February 21, 2010It was okay. I don't think I'm the right audience for romantic films , I guess.

April 17, 2011Rather strange but not a bad movie. It was hard for me to deal with the whole not knowing if he's crazy or really a time traveler thing but I think they showed the truth in an interesting way and they unfolded the story pretty well throughout the movie.

December 24, 2009This is a good film, almost a great film. Marisa Tomei gives a sincere and sensitive performance. The best scenes belong to Tovah Feldshuh, who plays her mother.

November 14, 2009Time travel love story. Good acting. Kept me guessing. Can he save her from the accident the future records she had? Is he off his rocker? Is he using an unusual line to seduce women?

September 24, 2008This is the best romantic comedy I've ever seen. I was honestly cheering at the end of it- and that's not like me at all.

November 3, 2007This movie was unusually good. I wasn't expecting what i got, and what i got was pure entertainment. My eyes were glued to the screen the entire time.
Vincent D'Onofrio did an amazing job.

Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
For a high-flown fantasy, it's surprisingly down-to-Earth.

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

Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News
The low-budget Happy Accidents may be just the tonic for those in the mood for something quirky and low-key. Full Review

Megan Rosenfeld, Washington Post
The actors make a good team in this film, and they're playing well-defined characters, but the script is so repetitive that we get mighty impatient for the mystery to be resolved.

Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News
Has an engaging, light-hearted sweetness, clever plot and, amazingly, no special 4-D effects. Full Review

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
Anderson constructs a story where past and future converge to redefine present-tense romantic anxiety. And in so doing he offers a redefinition of love.
