Critics' reviews

"If Hollywood's response to terrorism [Note: this review was written in october 2001] will be to exile harsh reality in favor of the pretty side of life, the result may turn out to look like Serendipity. Does romantic comedy have to come off as sugared stupidity? It does here."

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"'Serendipity' is a throwback to a more innocent era in American life"

Bob Graham: SFgate
"Honestly, it's still pretty hard to resist as a guilty pleasure"

Connie Ogle: New York Post
"A blithe and unapologetic fairy tale about affairs of the heart"

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
