A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

"The premise of all comedy is a man in trouble."-Jerry LewisWith a title like 'Mr. Accident' coming from a film maker named Yahoo Serious, you can anticipate a film filled with one particular character (named Roger Crumpkin) banging and bumping into and destroying many things.During the course of this celluloid homage to the slapstick genius of yesteryear, one is treated to a linty of well constructed, creative and interesting sight gags. While trying to make simple toast Roger manages to set his apartment on fire, starts a flood, and creates a storm of feathers that blow around his apartment.While at a bar trying to pick up girls, he manages to throw away a lit fag (cigarette) into some goth girls hair.While out on a date with the girl of his dreams, Sunday Valentine (Helen Dallimore), he manages to destroy the calm restaurant scene where they are having dinner and manages to have a bowl of gravy land on a waiter's head. He also gets Sunday's nice dress doused with car oil. While driving his wreck of a car, Roger's AC , which is broken, causes his car to become an rolling icebox where he can't see clearly out the window due to all the frost. He manages to drive himself and his roommate Lyndon (Grant Piro) off a cliff into some weird auto junk yard where he finds.... While in the fold out bed... can you guess?Roger lives in what seems to be the top floor of a very high apartment building. So.... While putting out his garbage by his door, manages to knock it over, which knocks everyone else's garbage cans over all the way down to the bottom floor, causing an avalanche of garbage cans to come crashing out the front doors. He also manages to fall out the window in the process.While driving his car, he manages to hit something creating a hole in the gas tank creating a trail of gasoline behind his car. He then manages to throw away a lit cigarette out he window. While working at his job in the egg factory he manages to anger his psychopathic ax wielding boss and uncovers a sinister plan hatched by the tobacco company having to do with eggs.While watching this film I was glad to see a comedian who was able to construct comedy out of timing and ordinary situations and didn't rely on fowl language and crass humor, although there is a sprinkling of it. He did get hit in the nuts at least once.After having read this review to my wife she comments , "You didn't even tell what country this takes place in. (Australia). That's more interesting then where somebody got hit in a certain place. Come on"'Mr. Accident is a homage to the style of comedy that creative, athletic, and highly talented filmmakers once made. Recommended to those who appreciate good slapstick. Yahoo can now rank up their as a master of disaster along with Laurel & Hardy, Harold Lloyd, Mr. Magoo, Jerry Lewis, and Mr. Bean.

To be honest, I have never heard of this film before. When I saw it in the summer of 2003, I enjoyed it. This movie is definitely weird, funny, and original. Yahoo Serious does a great job playing Roger Crumpkin, and he does some pretty good slapstick stunts. The cinematography is brilliant, adding more colors to the scenery. The film's soundtrack is very hear-worthy with great songs. I haven't seen any of Serious' other films (except for some of Young Einstein), but this film definitely makes me want to check them out. Serious has made a hilarious, live-action cartoon that is likely to please any other fan of slapstick comedy.

I know everyone said this movie was utter crap and I agree with them. I spent a few years after seeing it telling other people it was crap. I recommended they not see it. But when it came on TV, we saw the ad. I turned to family and said: "I know this is sad, but I'm thinking of watching it". My sister turned to me and said: "Yeah, me too." And you know what? It was funny.By no means is this a good movie. It's absolutely a waste of time. But it's a good waste of time. You may still think it's crap and fair enough, but I thought it was a really funny slapstick comedy. I didn't like a couple of bits, like when the fish got hit by the car, but apart from that I thought it was good. I loved sitting there and picking out all the famous Australian faces: Flacco, Elle McFeast, Garry McDonald etc.So, if you like to waste your time, watch this movie. Otherwise, see a drama or something.

I remember back in 1988 when "Young Einstein" came out and Yahoo Serious came onto the big screen. That was a classic Yahoo Serious movie. This one had it's moments, but overall lacked a consistant storyline. It jumped from place to place. All though Aussies loved this move, the US has been luke warm to it. Rock on Yahoo Serious!
