I have watched this movie several times and I am still not tired of it. I absolutely love it. My wish is one day I can be as much of an inspiration to a child as this family was.
What's great about it: The entire movie is excellent
What's not so great: Can't think of anything that isn't great. Its a very good family movie
I listen to this CD everyday. I need to buy one for my car since I know one day I will leave the house without and be very sorry. Or I will leave it in the car! It's just a 'feel good' CD just as the movie is a 'feel good' DVD.
What's great about it: everything, each song is so suited for the movie.
What's not so great: Everything is great so there is NOTHING that isn't great
It's no fortunate accident that fans of Serendipity will enjoy this bonus-packed DVD. The film is presented in anamorphic widescreen 1.85:1 format (all the better to catch the numerous close encounters) with a Dolby Digital 5.1 English or French soundtrack and Spanish subtitles. Sneak previews of the Serendipity soundtrack, Bounce, About Adam, and Bridget Jones's Diary get their commercial play on this disc. The bonus materials are led by ten deleted scenes that can be viewed with or without the director's commentary. A number of enjoyable cuts are found here, including a first kiss between John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale early in the film. A still gallery and story board comparison (the golf scene with Beckinsale and Molly Shannon) give a unique on-the-set perspective. Also included is the theatrical trailer, feature commentary track with director Peter Chelsom,and a Starz/Encore featurette that gives a behind-the-scenes look at the film along with cast and crew interviews. Most interesting is drector Peter Chelsom's on-set diary. The detailed entries make interesting reading and share choice tidbits of information (such as Central Park was plagued with the West Nile Virus just as they were to begin shooting). The only thing missing from this package is a bloopers and outtakes reel. Snippets are shown here and there, but with the comedic talents of Cusack, Shannon, Jeremy Piven, and Eugene Levy, there's sure to be countless laughs left out. Ignoring that unfortunate omission, Serendipity's DVD should leave fans of this fateful romantic comedy with a smile.

I had seen this movie a network channel with commericals and knew I loved it. However, being on a network channel I knew they chop parts out so I was lucky enough to see it on either HBO or Showtime, without commericals. I loved it so much I knew I had to buy it and I'm so happy I did. I watch it all the time and I should order another copy to have on stand by so when I wear the one out I do have I will have a replacement.
What's great about it: The best 'feel' god movie EVER!
What's not so great: There is nothing that isn't so great. It's a wonderful fun filled movie.
P.J. Hogan's 2002 made-for-cable comedy Unconditional Love comes to DVD from New Line Cinema with a widescreen transfer. The English-language soundtrack is offered in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround or 2.0 Stereo. Closed captions and English subtitles are available. The only special features are deleted scenes and a trailer. This is a pretty good DVD release for a film that has only ever appeared on the Starz! network.

This is a movie that starts off with a message to anyone watching it and continues with several good messages until the end. It will make you laugh and cry. I love it as does my 77 year old Mom and my husband who watched it while in Iraq. I highly recommed this movie to everyone, the actors do a great job and the singing is by far the best. Only regret I have is not buying the sound track.
What's great about it: Just an overall good funny movie with an excellent message if you look for it.
