It's stupid, cliché, unbelievable and predictable, but it's also quite funny, charming, well acted and pretty entertaining. Serendipity might not be the best romantic dramedy out there, but it's still a very enjoyable one.

With a wonderful use of light, design, and scene set up, a person feels the passage of time and feels immersed in the settings. The screenplay practically pops off screen with the chemistry of Cusack and Beckinsale. A true hit for any night of chick flicks!… Expand

John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale are well matched in this charming little romance film from director Peter Chelsom. Though a bit outlandish, it does pose interesting questions regarding fate/destiny vs free will. Plus, who cares when the romance itself is believable and so damn charming? Plus, they both turn in solid performances in the film as is typical for two talented actors. Now, the biggest problems here are its outlandishness and conventional approach, but those are not fatal flaws as the film is enjoyable, funny, and charming, in spite of its conventional approach. Plus, its arguments about fate/destiny and free will are quite interesting and engaging. Overall, Serendipity works.… Expand

And I've seen a lot of romantic movies that are cliche, but this one stands up among it's piers. The story is incredible predictable, if you see 10 minutes of it, you're pretty sure of whats going to happen. On another topic, the protagonists are selfish persons who destroy others people lives just because of a hunch that in real life would make them lonely and miserable. And that's how I wished them to be at the end.… Expand

Imagine trying to bake a perfect cake with layers of chocolate and vanilla. But the cake will be nothing more than a forgettable, fattening dessert unless it is cooked at the exact set temperature. Even with old ingredients, Imagine trying to bake a perfect cake with layers of chocolate and vanilla. But the cake will be nothing more than a forgettable, fattening dessert unless it is cooked at the exact set temperature. Even with old ingredients, 'Serendipity' was cooked perfectly. It comes out of the oven with the candles already on it, and they're lit, too. 'Serendipity' is a movie with so much heart and bold honesty that you just might like it. Romantic comedies are not meant to be good or memorable beyond a few sparked daydreams, but once Cusack and Beckinsale click in front of the camera they click on screen, and when snow falls and lips lock everything else falls into place. It's as if the film were a tapestry of events and characters that was meant to be viewed right when you thought a romantic comedy could never be a total success, just to prove you wrong. Beckinsale and Cusack Are Jonathan and Sarah, two people who fall in love by doing nothing more peculiar than visiting a department store. They are not the perfect people romantic comedies often portray the 'featured' couple to be. Jonathan and Sarah are just a nice pair trying to make sense of a life changing night. The characters never seem as if actors play them. They seem to be as caught up in their romance as we are. Jeremy Piven plays a better 'sidekick' to Cusack than even Vince Vaughn did to Owen Wilson in "Wedding Crashers." The script is so refreshing that when it's funny you forget it has a romantic base and when it is romantic you forget it is meant to be funny, as well. The romance is like the center of a flower while the comedy-centered moments are pretty pedals. Everything in the film seems proud and charming. When 'Serendipity' ends and you realize (and admit) it found a way to hide your logical views on love for a few hours, you will ponder just how the movie managed so much charm. Is it the directing, the writing, the acting, the soundtrack? Not really. It's in how they mix. It's how when the movie has the perfect actors it also knows when to have them say a perfect line at a perfect moment while the perfect music plays off camera. 'Serendipity' might have its flaws and it will never be more than a romantic comedy, but it's a really good one and everyone involved with the project seems to know that. It's like the charming little novel that is always eager to be taken off the shelf and read.… Expand

When Jonathon randomly bumps into Sarah in a department store whilst both trying to purchase the same pair of gloves an instant bond is formed. Sarah has a great believe in fate and takes Jonathon for some food at her favourite café
