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.

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Happy Accidents looks drab and doesn't take very good advantage of its New York locations, but the neurotic intensity and emotional honesty of its two leads more than make up for it.

The story isn't perfectly proportioned ... but it gets quirkier at the points where most romantic comedies go limp.

For a high-flown fantasy, it's surprisingly down-to-Earth.

The actors have enough appeal to keep it moving over the speed bumps.

The charm of Happy Accidents is that, like Ruby, we half-believe Sam Deed.
