5. Serendipity (4 out of 10)

The movie Serendipity with John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale is a story of "romance, with a sense of humor". It involves two strangers who believe they are meant for each other, and decide to let fate decide the future due to their already being in other relationships.

Honestly, I did not find this movie humorous at all. I think it is expected that you would think everyone would like a movie with a chase and/or a thrill to really get you going. I found Serendipity as predictable as to the joke, "Why did the chicken cross the rode?" No need for that to be answered. Also, the film gave me anxiety, and definitely not the kind that could be relieved by finally seeing the end of the movie. I just felt like I was wasting time of my life! The movie just bugged me more than any other. Over and over again, how John and Sara had kept missing each other by an instant was too much for me. Talk about bad timing.

I find the idea that John Cossack's character, Johnathan and Kate Beckinsale’s character Sara were each dating different people and still let themselves get attached to each other plain scandalous. Truly, I do not find it funny, I find it wrong and that it goes about my morals. The frustration I got from his lying to his wife and going out to find someone else before their wedding day terrible. I guess the only thing I can appreciate is how he called the wedding off before Sara got there. That would have been trashy.
