4/5
This take-no-prisoners family flick is not your average suburban trip. Go to Full Review
Jim Schembri Sydney Morning Herald Apr 22, 2010
0.5/5
Accidents Happen quite easily commits the menu of sins that have long dogged Australian films: bad direction, unfocused story, thin characterisation, emotional incoherence and almost no idea what type of film it is supposed to be. Go to Full Review

Accidents Happen is a credit to the Australian film industry... Go to Full Review

Star power helps Happen immensely, giving this dreary, confused picture a lift when it needs it the most. Too bad Davis couldn't fill all the roles. The film could've benefited with a little more of her personality. Go to Full Review

2/5
What emotional life there is in this set up - and with so much is going on, there isn't much - is crushed by dreadful narration. Go to Full Review
Gavin Bond Sunday Times (Australia) Apr 26, 2010
3/4
The main appeal of this modest and rambling slice of life is writer Brian Carbee(TM)s delicious dialogue, which provides Davis with a string of amusing and acidic verbal put-downs. Go to Full Review
