Watch Happy Accidents For Free

Absolutely brilliant

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Movies are often about the Climax or Ending, and this is no exception. The story is about the life of Ruby (Marissa Tomei) and Sam (Denofreo) and their on again off again romance. It was written and put together in a most intelligent way, that gets a viewer to a climactic ending. It clues the viewer in little by little until we get to the ending. Each clue opens your mind. Or one can take another look at the clues in a way that explains them differently. Like Ruby who is looking at a photograph in the climactic scene, on a certain intersection of two familiar streets, we are never certain of what we are dealing with...until the final shot in the movie... which is of that particular photograph, which puts the movie together and makes it clear to the viewer, as it did to Ruby.

I wasn't expecting great things from Happy Accidents but thought it sounded intriguing and a cursory glance of IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes showed that there appears to be a fairly consistent approval of, even admiration for this film. The imbalance is the main reason for my contribution. I'm afraid to say that I hated the writing, hated the acting (especially Ruby and her best friend), hated the claustrophobic and drab photography but most of all the music drove me crazy. I guess some films just rub people up the wrong way. My god this one did me. It was compelling enough to stick it out to the end but I think I should have switched it off judging by this extreme and rather irrational reaction. Everyone else seems to like it though so don't let me put you off if you're keen!

Picked it up on a whim and was really glad I did. Am always a bit wary about movies who have that hand-held independent feel to them, so was bracing myself for something grainy, shaky, aggravating and surreal, with long-winded and disjointed diatribes, but it was far from that. Rather it was tight, smart, captivating and likable, with a fresh and elegant twist of romance, sci-fi and drama. A thinker's love story, if you will, and SUCH nice change from all the painfully dull, perfectly-coif-ed Jennifer Aniston-esque piles of cardboard crap. It even held my boyfriend spellbound for 2 hours, which was amazing, since he usually needs deNiro or Jason Statham to do that job. Of course you can rarely - if ever? - go wrong with d'Onofrio or Tomei, nor Holland Taylor or Nadja Dajani, and seeing them cast together was a huge draw. Great flick!

Happy Accidents begins like a typical chick flick. Allow me to sum up the first few minutes of the film. Women talk about their relationships and toss photos of their awful ex-boyfriend's into a box marked the Ex-files. Tomei throws a hissy fit every few minutes and acts like she severely needs Prozac. She's in therapy for her co-dependency, quotes what her therapist tells her to do, and recites affirmations to a mirror.I tried watching it with my boyfriend and we turned it off after 10 minutes because neither of us wanted to see an overly dramatic, nutcase whine for 90 minutes. I decided to try watching it on my own. I adored Next Stop Wonderland, so I wanted to see more from the same director/writer. Happy Accidents isn't as polished as Next Stop Wonderland and I was very surprised to find out it was made after Next Stop Wonderland.After the first 10 minutes the film gets very strange. It is definitely not a typical romantic comedy. All of sudden turns into a sci-fi movie about 15 minutes into the film. I knew nothing about the plot before watching it and I think that really helped my enjoyment. I can usually predict where a film is going, but not this one.The pace is a bit frenzied. Instead of exploring dating like in Next Step Wonderland, Happy Accidents focuses on one relationship. The film is actually quite funny. I convinced my boyfriend to give it a second try and he really liked it after the character Sam Deed enters the picture. Vincent D'Onofrio is perfect in the role and the script is very creative.The over-acting in the film is a bit over-the-top for my taste and there are some weak points in the plot, but Happy Accidents is really worth watching. Just know that it gets much better after the first 15 minutes.
