Academy AwardŽ winner* Marisa Tomei (In the Bedroom) and Vincent D'Onofrio (Men in Black) star in this "touching love story" (Boxoffice) about a neurotic New Yorker, her highly eccentric boyfriend and their extraordinary connection. "Cleverly plotted [with] an abundance of heart" (The New York Times), this captivating romance will make you crazy for love! Ruby (Tomei) is a hopeless romantic who's always attracted to the wrong kind of guy until shemeets Sam (D'Onofrio). He's sweet, sensitive, sincere and from the year 2470. Despiteor maybe because ofhis bizarre claims to have traveled back in time to save her, Ruby falls for Sam. And while common sense says he's crazy, her heart says he's the one.

Great sleeper film

I just saw this movie last night and was pleasantly surprised.

As a fan of both Vincent D'Onofrio and Marisa Tomey, I thought it might be a good film , but it was much more than that . The chemistry between the characters is magic and the casting is flawless ,although I never would have thought of these two as a perfect pairing .

Always a sucker for time travel , this piqued my interest . As the two meet and quickly fall for each other, there is a sense of deja vu between them. D'Onofrio's character is quirky yet loveable and the question is raised if he has a mental illness or seizures or is actually, absurdly, a time traveler as he eventually claims to be !


I liked "Somewhere in Time" and "Forever Young" , both good time travel movies, but this one offered more - the characters were more fleshed out and their obvious caring for one another comes through despite all that is against them .

There are several twists and turns in the plot and I was happy with the ending - it is a movie that will stay in my memory for a long time and that is the test of a good movie - there are so many that are fairly entertaining and then you pick up the same video 6 months later because you have forgotten that you ever watched it ! That will not be the case with this movie - it will leave an impression .

A beautiful yet quirky love story!

This movie is great! I'd give it more stars if I could.
A romance for the past, future and all time.
Clever, witty and heartfelt. Wonderful!




Happy Accidents funny movie

Vincent D'Onofrio and Marisa Tomei are great together in this romantic-comedy. His explantions are totally off the wall and her strength to believe in him leads too many funny situations. Highly recommend.


An enjoyable movie

A wonderful movie about the relationship between a woman, Ruby(Marisa Tomei), who has a bad history with men and Sam(Vincent D'Onofrio). Ruby usually becomes connected to men who have problems. She is the consumate enabler until she gets to a breaking point. Sam is a quirky young man who works in a hospice. He is always drawing on a large tablet. Ruby finds Sam gentle and spontaneous. He will drop everything to buy her flowers even though he didn't know a carnation from a rose.
Ruby finds Sam's tablet by accident and it reveals the name Christie DeLancey along with a picture of a pretty woman. Devastated, Ruby now beleives that Sam is cheating on her. Instead of the old lies all woman/men have heard, Sam tells her that he is from the year 2470 AD. He has traveled into the past to find her. Christie DeLancey is another "back traveler" and his contact in 1996. She gets him his phoney documents and show him how to "flag" a cab. Though I think all "back traveler" contacts should enclude a tour of the public library in their tour of the past. But I suppose that would make the character of Sam less charming. In an effort to show her how "back travel" works, he slides his hands on her leg
Ruby then decides he is crazy and that he is yet another misfit that she "should" take care of. She prepares to end the relationship, but her best friend, Gretchen(Nadia Danjani) tells her it's all about sex. She is told it's a sex game and play along.
In the end we learn whether Sam is crazy or not, but whether he is or not this is a romantic comedy that anyone might enjoy. I own it and have watched it several times since I got it.

Happy Accident, indeed.

This is a little known movie that should get more attention. It's a romantic comedy with a sci-fi twist. I read the synopsis of this film and found it interesting so I Netflixed it. I was so pleasantly surprised, I bought it. Good performances, quirky, and a little twist make it well worth the viewing.
