who else totally loves this film!?


i am so pleased that so many other people love this film. most of my friends have not even heard of it, but it is one of my fav's. i have seen it hundreds of times and know it practically words for word (what can i say, i am sad!)
i wasn't particularlly a fan of john cussak before i saw this, but after i saw it i fell so totally in love with him in this film. and the guy who plays dean too, he is such a cutie! did anyone realsie they are best friends in real life!

I'm just like you I know Serendipity word-for-word, i love the film its one of my fav films of all time its really sweet, Kate Beckinsale is so beautiful and sexy at the same time in this film. Also i went out and bought it on dvd as soon as i seen it, but silly me i lent it out to a girl and i liked her so much i let her keep it.

Just saw it for the first time tonight... Wow !

Such a cute, riveting and entertaining film.

I was captivated with the entire plot, and besides it being a little magical, it scored high notes with me....

Being one who totally lives and believes that destiny happens, I was enthralled with the premise of this vivid film....

You'll be interested to know that this film and what it says is totally true...

One example, I'm an avid fan of the legacy of Ernesto Guevara... And what do I see in this film:

A picture of the great Argentinian....!!!!!

And for you dismissive ones, No it wasn't that timeless and very popular pose of Che taken by Alberto Gutierrez on March 5th 1960... But a sideways picture of Guevara where he was interviewed by two Chinese reporters.

On the desk of a fellow reporter...

Cool, eh?!!

Really good! Just saw it yesterday on TV

I just recently rented this film on Tuesday and have been watching it every chance I could since. I just loved it and I love John Cusack! It's the sort of movie that leaves me with a happy feeling when it's over.

reply

ME!!!! i've watch it for the 11th time yesterday.

reply

don't know why but i like watching this movie again and again. It's my favourite romance movie. Most of people finds it ordinary,no matter i will continue to watch it again and again. Not perfect, not famous but there can't be any movie as !!cute!! as this one.

reply

I totally love this film!!!!

reply

Me too........The best movie...I love it..

reply

Loved it so damn much.....

best Romantic comedy of all time!! far better than sleepless in seattle to which one may compare this

reply

I totally loved it, it made me cry and I felt the excitement at every moment. Whereas most films that make two people miss eachother by just a hair's whisker (think sliding doors), this one wasn't at all cliché, it actually had you wanting them to get together. Beautiful film, well made and well performed.

i loved this movie too!! i thought it was magical!

Oh my God I just love this movie. I bought it for like £18 when I'd never seen it before, 'cause I'm a Kate Beckinsale fan. I've seen it twice since I got it all of four days ago. It's such a cute movie! I was watching it in bed and I kept hitting the duvet with the control whenever they just missed each other or something going "damn!!" and getting excited that they would meet at the end. And the scene when they met at the end was really... well I have no words to describe it but I know you all feel the same way about it I do. I hardly ever completely love a film the first time I see it, but... this time I did. It's great! John Cusack (sp? Can never spell that right) and Kate Beckinsale work so well together in the film, you're thinking they really could be both destined to play that part in the film. The bit where she finds out he didn't get married and she's crying 'cause she's so happy was a really great bit of acting. Not many actresses can cry. I know that's an odd statement but I mean not many actresses can make it look convincing and she did. The film is just too cute!

It's one of my favourite films for sure, I'm never lending it to anyone! I'll miss it too much. Nobody I know has ever heard of it though so I'll have to spread the word on it.

OMG- I'm a 15 yr. old guy and I can't even begin to describe how much I love this film- I have seen it around 52 times and have it down word for word!! It IS MY FAV FILM OF ALL TIME!!! I have got my stepsisters -(who are 6 and 10) - hooked on it - and made sure my whole family has seen it!!

You see... when it comes to 'Serendipity' it's not just a movie to me- OH NO! It's a feeling inside my heart! ... If you read my review- by bpatters- (old username) you'll see that it reminds me of Christmas in Manhattan- MY DREAM!!! To go to Manhattan @ Christmas time and take in the feeling and go to Serendipity3 and drink Frrrozen Hot Chocolate!!!- I am also such a huge fan I bought Serendipitous off the internet!! - http://www.serendipity3.com - it's a unisex perfume that's direct from Serendipity3 and smells like the FHC!! I've also bought a I LOVE SERENDIPITY shirt off Ebay- ( i never got it- lol - but desperately want one!!!)

Also... the music in the film- OMG - UNBELIEVABLE!! The soundtrack is my FAV CD- as well as my stepsistes- lol - The film would almost be NOTHING without the contemporary sound of the music!! Plus the soundtrack has made me a HUGE fan of Shawn Colvin- who I listen to constantly now!! - I don't even see how I could live without this film it's such a burden to me!! I take it EVERYWHERE!!! - I am OBSESSED - lol - literally!! It's got me throught difficult situations as well- Whenever I need cheering up- I pop it in and cry tears of joy watching it!! Man.... I could go on forever- - but this probably is already going to take quite some time to read- lol- So... I'll stop - But before I go... more than anything I have to let EVERYONE know that I believe in a powerful thing that the ancients called 'Fatum' - "What we currently refer to as DESTINY!!!!"

I LOVE SERENDIPITY!!! -(I still want that Shirt!!- lol)

I remember seeing the previews for Serendipity about a year or so ago, and I thought to myself "I must see that movie"...

Then, months and months later I saw the previews again, and I thought "Oh yeh, I was going to see that movie".....

And today I went into the video store and rented it ...... and I certainly wasn't disappointed!!!

There is nothing quite like watching a film that makes you feel good inside, and this film certainly does. I will probably watch again tomorrow!!!!!

I think it is really nice that a GUY likes this film... It is nice that it is romantic, and yet a guy can relate to it!!! I like the relationship of John Cusak and Jeremy Piven a lot too!
