New York City, just before Christmas. The last pair of black cashmere gloves in Bloomingdale's is on its way to the counter. As the gloves arrive, Sara (Kate Beckinsale) and Jonathan (John Cusack) claim them simultaneously. And so it begins--Sara and Jonathan go to a little coffee shop, named Serendipity, to decide who gets the gloves. They skate in Central Park. They look at the stars--the Cassiopeia constellation has the same pattern as the freckles on Sara's forearm. She writes her phone number in a book, saying she'll sell it to a random bookstore tomorrow. Jonathan writes his number on a five-dollar bill, and she gives it to a street vendor. If destiny means for them to be together, the book will find him, and the five-dollar bill will find her.
Several years later--in New York--Jonathan is about to marry Hally (Bridget Moynahan). On the West Coast, Lars (John Corbett) proposes to Sara. Both Jonathan and Sara remember their delightful night. Jonathan sets out with friend Dean (Jeremy Piven) to find the book. Sara, with her friend Eve (Molly Shannon), flies to New York looking for Jonathan. Crisp direction from Peter Chelsom, a witty script by Marc Klein, and beautiful performances by John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale, make SERENDIPITY a delightful romantic comedy.

Amiable but empty romantic comedy, so full of coincidence that it becomes risible.

A Good Feel Good Movie
I think that this film is one of the best 'feel good' movies that I've seen ... albeit that the storyline borders on Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan's ... read more »

An old classic
I saw this film years ago and enjoyed it again. A soppy love story with a twist of fate, worth watching if you want a chick flick would watch again.

There are also strong supporting roles from the Panic Room and Requiem For A Dream actor Jared Leto and Bridget Moynahan, who has appeared in I, Robot and The Recruit. Lord Of War is Read more
