"Happy Accidents" is one of those movies you don't find every day. It goes just enough against the grain to feel fresh. Very much a romantic comedy (/drama?) rooted in science fiction.
Central to this thing are good performances from Vincent D'Onofrio and Marisa Tomei, the former for his gawky weirdness and the latter for struggling to decide (like the rest of us) if D'Onofrio is really from the future or just traumatically scarred. There's always a new seed of doubt to be sown, which is what made the journey vexing for me. The mystery is way too drawn out, and it ends up just a bit of a slog But the movie does have its winning features (particularly Ms. Tomei) and a decent payoff once we get to bottom of all of this.
6/10
