Accidental Love

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Cobbling together an unfinished satire on the healthcare system and contorting it into a dopey romance, Accidental Love is a cynical repurposing of unrealized potential.

It's an unmitigated disaster, not even worth a spin as a curiosity piece. Go to Full Review

Unsurprisingly, it's a mess. Go to Full Review
Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 06/21/2022
2/4
Whatever group of filmmakers took over after Russell left the project, they didn't find a consistent mark at which to set their comedy dial, though most of the time, it's set to eleven, blaring in our faces. Go to Full Review
J B Queree One Room With A View 05/08/2019
2/5
Saved only by the smattering of funny lines and a generally affable cast, perhaps it's no coincidence that this film was an accident waiting to happen. Go to Full Review
Matthew Bond The Mail on Sunday (UK) 10/30/2017
It's crude and contrived but Biel has a wide-eyed, Judy Garland-like appeal and she enjoys terrific screen chemistry with an on-form Jake Gyllenhaal. Go to Full Review

T V Jun 2 Stupid movie. I can't believe it was ever released. I watched a little more than half before I turned it off. I can't think of anything positive to say about it other than "Can I please have that 58 minutes back?". The money spent to produce this piece of crap could have helped many people in the world. Such a waste of money and talent! See more Topher S 01/25/2025 funny political satire, cheap and simple. the alternate title is better: "Nailed" See more thiago s @Thiagostone 01/21/2025 Filme ruim, o roteiro é fraco, os personagens até tentam mas nao conseguem fazer o filme ser bom, o filme parece aquelas comédias românticas de 2000, mas esse tem muito dinheiro no orçamento que nao deu certo, com isso, eu não recomendo esse filme See more Dean H @Dhamp13 02/17/2024 Would rate 0 if I could. Might be the worst.movie I've ever seen. Just painfully dumb the whole way through. Couldn't wait for it to be over See more 02/27/2022 I know I know . This was pretty terrible but a decent political commentary and it had jakey g cmon . 2.8 See more Stephen J 10/11/2021 What? This is a David O' Russell film? I must be losing my mind. He is better then this. What was he doing directing this, what was Jake Gyllenhaal and Cathriene Keener doing in this? The movie was bad enough I forgot Keener was in it. I love her in Get Out and Seinfeld! :) Luckily Jake Gyllenhaal would do better with Southpaw and Everest in 2015 and O' Russell would come out with Joy. Everyone had poor acting here too. I know people like Gyllenhaal and Keener do better then this. The film's story can be interesting, and the comedy is only a bit funny at times. 2 and a half out of 5. See more Read all reviews
