Still, neither can shake the need to give fate one last chance to reunite them. Jon enlists the help of his best man to track down the girl he can't forget starting at the store where they met. Sara asks her new age musician fiance for a break before the wedding and, with her best friend in tow, flies from California to New York hoping destiny will bring her soulmate back.

Rated PG for a scene of sexuality, and for brief language. Did you know Edit.

So taking them out worked fine in regards to the CGI. I remember there being a big scramble to take it out. Harvey wanted to take out the Twin Towers. And I got the impression that it was not negotiable. He may have been right at the time but in the big picture, no.

I was very mixed about it. In hindsight, I really do wish we had not taken them out. The movie was a love letter to New York and it would be all the more so if they remained. But there was no discussion to be had with Harvey about this. And because I'm an absolute obsessive perfectionist in terms of anything technical with the film, I did supervise the digital process of erasing the towers.

But I will never forget that premiere because it felt like we could laugh again. It was a really wonderful night. But leading up, did you and the cast feel it was a good idea to have a premiere in New York City while lower Manhattan was still smoldering?

I was apprehensive, no question. And John and Kate were very worried about appearing on a red carpet smiling and dressed up. It all felt it might be insensitive, but it proved to be real joy. We can live and laugh. Did you ever get the feeling that Harvey was mad at Kate for not dressing up? She has since said that Harvey berated her for not dressing more revealing at the premiere. I don't remember that. I'm looking at what she wore, this beautiful all-white pantsuit. It never crossed my mind because to me she looks dolled up here.

She always does. I don't think Harvey was justified in saying she should have dressed up more. I will say that. But I do remember she was worried. We all were apprehensive of whether this was in good taste or not. Why do you think this movie didn't become the beloved rom-com it is now until it hit DVD and cable? It had a very good opening weekend, exceeded expectations. But since it's been insane. I did a movie in Italy recently, "Security" — over there all they want to talk about is "Serendipity.

It's the balance between the man and woman. They have mirror problems: marrying the so-called perfect partner and realizing they can't. There were a lot of films in the early s — and I said this back then — they were sexist. This idea of frat boy behaves really badly, shit hits the fan in act two, then all of act three is him apologizing to the beautiful blonde. That was the laziness of romantic comedies in the early s and in some ways "Serendipity" was the apex.

I don't think there should ever be a "Serendipity" sequel, but have you ever tried to do a different rom-com story with John and Kate? We have talked about it and I would be very happy to do it. It actually has come close a couple of times, doing a film with them together, but recently nothing is in the works. But, yes, I really don't think there should be a sequel to "Serendipity.

They decide to spend the day together and share a romantic and fun evening that leaves Jonathan begging for Sara's number. Sara, who believes heavily in fate and destiny tests their fate in several ways, including burying her number in a book and selling it to a used book shop.

If Jonathan was meant to find it, he would. Years pass, and the two haven't seen each other since that day, with both scheduled to marry other people in a close time frame.

Will they meet up again? I loved this movie. Although it's frustrating cause I know after watching it they could have more than easily edited it to a PG film, but the characters were all very likeable and the chemistry between Cusack and Beckinsale was perfect. While events sometimes became frustrating, this was balanced out nicely by plenty of humor and light-hearted moments. But of course, good ole "reliable" Hollywood must mess up a good movie with even the smallest or shortest occurrences of objectionable content.

Before I go into detail about content, however, I just want to touch a little more on the story and overall presentation and feel of the film. The thing that made this movie work so well, was pretty much how sweet and often innocent the film presented itself. When the main characters aren't providing humorous or sweet moments, their separate best friends aid in lightening the mood and generating a chuckle from the audience.

And although some may find the whole 'fate' plot ridiculous or maybe even offensive, it came across as simply a sweet romantic story and not a soapbox for any new age thinking. While Sara's best friend works for a new age shop, in a conversation with Sara she reveals to her that she finds it to be all ridiculous herself.

God was only mentioned once in the film, used in a positive note through the popular phrase, "when God closes a door, He opens a window.
