Accidental Love

Accidental Love is currently streaming in Australia on Beamafilm, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and The CW, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. A tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. 357 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Jessica Biel sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Start it on Beamafilm whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Accidental Love keeps coming up in conversation. Accidental Love gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. A small town waitress gets a nail accidentally lodged in her head causing unpredictable behavior that leads her to Washington, DC. Sparks fly when she meets a clueless young senator who takes up her cause - but what happens when love interferes with what you stand for? Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal lead a cast with the timing to make it work. It was released in 2015. What keeps Accidental Love from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Accidental Love is a strong candidate. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Jessica Biel's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
