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.

1/4

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

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.

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.

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.

Found this under the title “Nailed!” So it took me some time to figure out it was retitled! Why no clue. Funny, stupid, politic satire. If you want something with substance then look away cause this ain’t it.

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!

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
