Serendipity
A will they/won't they romantic comedy, set in a familiar winter wonderland New York. Starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale, itmakes up in charm and occasional oddball humour for what it lacks in originality
Christmas in New York and amid the melee of Bloomingdales two strangers - Jonathan Trager (Cusack) and Sara Thomas (Beckinsale) - fight over the last pair of mittens. Whereas in real life such encounters tend to be rude or banal, in Hollywood they spell romance. So before we know it the cuddly pair are drinking hot chocolate, skating in Central Park and talking soppily about serendipity. Jonathan is ready to hook up right away, but kooky Sara leaves the decision to a make-or-break game of chance in a lift ("If we're meant to meet again, we will."). Her stupid ...
The best chick flick since
Lovely, feel-good film, with a charming cast and great soundtrack. Yes, it was predictable, but hey its a romantic comedy - there can be only one ending!:-) and while some rom-coms really annoy you with the obvious plot devices, this one has a very light touch, particularly for a film dealing with such whopping coincidences. John Cusack wonderful as ever, Kate Beckinsale an endearing heroine (although she should see a shrink about this 'fate' thing she has). New York, snow and an entertaining race to the 'church' (now where have I seen that before;-). What are you waiting for ladies - call a couple of girlfriends, open a bottle of wine, put this DVD on and enjoy.
