When it comes to romantic comedy, John Cusack is da man. Serendipity is a delightful romantic comedy about chance meetings and fate. It’s not realistic, it’s not complicated, and it’s not meant to plumb great depths of human emotion; it just gives you a sweet little slice of romance. (Also, the world totally needs to see more of Jeremy Piven.)
Oh, Martin, you discovered one of my guilty pleasures: Serendipity. I haven’t deconstructed exactly why this light-as-a-souffle film is better than your average rom-com, but it is. I suspect that Cusak and Piven are it. The scene in the warehouse with them and Eugene Levy is hilarious. I agree about Piven–more,more,more!
