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. Aug 14, 2015 | Rating: 1/4

For this kind of comedy to work, absolute precision and relentless speed are essential. Given the circumstances in which the was made, it is little surprise that neither are achieved. Jun 18, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Accidental Love fields a top-level cast in a low-level comedy that combines the peculiar subjects of a nail in the brain, and pork-barrel Washington politics. Jun 18, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

[A] smoking crater of a film ... the end result has vital scenes missing, no ending, and performances that often don't make sense. Jun 18, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

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. May 8, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

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. Oct 30, 2017 | Full Review…

If Russell had been around to fine tune Accidental Love... in its final stages then the satirical blows the film aims at US politics and health care would surely have had a better chance of hitting their target. Jun 27, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
