Review of Serendipity (2001) by Spangle — 09 Jun 2016
A cute and charming romantic comedy, Serendipity may be typical, but is still a delightfully magical experience. John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale are well matched in this charming little romance film from director Peter Chelsom.
Though a bit outlandish, it does pose interesting questions regarding fate/destiny vs free will. Plus, who cares when the romance itself is believable and so damn charming? Plus, they both turn in solid performances in the film as is typical for two talented actors.
Now, the biggest problems here are its outlandishness and conventional approach, but those are not fatal flaws as the film is enjoyable, funny, and charming, in spite of its conventional approach. Plus, its arguments about fate/destiny and free will are quite interesting and engaging.
Overall, Serendipity works.
