Synopsis
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.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Anderson is a hopeless romantic in a cynical world, and for a brief moment he makes the case that true love is the only power that can crack time and space. - 75
Baltimore Sun
"Happy Accidents" should retire Tomei's status as part of a show-biz urban legend and establish her once and for all as one of our most versatile and engaging performers. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
Essentially silliness crossed with science fiction. The actors make it fun to watch. - 70
Variety
A lighthearted yarn designed to stand out by virtue of its intricate structure and trippy time-travel element. But the fanciful material wears thin pretty quickly, the air leaking out of the balloon long before party's over. - 63
Chicago Tribune
Doesn't have the negative qualities of many big-studio romantic comedies, but it doesn't quite take flight. - 60
Village Voice
The leads smooth over the plot holes endemic to all 4D fables, making the movie more than mere déjà vu. - 50
New York Post
This is an overlong film interesting chiefly for its performances. - 50
New York Daily News
D'Onofrio is a natural for the role of a romantic who just may be a freak. A highly physical actor, he ranges between sweetly awkward and a candidate for the kind of mental hospital shown in "Session 9."
