Top CriticThe story isn't perfectly proportioned ... but it gets quirkier at the points where most romantic comedies go limp.
10/19/01
Top CriticThe actors have enough appeal to keep it moving over the speed bumps.
09/28/01
Top CriticThe charm of Happy Accidents is that, like Ruby, we half-believe Sam Deed.
09/27/01
Top CriticThe low-budget Happy Accidents may be just the tonic for those in the mood for something quirky and low-key.
09/27/01
Top CriticThe 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.
09/14/01
Top CriticThe actors make it fun to watch.
09/14/01
Top CriticHas an engaging, light-hearted sweetness, clever plot and, amazingly, no special 4-D effects.
09/13/01
Top CriticAnderson constructs a story where past and future converge to redefine present-tense romantic anxiety. And in so doing he offers a redefinition of love.
09/13/01
Top CriticDoesn't have the negative qualities of many big-studio romantic comedies, but it doesn't quite take flight.

Top CriticHappy Accidents is about as unconventional a romantic comedy as you're likely to find - the only problem is that the lackluster science fiction elements keep getting in the way.
09/06/01
Top CriticA cleverly resourceful mixture of romantic comedy and sci-fi time travel.
08/31/01
Top CriticA warped kind of romantic comedy in which the whole is substantially less than the sum of the parts.
08/28/01
Top CriticUnlike the typical Hollywood romance, its belief in happily-ever-after, even if it has to come from the fourth dimension, feels authentic.
08/24/01
Top CriticAnderson ... resorts to all sorts of directorial tricks to sustain this shaky premise.
08/24/01
Top CriticA quirky little film that delves deeply into our preconceived notions of reality and closely held myths of love.
08/24/01
Top CriticThe leads smooth over the plot holes endemic to all 4D fables, making the movie more than mere déjà vu.
