Me after watching Serendipity:

*puts fingers in ears and starts chanting*

'I'm a guy I don't like romantic comedies... I'm a guy I don't like romantic comedies... I'm a guy I don't like romantic comedies... I'm a guy I don't like romantic comedies... I'm a guy I don't like romantic comedies... I'm a guy I don't like romantic comedies...'

Crap, it's not working....

A world where John Cusack can pull Kate Beckinsale, is a world where I want to live.

Film 32 of The December Project: My Waterloo.

Ironically, it was serendipitous that I watched this film in the first place, culminating in me falling graciously in love with it.

The plot is perhaps over-sentimental; but it's harmlessly full of heart. It's teeming with affection and radiant beauty, deliciously glossed by two wonderful and touching performances from John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.

As I get older I'm going to begin to understand the study of film more academically and intellectually, but I will never lose my desire for films like this. Just like how your stomach will never lose it's desire for chocolate.

Maybe this film has been ruined for me due to the negative circumstances in which I watched it, but I wasn't too impressed.

This film tries, it really does. Serendipity leaves you with a wonderfully warm fuzzy feeling inside, and for about 20 seconds makes you re-evaluate your love life and the way you go about finding the "one."

After 20 seconds you've pretty much forgotten everything about it, apart from how hot Kate Beckinsale is, and how wonderful the word "Serendipity" is on your tongue.

A sweet romantic comedy with a smart premise and another fine Cusack performance. Its incidental pleasures are few and it's not particularly funny, though Eugene Levy scores big in one of those overbearing, one-joke appearances that never usually work.

The movie may look like the same with respect to rest of the films of this genre.
The acting and the twists in the story make it worth the watch.

Delivers exactly what you expect from it.
No more no less.
And yet, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would and it's one of those films that I would watch again if I found it on tv some boring Saturday afternoon.

About as subtle as an elephant in the kitchen. Still, despite myself, I kind of enjoyed it. Kind of. It also serves as further proof Eugene Levy is one of the most criminally underused actors alive.

A romantic comedy where everything is certain but we're still watching attractive people in agony for ninety minutes is useless. When its actually being romantic, it's a fine and satisfying film. It is romantic for all of fifteen minutes. It shows us the wrong bulk. I doubt I'm alone in wishing the film were about love rather than destiny.

Awwwwwww.

Αχ.

A sweet story about lost chances, destiny and its signs that make us believe true love may actually happen if we try hard enough. The typical Sunday afternoon movie, but better than the majority of its genre.

Mies ja nainen, varattuja omilla tahoillaan, viettää yhteisen hetken. Vielä vuosien jälkeenkin tapahtunut pyörii mielessä ja vanha suola janottaa.

Kohtalolla leikkivää, kaavamaista, lässynlässyä.

This is just a fantastic chick flick, and easily my second favorite film of both Cusack and Beckinsale. For the record, the firsts are Say Anything and Pearl Harbor!

Yeah it starts in cliched land with both leads dating the WRONG one and you know how it will go from there, but I never cared. These two should had made another 10 movies together since.

I remember only seeing this cause a girl I wanted to date, but never got to, and I were going to see it with a bunch of people. Glad I at least found a great movie on that night.
