After the long-delayed
Town and Country, director
Peter Chelsom turns in his second 2001 effort with this love-at-first-sight romantic comedy that revolves around fate, destiny, and chance.
Jonathan (
John Cusack) and
Sara (
Kate Beckinsale) are two New Yorkers already in relationships when they meet one another, each reaching for the last pair of cashmere gloves at a department store. Over coffee, they strike up an intimate conversation, and
Jonathan thinks they should see each other again. Unconvinced,
Sara arranges an elaborate series of "fate" games; if they're meant to be together, she reasons, she and
Jonathan will receive some sort of sign in the future. Flash forward several years, and the two are at opposite ends of the country --
Jonathan in New York and
Sara in San Francisco, both engaged to be married. Still, neither can shake the memory of their chance encounter, and they both enlist their best friends (
Molly Shannon and
Jeremy Piven) to help them find their true love again.
Serendipity had its Gala World Premiere at the
2001 Toronto Film Festival.
