20. "Happy Accidents"
Thu Feb 19, 2026, 09:24 PM
17 hrs ago

It stars Marisa Tomei and Vincent D'Onofrio. Marisa stars as Ruby Weaver, a woman with a history of relationships with troubled men who she feels compelled to "fix". She meets a guy named Sam who seems sweet and quite normal until he tells her...
I'm not going to give away what it is that he tells her or how things play out afterwards. I will however stress that if you should come across this movie streaming somewhere and decide to watch it (or if you simply look it up) DO NOT read the synopsis. Every synopsis I've seen of this movie reveals what it is that Sam tells Ruby about himself. I was lucky enough to have read only one review of the movie before I saw it and that reviewer did not spoil things. It's a lot more fun that way. I highly recommend this movie.
