Mr. Accident is a deliberate series of non-stop disasters and near death experiences reminiscent of Saturday Morning's Warner Brothers Cartoons. Like the coyote who falls off the cliff 5 times per episode, the "leading man" (more like an over grown klutzy child) always manages to postpone his meeting with the Grimm Reaper.This Australian "surprise" is offensively unfunny, and at times even depressing. The 2 (out of ten) are is for the visual stunts (some never attempted by anyone since Daffy Duck) and the use of vivid colors (like in those high class national laundry detergent commercials).There may be an age bracket where this "comedy" finds a following. I have definitely passed that age long ago. Calling all preteens: Here's a "ha-ha" for ya!

Can the most naive, sweet but terribly accident prone bachelor in the world ever find love and break a couple of unpleasant bad habits at the same time? As he blunders into a devious plot to make the world of egg-users into nicotine addicts, he discovers the answer to all is Yes. Our first viewing of this movie left us smiling but not ready to place it on the "watch 100 times" shelf. However, the more we watched it, the more clever and funnier it proved itself to be. The entire roster of characters was perfectly cast. This movie was not widely distributed in the US, I suspect less to do with so-called lack of humor than it's undisguised concerns and feelings regarding cigarette smoking and addiction. I am sorry this movie was not more available to the general public: it took a long time to track down a copy of it, and I would love to share it with my sisters and their kids.

This movie was a poor movie. The plot was poor and the comedy they "tried" to deliver came out poorly. The accidents seem contrived and predictable. I thought the actors tried to some extent but with this movie, it was so lame it can only go so far.One of the worst films I have seen and don't recommend it to anyone. The only accident to Mr. Accident was it's release.

Well, I said it for The Castle, Pricilla, Muriels Wedding, and a few other movies lately. This movie is the kind of movie that, although should be a credit to Yahoo Serious and everyone involved in making it, is the kind of movie that Australians should hide whenever family from overseas visit. Blatantly obvious gags are used to death and unfortunately the funniest parts are within the first few minutes.But sometimes the overseas market surprises. Most Aussies hate the idea of Crocodile Dundee, and are shuddering at the idea of a trilogy, but hey, the Americans think it's funny to laugh at us, so they get what they want.
