Not only do you not think Borat was com...oh.my.god. Not only do you not think Borat was complete genius, now you're telling me that Serendipity is a classic romantic comedy? I'll agree that romantic comedies require that we susped disbelief, that most of them have cheesy set-ups. But sometimes they deliver something extra, like subplots and good character development. In this movie, all those things are missing and the characters are reduced to cardboard cutouts of themselves. I'll have to watch it again to really go in detail about why its sooooo crappy, but I don't have any objections to it because of the premise...its the content that is so crap-tacular. They didn't do enough with the hoakey set-up and so it all feel apart for me...But Nick, as always, a lovely enjoyable blog.

Yes, I want to know what happened to the ex-fiance. Just as I want to know what happened to the ex-fiance in "Titanic." (I don't accept that liar's explanation). I also want to know what happened to the Wizard in "The Wizard of Oz," and I want to know why Chris Klein didn't just vote for himself in "Election." It would have saved all the problems. Plus, George Clooney's more talented half-brother shouldn't have pissed off Ronny Cox in "RoboCop." That's just a bad move, Miguel.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I give this movie three and a half stars. John Cusack was whimsical and engaging, and Kate Beckinsale charms. A new holiday classic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
