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.

Romantic comedies are often cult films. There is a category of people who enjoys "Serendipity" and another who loves "An affair to remember". What you think of a movie like this, depends a lot on your age, experiences and upbringing.I enjoyed "Serendipity" for many reasons. One is the great chemistry between the actors who seem to have enjoyed making this movie. I also used to enjoy it, when I was younger and very much in love, for the message it sent. The message said people were predestined for each other and nothing could keep them apart. Now, that I'm older, I don't believe in this anymore and I'd be quite unhappy to have married any of the women I've been in love with.All the horrors in the movie, getting crushes on other people girlfriends when not being single, cancelling weddings on the wedding day, and making important decisions based on feelings and hunches are taken lightly. The movie justifies them through the implied necessity to fulfill the destiny of the main characters.

This movie is incredibly terrible yet absolutely lovely. I'm sure most people can agree that this is not the most realistic or even engaging movie but nevertheless there is something magical about it. Everybody wants to secretly believe in fate and soul mates and this movie is overflowing with those sentiments.Aside from the romantic clichés I personally found some of the movie a bit dull and lifeless in parts. It was also extremely hard to find the storyline believable but I managed to overlook it for most of the movie. I didn't hate this movie, in fact I kind of loved it but it's not something I need to watch again anytime soon.

Just another wishy-washy, highly improbable, "true love conquers all" fantasy rom-com, which really thinks it clever with all that serependitious "fate" leading up to a big soppy, happy ending.John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale play the literally star-crossed lovers, whose chance meeting over a pair of gloves in Bloomingdales just before Christmas apparently sees them click as only true lovers can despite both being engaged to other people. Through partial design and massively coincidental chance they separate but return years later to their favourite New York locations where wouldn't you know it, they finally catch up with each other and re-ignite their earlier spark.This idea has been done before in the likes of "An Affair To Remember" and naturally "Sleepless in Seattle" but I found it very insubstantial and uninvolving indeed. The two leads are attractive enough but get given some terrible airy-fairy dialogue to spout. I felt that with more grounded writing, plus a few laughs and a decent soundtrack wouldn't have hurt either, but really, besides showing off some nice New York locations, this is one film I'm sorry my path happened upon.
