Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: The low-budget Happy Accidents may be just the tonic for those in the mood for something quirky and low-key. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: The charm of Happy Accidents is that, like Ruby, we half-believe Sam Deed. Read more

Susan Stark, Detroit News: Read more
Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News: Has an engaging, light-hearted sweetness, clever plot and, amazingly, no special 4-D effects. Read more

Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle: The actors have enough appeal to keep it moving over the speed bumps. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Read more
