n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

As humans we love to believe that there is a greater power that rules our lives... this is exactly the topic selected for this movie. Serendipidity is a noun that describes the act of finding something good without looking for it, which is exactly what happened to Sarah and Johnatan: the accidentally meet each other and even if they both feel they are made for each other, they decide to leave it to fate if they get a happily ever after. Even if the plot is somewhat unrealistic, it is definitely a feel good movie that ultimately reinforces your faith in destiny, life and love. Great movie to see with your current love interest, better for those who are on the brink of starting a relation, this movie might give them the push they need.

Serendipity is a romantic comedy that just does NOT work. I have seen this film twice, truthfully it's one of my family's favorite films, but I can't stand it. John cusack is completely UNlikable here, I feel nothing in his performance, no heart and no feeling. And there is no romantic on screen chemistry between Beckinsale and Cusack, absolutely none. That is what a romantic comedy must get right, that is the chemistry. I will say this, Molly Shannon is good here, funny as hell. Truth be told that's why I gave it a 2, she was the only good part of this film. John Corbett is weak here, he fails as being funny or slightly entertaining. The writing is just standard, nothing special to brag about. Jeremy Piven also falls flat. This movie is BORING, it doesn't engage its audience at all, doesn't offer any real feeling or satisfaction either. I wish I could give you a good review of Serendipity and say it's a cute heart warming movie with good chemistry, but unfortunately, that's just what I wish it was, I put the majority of the blame on John Cusack, and the lack of chemistry. Serendipity receives only a 2/10, because of Molly Shannon's funny performance as Beckinsale's best friend.

Might have worked with Meg & Tom (script of course by Nora). Would have been a blast with Cary Grant & Irene Dunne 80 years ago but it's just another rushed choppy flat halfway effort with Cusack & Beckensale. No question she's gorgeous but she just can't act. Cusack can act but just can't do light comedy. Example: the critical hotel elevator scene in the beginning with the obnoxious kid & chubby (wouldn't be funny if dad wasn't chubby, right?). It should have been hilarious. Picture Cary Grant who was the master of these kinds of comic situations (see Bringing up Baby, for example) or Tom Hanks who cut his teeth in comedy. Cusack just acts peevish, period. I can only attribute the high ranking here to how inured viewers have become to highly derivative work from Hollywood.

In this romantic love story it tells the tale of how two ordinary people meet while Christmas shopping and give the universe a sign of one another in order to find out if they are meant for each other. Years later they both get the other person's sign and know their love was meant to be. Before the couple gets together years later, they were both about to get married to someone else. I guess everyone has someone they're meant to end up with. The name's of the two people are Jonathan and Kate, Kate describes Serendipity as "a fortunate accident". Which describes the movie perfectly because them meeting was supposed to happen and usually accidents aren't good, but in this movie it was a good thing that they did meet. The way that the universe kept sending them signals of each other before they met again was interesting. Both of them almost gave up because they didn't know where else to find each other. They then met again at the Ice Rink where they went after meeting and were together for a long time. This movie is a great movie to watch at any time, but better during around the holidays because it's around winter season in the movie. I love the concept of how fate can bring any two people closer than they thought.
