After the long-delayed Town and Country, director Peter Chelsom turns in his second 2001 effort with this love-at-first-sight romantic comedy that revolves around fate, destiny, and chance. Jonathan (John Cusack) and Sara (Kate Beckinsale) are two New Yorkers already in relationships when they meet one another, each reaching for the last pair of cashmere gloves at a department store. Over coffee, they strike up an intimate conversation, and Jonathan thinks they should see each other again.

A movie I found myself liking more than perhaps I should.
Fluffy and innocuous as Cool Whip, it is nonetheless uplifting, romantic and delightful, further enhancing the world's enduring love affair with the Big Apple.
Serendipity may be calculated, but the good news is that all that hard work never prevents it from being genuinely charming.
So stringently a 'romantic comedy,' you could review it with a pie chart.
Insipid, by-the-numbers romance.
An overfamiliar and exasperating game of cat-and-mousie.
Lightweight romance may appeal to teens.
The goofiest movie Nora Ephron never wrote.
...so empty, so derivative
A química entre Cusack e Beckinsale é eficaz - pena que, durante a maior parte do tempo, os dois sejam mantidos separados pelo fraco e previsível roteiro de Marc Klein.
I can't get over the complete reliance on fate even if it is what the movie is all about.
Serendipity director Peter Chelsom gives us charm instead of plot, romance instead of logic.
The story's been done before and it's bound to be done again, nonetheless, this incarnation is enjoyable and worth watching.
I'm generally not a chick flick/romantic movie type of guy. However, I LOVE "Serendipity". This is my favorite romance movie. I love the premise, I love the performances, I love the music, I really love everything about it. It's the story of Johnathon(John Cusack) and Sara(Kate Beckinsale). They meet one night by
