 Unique Love Story January 20, 2007
Dismal Angel (Scotland)
17 out of 17 found this review helpful
This is one of those movies that while completely predictable and very unlikely to happen, is still unique and captivating in it's own way.
It's a wonderful love story about Jonathan and Sara, two people who meet by chance trying to buy the same pair of Cashmere gloves in Bloomingdales just before Christmas. Both are in a relationship with different people yet, on this one chance meeting and spending a day together, are quite taken with each other.
Although Jonathan wants to continue seeing Sara, Sara - as a firm believer in fate - thinks they should let it be fates decision whether they should end up together, and so, Sara writes her name and number in a book which she will give to charity, and Jonathan writes his name and number on a five dollar bill which Sara uses at a Kiosk to buy something. Her logic is that if they should happen upon each others names and numbers in future, it's obvious they should be together again.
Some years pass after they depart from each other - both have moved on and are now engaged to other people, and yet, they still have thoughts about each other. Jonathan has been endlessly searching for the book with Sara's number, and as he's soon to be wed, he decides to take one last stab at finding her before it's too late. Sara is also soon to marry, and decides to take off to New York in order to find him.
Throughout their search for each other, a huge number of coincidences weave in and out of their lives linking them unknowingly to the other, physically being blocks away and unaware the other is searching, and seredipity is working to bring them together.
A wonderful romance with some great comic moments from Molly Shannon, Eugene Levy and Jeremy Piven, and some brilliantly delivered scenes from John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale. You won't be sorry you bought this.
Fabulous and heartwarming film July 31, 2007

Romantic comedies aren't normally my sort of film (due to the relatively low explosion count and lack of gunfire :)), but I defy anyone to fail to be moved by this tale of not so much star-crossed as star-somewhat messed-about-with lovers. The script is excellent, and the central performances from both John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale are perfect. Perfect. With strong support (especially from Piven as Cusack's best friend), there's no shortage of laughter, but one genuinely comes to care about these two people and I was desperately keeping my fingers crossed that there WOULD be a fairytale ending. I can't recommend this film highly enough.
A feel good movie of the highest order February 7, 2007

Does Fate exist? And can it guide and reach Jonathan and Sara-despite their current partners,and over time and distance? Some people may doubt that magic/fate exists in this day and age but magic this film truly is. After a hard day,sit back and bask in the warmth that this movie will put in your heart(even the hardest of cynical hearts). Treat yourself to the romance and magic of New York,great acting and direction,superb script and a wonderful soundtrack. Whether you believe in fate or not this movie will make you feel so good you may just admit to yourself that such a wonderful encounter is possible.
Surrender to Serendipity... January 10, 2007

This is more than a film, it is an inspiring and heartfelt approach to life, it specifically contributes it's enlightening story from a favoured belief;destiny- the idea that each and everyone of us have a soulmate, you can be thousands of miles apart but you're lives will inevitably entwine.
To adapt this heart warming belief to the big screen, John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale contribute their commendable talent to play the star cross lovers as they simply float through their everyday lives, blinded by the truth that will bring them together, New York is magically portrayed at every angle and complemented with meaningful lyrics by an original soundtrack.
This film gives you faith and comfort in your pursuit for love, Knowing there is someone out there for you, this film is worth savouring.
A Fateful Encounter November 9, 2003

Serendipity stars the talented John Cusack and British actress Kate Beckinsale. Set in New York the film unfolds gently from an unexpected encounter in a shop where Jonathan Trager (Cusack) meets an enigmatic young lady (Beckinsale) who tries to buy the same pair of gloves as him. Therein follows a special night where the pair spend time together and Jonathan gets a 'crush' on someone else's girlfriend and when the time comes to part Sara, who strongly believes in fate and destiny, decides it must be left for them to find each other again as the time is not right. Jonathan somewhat reluctantly agrees and the couple go their separate ways. Some years later, when each are engaged to other partners, something niggles them and they both set out to find their 'true' love and indeed, their soulmate. Kate Beckinsale is quintessentially English in her role as Sara and gives a sweet, convincing performance whilst John Cusack as Jonathan is, as ever, charming and charismatic. Jeremy Piven (Cusack's best friend in real life) is in a good supporting 'best buddy' role who encourages Jonathan to keep up his search for Sara and Mollie Shannon gives a believeable performance as Sara's friend.I enjoyed this film immensely as, being a hopeless romantic, it proved to be right up my street! Of course, it is a fairly predictable film but it is gentle and entertaining in its own sweet way. I thoroughly recommend it for all you romantics out there.
