The Perfect RomCom

Rating: 6/10 (5 May 2004)

The primary purpose of a film is to entertain. If it happens to make you think then, so much the better. When Harry met Sally will certainly entertain, although you'll probably not need to do too much in the thinking department. This film is a classic of it's genre and it has certainly inspired many other films since it's release. It's almost certainly true that Ryan and Crystal were forever typecast in roles similar to Harry and Sally.
The story follows the slowly simmering relationship of Harry and Sally played out over a decade from an unpromising start during the pairs move from Chicago to New York. It's a very warm film that promotes the concept that opposites attract. 7/10/
