Serendipity
Serendipity ★★½ 2001 (PG-13)
Ro mance finds Jonathan (Cusack) and Sara (Beckinsale) falling in love one cold New York winter's night but then they part com pany because Sara believes if it's meant to be, fate will bring them back together. Sara's a twinkling twit. Ten years later both are engaged, but Jon and Sara also become separately convinced that they are destined to be together—if they can find each other again. Lots of nearmisses and travel between New York and San Francisco until the inevitable happens. Swoony romanticism and more dippy than serendipitous but done in an expert manner. 87m/C VHS, DVD . US John Cusack, Kate Beckinsale, Molly Shannon, John Corbett, Jeremy Piven, Bridget Moynahan, Eugene Levy; D: Peter Chelsom; W: Marc Klein; C: John de Borman; M: Alan Silvestri.
