A comedy that pays tribute to the science fiction genre -- specifically, the sub-genre of time travel. But here the alternate reality is contemporary New York City where past and future experiences of trust, commitment and denial are cleverly put to the test. Just as Ruby is beginning to relish her first-ever healthy relationship, Sam begins muttering about being a time traveler from the year 2470.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen

InformationRap

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Movies are often about the Climax or Ending, and this is no exception. The story is about the life of Ruby (Marissa Tomei) and Sam (Denofreo) and their on again off again romance. It was written and put together in a most intelligent way, that gets a viewer to a climactic ending. It clues the viewer in little by little until we get to the ending. Each clue opens your mind. Or one can take another look at the clues in a way that explains them differently. Like Ruby who is looking at a photograph in the climactic scene, on a certain intersection of two familiar streets, we are never certain of what we are dealing with...until the final shot in the movie... which is of that particular photograph, which puts the movie together and makes it clear to the viewer, as it did to Ruby.

i thought i'd add another great review among the many that are here on IMDb. first off the acting was very superb by Vincent D'Onofrio and Marisa Tomei. after about twenty minutes of seeing them acting together just sucked me in completely on this quirky but, fun romantic comedy/science fiction (romcom/scifi) film. their acting styles complimented each other so well and the chemistry was just mixed well in the film worlds laboratory (whether it was due to well editing or the actor/actress themselves). second this movie just kept me on a roller-coaster of a ride once i thought i had it figured out i was completely thrown for a loop back into the wacky roller-coaster design like that of the space traveling story that Sam gives and Ruby is just in the front seat of it all, as are we, the audience. i chose this movie based on it being a recommendation through amazon and thought "what they hey! i'll get it." so i ordered it and have not been disappointed by my decision of getting it. this movie is a must have for any movie goers collection and to see with friends, family, or that special someone. trust me you won't regret it.

I loved this movie it was a great powerful indie flick. When you first start watching it you think something then toward the end you are stunned it is so easy to watch and Vincent D'Onofrio and Marisa Tomei have great chemistry and light up every screen you watch it on. I tell everyone I know you rent it and watch it because I love it and it will be one of my best all time favorite movies. Even though there is cussing and inappropriate things it is such a great movie coming from a Vincent D'Onofrio Fan. If you like any actors that play in this film you will love it. It is a love story no matter what anyone says and even though the plot can be alittle strange it's very interesting. You will fall in love with it. Especially when Sam says I feel like my whole life has been a journey into your arms. That is a powerful quote and i give props to who wrote that. Rhiannon

*This review has a tiny spoiler about the theme/plot of the film--but no big giveaways.Both Vincent D'onofrio and Marisa Tomei are two of my favorite actors so I don't know how this movie slipped under my radar for six years but I just saw it and LOVED it. It's so great to see a romantic comedy that's smart and sexy and real--despite the totally weird plot line to this film. In fact, this movie is written so cleverly that if time travel were actually possible you'd have to believe it would go something like what is depicted in Happy Accidents. I wholeheartedly recommend this film to anyone who is a fan of either Marisa or Vincent or who is looking for a smart, romantic film to watch. I rented this through Netflix and it arrived on Valentine's Day by chance--talk about your happy accidents! Marisa, in particular, is HILARIOUS in this film. No one could give the F-U better than her! And Vincent gives one of his awkward, clumsy and fully endearing performances. Recommended!
