What happens when John Cusack, Kate Beckinsale, Jeremy Piven, and Eugene Levy act in a movie with a bad script? Serendipity. That is "Serendipity," not serendipity. You learn at the beginning of the movie that serendipity means a happy accident, a pleasant coincidence. Jonathan and Sara meet and leave it to chance to see if they will ever find each other again. However, watching Serendipity is an accident of another kind. The script is trite. Nothing new or original happens in this movie. It's predictable and kind of boring.There is one really good line in it, of course delivered by Jeremy Piven: "You're such an a$$hole. You're my hero!"
I should also add that Jim noticed that John Cusack performed his trademark move - the crouched on the ground pose that he tends to do in every movie. The defeated, yet about to be victorious, good guy pose.
Take a pass on this one or watch it when you're down with the flu.
