Can
two friends sleep together and still love each
other in the morning?
This is a
film that has held up much better than I
actually expected. As directed by Rob Reiner,
it's a sweet film with a simple story...indeed,
my only wish would be for a more imaginative
script...yet, the charm, humor and energy of its
stars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan really carry
the film tremendously.
I enjoyed the dialogue, especially when it's
strictly between Ryan and Crystal. I'm not going
to give a great recounting of this film...it
seems unnecessary. Nearly everyone is,
minimally, familiar with this film. It's a great
date movie, a great friend movie and a great
movie for singles, too.

The best
romantic comedy of all time... Period!
I've seen it a dozen times and I'll see it a
dozen more. At one point during the film,
Harry and Sally stay up late with each other on
the phone while simultaneously watching
"Casablanca" on cable TV. There are only a
handful of classic films that would work just as
well on a phone date... "When Harry Met Sally"
is one of them. It is also the film that
has had me searching for a wagon-wheel coffee
table for nearly 20 years!
