- 70VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonUndemandingly entertaining, director Mark Bristol’s well-crafted indie can be savored as a heaping helping of palate-cleansing sherbet, best enjoyed between viewings of bigger and louder but by no means better movies. And yes, that’s meant as a compliment.
- 67Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerAustin ChronicleRichard WhittakerThere’s an earnestness about Accidental Texan that can only warm your heart. Every moment is predictable, but in Bristol’s capable hands that becomes a strength.
- 40Screen RantScreen RantAccidental Texan forces us to sympathize with the characters rather than letting compassion form naturally. The result is a failed attempt to weave successful pathos throughout the movie.
- 25RogerEbert.comKatie RifeRogerEbert.comKatie RifeWhat’s unclear is whether this project is clumsy, but earnest, or a cynical attempt to sell a shoddy film to the “DVD section at Walmart” crowd.
