The Worst Film Ever
Purely Joyful Movie!
Don't Believe the Hype
best movie i've ever seen.
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.
Very rarely do I see a movie where I literally would not change one single thing about it. This movie is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and leave you in a good mood for days after watching it.I have always been a huge fan of Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack so to see them together in a movie was just fantastic. They had amazing chemistry and the plot was very original and exciting. You are definitely cheering them on from the very beginning.This movie definitely makes you wonder about fate and the one who got away. You feel slight sympathy for the significant others that they leave but it is clear that they are not meant to be with them. It is a good message to those looking for true love and happiness, to never settle for less than someone who absolutely adores you.This is definitely one of my favorite romantic comedies of all time, one that you can just watch over and over. Guaranteed to lift your spirits about life and love.
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.
