Editorial Review:
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
Serendipity [Region 2] Reviews:
Easy watch 
2009-12-30 - Yet another cute romance comedy with a twist of destiny. Easy watch, no tears, some fun. In places a couple of oopsies, but it doesn't bother much. John and Kate are both young and cute!
My favorite movie 
2009-12-16 - A classic in my opinion - a great movie that leaves me feeling happy and hopeful every time I watch it. You can't help but believe that John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale will find each other in the end...

It was wonderful!!1
2009-10-13 - I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The picture was clear & it was free of any defects.
Disappointing 
2009-08-31 - For me, it's difficult to enjoy a film that is all about a "chase scene". There's very little development and not much to get attached to. I felt the same way about "Only You". While it's a cute premise, I'd hoped for more.
