Overall Call:
Happy Accidents makes for a great Saturday afternoon rental. Which is what most will have to wait for, seeing as it is only in limited release in L.A. and N.Y. But this one is not to be missed. It is a heady relationship film. Both guys and gals alike should enjoy it. The story is about a time traveler that falls for a girl. Now keep in mind all you sci-fi lovers that the futuristic components are all references. All the action takes place in current times. The films leads are both outstanding; Marisa Tomei and Vincent D'Onofrio deliver knockout performances. The is-he-or-isn't-he from the future question bounces back and forth a bunch but didn't seem to bother me as much as it did others. This film is another in my growing list of chic-flicks for guys. It's a multifaceted love story.

Reasons For Recommendation:
+ Interesting premise
+ Great performances
