Where to Watch Serendipity
Serendipity Ratings & Reviews
- Christopher ParkDecember 10, 2025I love Kate. She's a sining, genuine star of a beauty. John is the Gen X every-man, and always a pleasure to watch, and an hilarious voice of my heneration, so It was satisfying, and not to mention unerstated, sweet to watch this quiet little gem. It's set mainly in New York, inceentally one of my favouriate places, so it hit all my smiles and reminiscences perfectly for me. Di I mention that Kate is utterly, charming and beautiful?
- Peter BickfordMay 9, 2026The two leads are perfectly cast and effortlessly charming, but there's no denying how forced the movie feels--the very opposite of the aspirational title. Couple that with their mistreatment of their own fiancees on the way toward resolving the plot, and you've got a seemingly perfect romcom that can never shed the weight of its own premise to truly soar.
