NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Jakemcclake 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.

jessej-74060 This is my favorite science fiction movie. No crazy explosions. No monsters. No absurd crap. Real people responding to a rather unusual set of circumstances.This movie requires attentiveness to be able to connect the many wonderful dots. The script if good. All the actors are fine.Marisa is just plain great. Her portrayal of her character's acceptance of the absurd is very satisfying.I am 63, a reader of Science Fiction, and science fact, for 50 years. I have watched hundreds of movies of all types, and hundreds of TV episodes.I am a Rom Com kind of guy. So although I do appreciate angsty movies like "The Man who fell to earth, and The Man From Earth, and K-PAX, I prefer humorous explorations of normal people trying to get through a normal day that has been twisted to include what does not make sense.Happy Accidents is one of the few DVDs we own.The others are: Waking Ned Devine One of the best movie climaxes everRare Birds William is excellentFifth Element The ultimate "Bruce Willis Saves the Universe, Again" movieNoises Off Carol Burnett, Christopher Reeve, Michael Caine, John RitterMy Girl Friday One of the best 'fast talking dames' moviesMiss Pettigrew Lives for a Day A modern 'fast talking dame' movieAll of these are Rom Com movies with great dialog, fun casts, and excellent acting.My list of my must-watch movies includes 2001, Men in Black, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, Singing in the Rain, The Princess Bride, all the Star Trek and Star war movies, nearly any movies based upon a Phillip K Dick story, and many dozens more.This movie is as much fun as The Fifth Element.Do not watch this movie if you are profoundly ignorant or stupid. You will NOT like it.

genes bernadette I wasn't expecting great things from Happy Accidents but thought it sounded intriguing and a cursory glance of IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes showed that there appears to be a fairly consistent approval of, even admiration for this film. The imbalance is the main reason for my contribution. I'm afraid to say that I hated the writing, hated the acting (especially Ruby and her best friend), hated the claustrophobic and drab photography but most of all the music drove me crazy. I guess some films just rub people up the wrong way. My god this one did me. It was compelling enough to stick it out to the end but I think I should have switched it off judging by this extreme and rather irrational reaction. Everyone else seems to like it though so don't let me put you off if you're keen!

oshram-3 Happy Accidents follows the story of Sam Deed (Vincent D'Onofrio) as he stumbles into Ruby Weaver's (Marisa Tomei) life. Sam is a little odd, but nice, and kind, and we learn early on that Ruby has terrible choice in men. When Sam begins to treat her well, she starts falling for him, even as her friends alternately chide and tease her about it.Then Sam drops the bombshell – he's really a time traveler from the year 2470, and he's escaping a hopeless future to live out his life here, in a more settled and peaceful time. Ruby thinks he's nuts, but there's just enough credibility to his story that you can almost believe Sam (and some of the details are hilarious and very well thought out). When Ruby's therapist explains that most of Sam's 'evidence' can in fact be explained away by a rare mental disorder, Ruby doesn't know what to believe.Most of the film lies in the performances. D'Onofrio is excellent here, really sharp, rendering Sam in warm, if confused, tones. It's easy to like him and you want to believe him all the way down the line, even as Ruby sinks deeper into doubt. More importantly, you want to believe *in* him, and there is the movie's triumph; despite being handed a perfectly rational explanation for Sam's behavior, you want him to be from the future. Tomei matches D'Onofrio's performance; Ruby is both needy and skeptical, flawed herself, and she has to decide not only whether Sam is ill or not but whether, since he loves her so well, it really matters. Tomei sketches the vulnerability of the character perfectly.I don't want to spoil how it ends – indeed, I feel like I've spoiled too much already – but the ending is the strongest, best part of the film; so many times we are led around a mystery, and when it is revealed, we're almost always disappointed. Not so here; all the build up pays off wonderfully, and the whole film comes together in a perfect instant. It may have indeed been a happy accident I found this picture, but you should make a point to seek it out; it's worth a viewing, definitely.
