Accidental Love

Almost incomprehensibly awful. It makes complete sense why it went unfinished, why its director disowned it, and why its actors wished nobody would ever get to see it. Utter rubbish from start to finish. Gyllenhaal and Biel are horrible - everyone's awful - and you have no reason to see it.

Just embarrassing for all involved. A few jokes hit their mark, but mostly it's people who have been funny in the past, just trying to make unfunny dialogue funny. You know your script is bad when there are 4 writers credited. Even the director wanted no part of this project.

What did I just waste 100 min of my life on? Not even Biel made this piece of crap worth the watch.

A "comedy" that hinges on America's barbaric lack of health coverage for anyone who is less than affluent, and it's even worse than it sounds. Uncomfortable, unfunny... one basically cringes the entire time. Tracy Morgan does stupid quite well, though--it seems totally natural for him.

NAILED it! (Or, the opposite of that.)

A bit of a mess but still good enough for a laugh at times

An unfinished 2008 comedy pasted together for a 2015 release. And guess what? It was unfinished. This incoherent mess basically wasn't funny based on the editing done here years later by someone not associated with the original director David O. Russell's vision for the movie. Made no different the extreme star quality of the likes of Pee-Wee Herman. There simply was no saving this. ONE legit laugh though. The 'president portrait' scene. You'll know which one I mean.

Jessica biel smashing it. Overall a poorly made satire. Strong cast though who act well

A movie must have truly a horrible reputation to be both underrated and bad, but that is the case here. It's probably more interesting to read about how the movie was made than watch it. Filmed in 2008 and not released until 2015. It swings and misses as a satire, but the movie is still watchable. Bad but has a goofy tone, crazy plot, and big cast that save it from being awful.

I liked the cast. I didn't care for what they were doing, or how they were doing it, but, in general, with a few exclusions, I liked the cast.

Accidental Love is not just a really bad film, it's also ineptly stupid. The drama on the production side is actually more interesting than the film itself; Initially filmed in 2008 to capitalise on the US cultural zeitgeist of universal(-ish) healthcare and patched together years late, the film almost acts as argument against what it's trying to promote. The characters are irritating, and despite a good cast, every scene feels forced in terms of laughs, performances and motivation.
