The genre is Indie Sci-Fi RomCom. There are a surprising number of them. Previous entrants in this category have included Safety Not Guaranteed, Timer,  Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Looking for a Friend for the End of the World, Another Earth.

Last night's movie was Happy Accidents (1999),starring Marisa Tomei and Vince D'Onofrio. It's a real charmer. I wasn't sure where they were going with the plot until the very end (a big plus in a romcom, a genre that is usually all too predictable). And there were NO special effects (a big plus in a movie that is even marginally sci-fi). Recommended.

That is one of Nik's favourite movies. He made me watch it when we first got together. It was a definite point in his favour. :)

'Indie SciFi RomCom' sounds like a genre right up my alley, and 'Happy Accidents' sounds worthwhile to check out.

I read your first paragraph and thought "I wonder if she's seen Happy Accidents yet". D'oh! Has been years and years since I last watched it, but I remember liking it a lot.
