Serendipity stars John Cusack as Jonathan Trager and Kate Beckinsale as Sara Thomas. The two have a clandestine meeting in a Bloomingdale's department store when they both try and by the last pair of black cashmere gloves. They hit it off immediately, despite the fact that they are both in serious relationships.
Sara, being a big believer in fate, decides to leave their possible romance to serendipity. In the end she writes her name and phone number in a copy of Love In The Time Of Cholera, and he writes his on a five dollar bill. She spends the five, and sells the book, and proclaims that if they ever get back to them, fate wants them together, then leaves when she mistakenly thinks he didn't pick the same floor in an elevator as her.
I must admit that I am a bit biased in making this review since Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack are two of my favorite actors. But I believe that anybody that believes in fate, or simply likes a good rom-com, will enjoy this movie. The acting, aside from Beckinsale and Cusack, is superb, especially that of the best friends of Sara and Jonathan, played by Molly Shannon and Jeremy Piven. All in all, I give this movie four out of five stars.
