

Sloppy and forgettable. This film should never have seen the light of day. Also love the fact that the pull quote they used for the physical media packaging was taken so far out of context that the reviewer felt compelled to post a follow up article to publicly shame the media companySloppy and forgettable. This film should never have seen the light of day. Also love the fact that the pull quote they used for the physical media packaging was taken so far out of context that the reviewer felt compelled to post a follow up article to publicly shame the media company responsible. The director had his name removed from this project for a very good reason. Do not rent it under any circumstances.… Expand

Worst movie i have seen in years, didn't expect that at all knowing that it has an A-class cast, from Gyllenhal and Biel to Gulley and Brown Jr. I swear I did not even laugh once, was bored to my eyebrows, and the story is inexplicably stupid.
