A clueless politician falls in love with a waitress whose erratic behavior is caused by a nail stuck in her head.

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.

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.

Absolutely loved it. As quirky as they come. Got the impression everyone was having a blast making the movie.

Accidental Love is a comedy about a girl and a guy and how at a proposal the girl gets into an accident and then the guy takes back his proposal and then it turns into this light-hearted political dig at the American health system. This movie has Jessica Biel from Seventh Heaven and Jake Gyllenhaal and Tracey Morgan plus the rest of the cast is great, Not a bad little date/family movie with parental guidance recommended.

Socialist politics disguised as a rom-com. And really badly done to boot.

Yeesh. I can see why O'Russel pulled his name off of this... what a mess.
