Movie #285........................."Happy Accidents"

Movie #285 "Happpy Accidents" is NOT a comedy and I am not sure why it is filed under that genre. In fact, it's uncomorotable to watch because it deals with a science fiction idea that is very far fetched. Now if it had a better ending and it actually went somewhere believable, then I would be writing a totally different critique. But the fact is, it stayed with its outlandish premise of him being a time traveler. Yeah, right. Whatever he was, there was way too much angst and shouting to believe these people really love each other. But they are competent actors, and that's why I would rate it a 3. Maybe there are some people that might find this a different (albeit way out there) film about relationships. But I'm not one of them.







Average rating: 3.211
I gave it 3 stars
Happy Accidents
(2001) R
Ruby Weaver (Marisa Tomei) is tired of being the "enabler" in relationships and has decided to give up the role of doormat. She's also on the verge of giving up on love when she meets a sweet, small-town guy, Sam Deed (Vincent D'Onofrio), who changes her mind. It seems Ruby's finally found a sane boyfriend -- until Sam divulges that he's a time traveler from the year 2470. Now it's up to Ruby to decide whether love can conquer all.
