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.
Audience Reviews for Serendipity
i like this movie, unlike a lot of other romcoms that ive religiously watched with the vain hope of it being good and finally saying its a romcom to be proud of, this movie is disappointing its sweet and i love kate beckinsale regardless of a shit movie! Its enjoyable and amusing and worth a watch for those who love romcoms and who have lost faith in all romcoms out there!

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 chance and have a great time. But Sara worries that they aren't meant to be, so she comes up with a plan. She writes her name and phone number in a book, and he writes his name and phone number on a 5 dollar bill. If they ever find the other, they will call each other and know it was meant to be. Years pass and both have moved on with their lives. Johnathon is about to get married and Sara has just gotten engaged. However both want desperately to find the other, to know for sure if they were meant to be. My favorite character in the movie is Dean(Jeremy Piven), Johnathon's best friend. Piven is one of my favorite actors, and brought a lot to the role. Every time I see this movie on tv, I stop and watch it. It's just such a fantastic movie. If you've never seen it, what is wrong with you? Go get a copy and sit back, and just fall in love. If you have seen it, well look for it again and be reminded of how great of a movie this really is.

| Jonathan Trager: | Oh, come on. You've never seen Cool Hand Luke? Paul Newman? Oh my god. Come on! "Failure to communicate." Sadistic cop in sunglasses with no name. Reminds me of you in that way. |
| Sara Thomas: | Um, favorite New York moment. |
| Jonathan Trager: | This one's climbing the charts. |
