A quirky little film that delves deeply into our preconceived notions of reality and closely held myths of love.
Anderson ... resorts to all sorts of directorial tricks to sustain this shaky premise.
The story isn't perfectly proportioned ... but it gets quirkier at the points where most romantic comedies go limp. full review
Its rampant oddness is certain to polarize audiences. full review
For a high-flown fantasy, it's surprisingly down-to-Earth.

The low-budget Happy Accidents may be just the tonic for those in the mood for something quirky and low-key. full review
The 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.
The actors make it fun to watch. full review
A warped kind of romantic comedy in which the whole is substantially less than the sum of the parts.
Anderson constructs a story where past and future converge to redefine present-tense romantic anxiety. And in so doing he offers a redefinition of love.
Doesn't have the negative qualities of many big-studio romantic comedies, but it doesn't quite take flight. full review
Unlike the typical Hollywood romance, its belief in happily-ever-after, even if it has to come from the fourth dimension, feels authentic. full review
Happy 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. full review
A cleverly resourceful mixture of romantic comedy and sci-fi time travel. full review
Has an engaging, light-hearted sweetness, clever plot and, amazingly, no special 4-D effects. full review
