Review Time
Storyline/Characters/Performers: in one way
or another these three components go hand-in-hand as the storyline and the
character developments of our lead partnership of Trager/Cusack and Thomas/Beckinsale
give Serendipity [this means chance] a go; well having said that
Thomas/Beckinsale is more into this kind of thing to begin with whilst
Trager/Cusack comes over as not a free spirit, I hasten to add at this point in
the film these two characters are in two separate relationships. So the
character developments, performances and on-screen chemistry are all good; in
particular our lead partnership of Trager/Cusack and Thomas/Beckinsale [I
should just point out even though I have said lead partnership; they are
roughly together for a segment or a little bit more of this film in total] and
just to finish off this section the pacing is something safe and reliable from
beginning to end.
Art/Comedy: here is a small selection of
the art; there is this ice-skating/skating ring [depending on the time of year]
or these quickly forward rotating scenes watching these clouds move across the
sky or these shadows moving around this large sundial and this band playing.
Moving on to the comedy; here is another small selection involving this
character/performer Bloomingdale's Salesman/Levy [Eugene Levy is synonymous
with the American Pie franchise as Jim's Dad,] but expect comedy when you see
this character/performer; all these things are good.
This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; I had never seen this film until now as I
have already said it is a good film, this is one of those titles that is good
for a romantic night in with your partner and a take away, it doesn't have much
of a repeat viewing factor about it; but having said that if the individual I
was with wanted to watch it or have a romantic night in with someone I would
watch it again.
