Giles Hardie Sydney Morning Herald This take-no-prisoners family flick is not your average suburban trip. Rated: 4/5 Apr 22, 2010 Full Review Jim Schembri Sydney Morning Herald 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. Rated: 0.5/5 Apr 22, 2010 Full Review Tara Judah In Film Australia Accidents Happen is a credit to the Australian film industry... Jan 23, 2019 Full Review Brian Orndorf DVDTalk.com 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. Rated: C- Aug 26, 2010 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film 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. Rated: 2/5 Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Gavin Bond Sunday Times (Australia) 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. Rated: 3/4 Apr 26, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews
