TownRootGuy 7 is the lowest rating I give when I don't really have any criticism.This movie has a great cast, fantastic eye candy AND fortuitously, fate has given us yet another opportunity to laugh at a movie in which Cusack's pain is a central theme. Who doesn't enjoy that? That's what he gets for making an 80's movie about getting laid sans any nude babes. Jerk.This is a must see for the RomCom crowd and enthusiasts of watching Cusack suffer. I can watch this every 5 - 7 years even though I still want my $2 from going to see The Sure Thing. That entire movie would have been better off dead on the cutting room floor.

foghorn_clj Sure this movie covers the basics of the romantic comedy. Two attractive leading actors, two funny sidekicks and plot points that cause barriers to true love etc.But this is irrelevant because all of these are overshadowed by the fact the two main characters appear on screen together for a grand total of 15 minutes. And for the rest of the time when they're on their own THEY'RE BORING!Really the only saving graces for this movie are the performances of Jeremy Piven and Molly Shannon. And even then they don't have a lot to work with.So if you're in the mood for mindless, fluffy nonsense where the characters talk about "fate" and "signs" at nauseam this is the movie for you.

dandbone Romantic comedies are often cult films. There is a category of people who enjoys "Serendipity" and another who loves "An affair to remember". What you think of a movie like this, depends a lot on your age, experiences and upbringing.I enjoyed "Serendipity" for many reasons. One is the great chemistry between the actors who seem to have enjoyed making this movie. I also used to enjoy it, when I was younger and very much in love, for the message it sent. The message said people were predestined for each other and nothing could keep them apart. Now, that I'm older, I don't believe in this anymore and I'd be quite unhappy to have married any of the women I've been in love with.All the horrors in the movie, getting crushes on other people girlfriends when not being single, cancelling weddings on the wedding day, and making important decisions based on feelings and hunches are taken lightly. The movie justifies them through the implied necessity to fulfill the destiny of the main characters.

inframan Might have worked with Meg & Tom (script of course by Nora). Would have been a blast with Cary Grant & Irene Dunne 80 years ago but it's just another rushed choppy flat halfway effort with Cusack & Beckensale. No question she's gorgeous but she just can't act. Cusack can act but just can't do light comedy. Example: the critical hotel elevator scene in the beginning with the obnoxious kid & chubby (wouldn't be funny if dad wasn't chubby, right?). It should have been hilarious. Picture Cary Grant who was the master of these kinds of comic situations (see Bringing up Baby, for example) or Tom Hanks who cut his teeth in comedy. Cusack just acts peevish, period. I can only attribute the high ranking here to how inured viewers have become to highly derivative work from Hollywood.
