Trailer

Why watch this film?

The story behind 'Accidental Love' can be better than the movie itself - which is not a difficult task, given the very low quality of the production. The feature film is directed by David O. Russell, a filmmaker known for productions such as 'Silver Linings Playbook', 'American Hustle' and 'Joy'. Those titles were remembered in the awards seasons, right? But in the middle of the way there was 'Accidental Love'. The romantic comedy with Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal was made before those mentioned titles, but finished afterwards. Russell was worried about the quality of the feature film and felt that, because it was so bad, a bad reception could hinder him with new undertakings. He solved this, then, signing the film with the pseudonym Stephen Greene. And even years later, he still tries to stay away from any discussion about the movie out of fear of burning his image in Hollywood. In other words: it's really a bomb, one of those movies that make you embarrassed. But, maybe because of that and the story behind it, it's a good alternative entertainment. Just understand the context and laugh a little at this small Russell failure, known for mistreating actors on stage. The world turns.
