Happy Accidents


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: No
Watched With: Myself

Yes, Time Travel romance can be done well. I have very specific rules about Time Travel and although this one doesn't follow them it's far more believable than the paradoxes form other time travel films.

Honestly though the time travel is not the focus of this film, the romance and the characters are the main part of the film and that works fine. It has such a 90's indie film vibe, I love that. It also seems a like such a feminine viewpoint which was a surprise, knowing that Brad Anderson of The Machinist, Session 9 and Fringe fame wrote and directed.

I think it's impossible to have a time travel romance with a happy ending unless you cheat, but this one gets away with a lot of the rules breakages I generally judge other films by simply because it was so charming.
