Serendipity
Although strangers Sara and Jonathan are both already in relationships, they realize they have genuine chemistry after a chance encounter – but part company soon after. Years later, they each yearn to reunite, despite being destined for the altar. But to give true love a chance, they have to find one another again.
Critics Sentiment
Jonathan and Sara have dessert at Serendipity restaurant
Jonathan's rehearsal and Sara's encounter with Lars escalate tensions
The film drops from its romantic peak during the initial courtship to its lowest point during the morally questionable wedding preparation sequences.
Serendipity starts strong with genuine chemistry and magical romance, but suffers in the middle act as critics found the protagonists' behavior toward their fiancés problematic. The film recovers with a satisfying romantic conclusion that most reviewers found touching despite the contrived journey.
