I mostly watched this because I used to watch Brenda Song on Disney Channel when I was a child & was wondering what she was up to. Unfortunately I've found out she's still making Disney Channel level films but now for adults.
Love Accidentally is nothing more than a copy paste of your typical mid-2000s Hallmark Movie. They didn't even bother to modernize the plot-line, using tropes of the time that no longer make sense (ex: her 2022 waterproof iPhone dying because it was in a bucket of ice for 10 seconds, her contacts not syncing to the cloud automatically, her friend getting mad that she didn't know her phone number). Of course the characters and main plot-line make even less sense, with people in their mid-30s getting into Disney Channel levels of high-school drama & a company having two salesmen self-destructively compete for the same client.
In addition, whoever filmed this movie made almost no attempt at even basic quality control. Just one example -- every time a character holds or "drinks" a cup of "coffee" it's so blindly obvious the cup is actually empty that it will take you out of the movie immediately. There are more egregious issues as well (ie: the awkward "Him and Her" nickname that was clearly the original working title of the movie & should have been changed when they changed the title) but many of those have already been highlighted in other reviews.
Even at only 85 minutes this lazy, completely telegraphed movie is a slog to get through.
