The irresistible casting of John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale highlights this predictable romantic comedy, which combines the romantic yearning of An Affair to Remember and the New York charm of You've Got Mail. It all begins "a few years ago," when New Yorker Jonathan (Cusack) meets Brit beauty Sara (Beckinsale). They share a few perfect hours together before parting ways, leaving future encounters to her quirky obsession with fate. "A few years later," they're about to marry their respective fiances (reluctantly, of course), and urgently hoping for destiny to bring them back together. Under the casual direction of Peter Chelsom (barely recovering from Town & Country), this starry-eyed romance offers no surprises, but it has a comforting familiarity, made warmer by the easy chemistry of the leads, with obligatory best-friend support by Molly Shannon and long-time Cusack pal Jeremy Piven. It's hokey, but die-hard romantics are sure to be forgiving. --Jeff Shannon

 #1 Movie May 16, 2009
D. Kikuchi (Northeast USA)
This is by far my favorite movie! I can't say anymore. You just have to see it. It's that great! Enjoy!
Suprisingly Good April 10, 2009
Oscar Emerson (Galesferry, CT)
I'm not the biggest chick flick fan, but this was rather good. If your girl wants you to make a night with this movie, trust me it is worth it and you will have fun. Plus score a few brownie points.
Delightful surprise February 12, 2009
Helen L. Davis (New Jersey)
I have just recently become a John Cusack fan and that is what made me select this DVD. Having seen Kate Beckinsale before, I was struck this time by how abslutely beautiful she was. I did have a little problem with her game playing at the beginning, ie: not giving her name and making fate be the decider as to their future. Other than th at, I thoroughly enjoy John's obcessive search and the supporting cast was wonderful. I recommend watching this on a cold winter night, with a glass of wine and someone significant with you.
 It Was Fate! December 12, 2008
Van Hamlin (Fort Lauderdale, FL)
This is a backdoor Christmas movie where everyone lives happily ever after, I guess. My wife saw this on TV and wanted it. I watched it with her. John Cusack & Kate Beckinsale are both attractive and develop good chemistry with their sidekicks but there are too few scenes of their one night romance to validate the premise of the movie, a compulsive belief that they had met THE PERSON but let them slip away.
Hey, my wife liked it - I am her hero for buying it; I hope! She held my hand. I felt pretty good about that! GUYS!!! Do yourself a favor if your need a chick flick for your library of movies, this ain't bad.
Great Love Story December 1, 2008
Donna J. Martin (Basketball Mom)
If you are looking for a great love story where two souls are destined to meet, then this is a movie for you. I have seen it many times and still love it. It's very serendipitous, you may have to watch the show to under what that really means.
