Amazon.com: The irresistible casting of John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale highlights this predictable romantic comedy, which combines the romantic yearning of An Affair to Remember and the New York charm of You've Got Mail. It all begins "a few years ago," when New Yorker Jonathan (Cusack) meets Brit beauty Sara (Beckinsale). They share a few perfect hours together before parting ways, leaving future encounters to her quirky obsession with fate. "A few years later," they're about to marry their respective fiancés (reluctantly, of course), and urgently hoping for destiny to bring them back together. Under the casual direction of Peter Chelsom (barely recovering from Town & Country), this starry-eyed romance offers no surprises, but it has a comforting familiarity, made warmer by the easy chemistry of the leads, with obligatory best-friend support by Molly Shannon and long-time Cusack pal Jeremy Piven. It's hokey, but die-hard romantics are sure to be forgiving. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - Serendipity
This is such a good movie!! A real "date" movie!! It is one of my all time favorite and always leaves me feeling good!! I believe in fate, signs and serendipity!!! A must see film!
Rating: - A Warm and Fuzzy Movie
Not normally a movie I'd chose to watch but I'm glad I did. As a guy, I prefer more action. But my wife loved it. A great movie to watch alone at night. Very romantic. Definitely, a "chick flick" (my wife's words!). Well done. Leaves you feeling good at the end.
Kate Beckinsale is an absolute sweetheart (and beautiful!). She makes this movie. Wish I could see her in more movies!
I also bought the sound track and love it. Very relaxing and upbeat songs.

I am not sure how much I believe in serendipity - good fortune discovered by accident also known as fate, but this movie could make a believer out of me. John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale are wonderful together as soul mates that overcome every obstacle to be together! They are successful because it was meant to be. If you can't suspend reality, and just go with the flow, then this movie probably isn't for you. It is meant for those that can have faith.
Rating: - Wonderful Movie
I buy quite often from amazon and I have not once been let down. This was yet again, another fabulous purchase. I recommend it highly. :-)

This happy-go-lucky is a must see for anyone who is a romantic at heart. John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale are wonderful together. Never will you find yourself rooting for a couple to find their way into each other's life as much you will here.
