Amor por Acidente

I am not a Biel fan and David is hit or miss admit it real cinema watchers! Jake did a great job as he always does in any role. I despise the one note Tracy Morgan and still enjoyed this movie. This move for all the making of drama it has, is after all a black comedy hit in my opinion. I hope this becomes a cult hit so it gives Hollywood the FU! I thought it had elements of Drop Dead Gorgeous, Troop Beverly HIlls, Legally Blonde 2, sure many political humour movies can fit in there!

The actors may regret the role now but shouldn't, they had to have known it was never to be a masterpiece. "Tell us about the tragedy of your gayness" - 1:04:44 in the movie,I laughed so hard! All these people mad about it having health care in it, suck it! This is based on a book subject, is something the USA still needs improvement on,therefore its relevant in any form for cinema. If you ever get your crap together USA this movie will be even funnier. All will be,Why were we such tools, pun intended, What took us so long?! Considering Dumb Dumber Too and latest Transformers gets you spending your money FULL PRICE, whiners on this thread board need to rate/ judge fairly! 6/10

"Accidental Love" is a film which had HUGE production problems. The filmmakers ran out of money and the film sat for years. And, it was so famous for this that it was an entry in the book "The Greatest Films You'll Never See". Then, after being auctioned off years later, the film was completed...though many of the folks who had been working on the project refused to return to complete it! As a result, you have a movie that is, at times, a bit incomprehensible and confusing. Again, when you are trying to salvage a project, this isn't all that surprising.

What I DID find surprising were the reviews. Despite the weird way in which the film was completed, it was, at least in many parts, quite enjoyable....but there are quite a few reviewers that give it scores of 1 and talk as if it's the worst film ever made. Well, it simply isn't...or even close...to being the worst film. So why do so many attack the movie? Perhaps it's because the folks were angry about the film being in favor of national healthcare or the gay angle tossed into the story (completely out of the blue) towards the latter part of the movie. All I know is that I am guessing that folks hated it so much because of the film's message...which doesn't seem 100% fair. On the other hand, the film is at times so confusing and disjoint, I also couldn't understand a few reviews that gave the movie 10s and 9s. How could a film that took almost a decade to complete AND without all the crew and actors get a 9 or 10?! Both extremes seem unfair....and the truth is somewhere in the middle.

The first 30 minutes of the film (parts of which were added much later) worked very well. While you would think having a woman getting a nail shot into her head sounds unfunny, the whole thing was handled well and was funny. It was only when the afflicted woman went to Washington, DC, that things began to become confusing and, at times, kind of dumb. It's all a real shame, as there really was a germ of a great idea for this film...but after a while it just seemed to become incomprehensible and bizarre just for the sake of being bizarre. A mess...but a very interesting mess. Perhaps they should have just left this one on the shelf...though it was, occasionally, quite fun.

Budget:$26,000,000 (estimated) Cumulative Worldwide Gross: $24,487.

I had the misfortune of seeing this film the other night. And this is someone who is a fan of David O. Russell. I love films like Three Kings, The Fighter, and Silver Linings Playbook, but this doesn't even feel like an O. Russell movie. It is the most baffling thing I've seen him make.

This movie does not know what it is trying to be; it's a slapstick comedy, but also a black comedy, but also a romantic comedy. This might be because it was written by three different people. Some of the comedic segments were painful to watch. At times this felt like the least funny Steve Martin kiddie comedy ever made.

Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal are quirky and have somewhat of a slight amount of chemistry between them, but this is not enough to save the movie. The supporting cast is only made up of cartoon characters.

Some of the songs and sound effects that you hear during certain segments are just bizarre. This is like watching a parody of what a bad David O. Russell movie would look like.

Overall, if you're a fan of Russell you don't really lose anything beside 100 minutes of your life by watching this film. But if you aren't a hardcore movie person and you just wanna watch a comedy for Friday night then avoid at all cost.

Deformed dick and prolapsed anus aside (yes, those are the "medical conditions" that make the characters rally for health-care), this movie can only be useful as a bad example for film-school.

An impressive benchmark how a movie filled with a great cast AND led by a good director can turn out REALLY bad. Even the premise is relatively original.

The certainly intentional overacting makes everyone a caricature but unfortunately reaps no laughs at all. None.

The political satire part squibbed because the movie is so far over the top that it can't be taken seriously. Politics serve just as setting not the focus of a persiflage.

If you want to see how director David O. Russel does a better job with about the same budget, watch "I Heart Huckabees", which I enjoyed quite a bit.

This movie will pass a lot of people by because it requires political awareness and being smart enough to understand the themes behind the simple characters of the movie. I don't often write reviews but I really enjoyed this movie and found it to be an intelligent comedy with a particular focus on the US health care system. There is an array of talented actors on display playing some wacky characters. It's a disappointment to see the review scores so low but unfortunately the mainstream cinema goer and critics would much rather see a new brainless action movie. I've heard the film had some issues getting funded but I'm glad it got released. I highly recommend it - 8/10.
