Serendipity Movie Review 2001

Romance finds Jonathan (Cusack) and Sara (Beckinsale) falling in love one cold New York winter's night but then they part company because Sara believes if it's meant to be, fate will bring them back together. Sara's a twinkling twit. Ten years later both are engaged, but Jon and Sara also become separately convinced that they are destined to be together--if they can find each other again. Lots of near-misses and travel between New York and San Francisco until the inevitable happens. Swoony romanticism and more dippy than serendipitous but done in an expert manner.
