4/5
This take-no-prisoners family flick is not your average suburban trip. Go to Full Review Jim Schembri Sydney Morning Herald 04/22/2010
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 Tara Judah In Film Australia 01/23/2019
Accidents Happen is a credit to the Australian film industry... Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf DVDTalk.com 08/26/2010

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 Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film 07/06/2010
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) 04/26/2010
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 Read all reviews
