Happy Accidents

Wow! I loved this movie! I never would have guessed that a romantic-comedy could double as a sci-fi flick, but Happy Accidents does just that beautifully. I've always been a fan of Marisa Tomei's so it's no surprise that I thought she was great in this -- all of the actors were terrific.

The story is romantic and sweet, but with substance. It's a thinking girl's (or guy's) romantic-comedy. I found myself rooting for the main characters, no matter how implausible their plight because that's what good movies are supposed to be able to do: move the audience into suspended belief.

If you want a romantic, feel-good movie about the power of love, you can't do better than this.

Very romantic, probably more of a chick flick, but think guys would like it too. Very different, quirky type plot, great actors.

This is a beautiful story and completly unexpected. I had no idea from the opening couple of minutes that this movie would turn out to be so wonderful. It left a real impact on me, one of those movies that makes you think about life and feel good about everything. Do not miss this movie. The acting was great, the story was fantastic, lots of familiar faces to add a real legitimacy to it. Unbelievable in every way. I can say without hesitation this is THE best movie I have seen in years.

I'm a Marisa Tomei fan, so I was inclined to like this movie, but I was unprepared for its inventiveness and clever scripting. Ms. Tomei's performance was nuanced and engaging as was Vincent D'Onofrio's. This is essentially a two character play, and without their ability to make us believe in what we're seeing, the whole movie would dissolve into drivel. While that might be true of almost any movie, this one in particular has a plot that's a bit far fetched, so credibility is central to enjoying and appreciating this film.

I promise you, unless you're a dyed-in-the-wool meanie, you'll just love this story and the two performances that deliver it. This is really an undiscovered gem of a movie.

Highly recommended.

I am a huge fan of Vincent D'onofrio, but also of Sam Deed, the character he plays in this movie. I am married to a hopeless romantic myself, so I know men like Sam do exist but they are extremely rare. The plot is a little strange, but hey! Who cares? If you want to watch a movie that leaves you with a smile on your face and hope for the relationships between men and women, then buy this one. It will not disappoint!
