Serendipity

The meaning of the word Serendipity is of course explained in the movie but one is apt to forget it after the movie ends as one is not lucky enough to encounter such fortunate instances in real life. From the dictionary

ser·en·dip·i·ty Audio pronunciation of "serendipity" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (srn-dp-t)
n. pl. ser·en·dip·i·ties
  1. The faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident.
  2. The fact or occurrence of such discoveries.
  3. An instance of making such a discovery.

The movie by far is a stretch of such fortunate accidents but goes slightly further. It was one of these movies that was released during the holiday season and sort of remained there. The utterly ridiculous happen and they are called miracles, fate and the like. Not even a "feel good" movie than anything else. One can watch it, I suppose, if not for anything else, just for the thrill of watching a movie for the first time or if one likes Kate Beckinsale.
