A suburban teen (Harrison Gilbertson) becomes a delinquent after surviving the car accident that kills his sister.

Giles Hardie

Sydney Morning Herald

This take-no-prisoners family flick is not your average suburban trip.

Rated: 4/5

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

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-

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

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

Liked the 80s feel that this movie gave, and it is dark, funny and poignant enough to be likeable .
