Review:
If you don't know what it means when you go in, you know what
it means when you come out. Serendipity, it means a lucky
accident, a fortunate misfortune, a "more by luck than
judgement" thing.
The film is very good, John Cusack, the hapless guy who falls
for a complete stranger, Kate Bekinsale, the complete believer
in fate, sorry, Serendipity (the name of the cafe they have
their first coffee in). Serendipity is a love story that is
romantic, but not sickenly so, about a couple who meet over
a pair of cashmere gloves that they both want ( and fight
for!!). The two main characters are both in relationships,
they're both spoken for, yet neither of them can let go of
their feelings for each other over a couple of hours spent
together on a cold December evening. Without giving away an
obvious ending all goes well in the end, but only after a
bit of heartache.
Serendipity is a well directed film, and Jeremy Piven is great
as John Cusacks best friend.
