Every day this month we are taking a look at a different rom com everyday to celebrate that it is a leap year in 2024 and valentines day also being in the same month.

Day 27 – Serendipity

If there is one thing that is tradition for me personally is watching certain films at Christmas and it is usually While You Were Sleeping and this film.

Here is the synopsis:

A couple search for each other years after the night they first met, fell in love, and separated, convinced that one day they’d end up together.

This film is incredibly cheesy and I suppose some would say it’s bad but I really like it. There are parts of it that are typical romance films but it gives you a sense of hope at times and makes you feel pure escapism.

There is something incredibly nineties about this film, I only discovered this film or started to appreciate it when I was at university and since then I started to really enjoy it.

It is one of those films you can only watch once a year as it is quite cheesy but I love it for that reason. It was only a few years ago I realised that the ice rink at the end isn’t actually ice – it’s so weird and random I didn’t realise before.

Anyway, if you want a film that is on the cheese scale this is it but it also creates hope for those who are hopeless romantics.
