Serindipity

Serendipity (2001) starring John Cusack, Kate Beckinsale, Jeremy Piven, Molly Shannon, John Corbett, Eugene Levy. Jon (Cusack) and Sara (Beckinsale) meet and fall in love one magical night in New York, but they are both already in relationships. He wants her number so that he can find her later, but she wants to leave things up to fate. Are they meant to be together? Years later, as each is preparing to get married to someone else, they go on one last frantic search for one another. I felt that Cusack and Beckinsale had pretty good chemistry on screen, but not enough to knock your socks off. Of course the viewer knows all along that they will find each other in the final reel, so there's not much suspense. I found that I was pretty well entertained. Subtitles are offered, but the closed captions are easier to read. Grade: B
