Fun, But Too Much Like a Romantic Comedy

Rating: 6/10 (23 April 2015)

Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Meg Ryan) have known each other for years, and are very good friends, but they fear sex would ruin the friendship.
This film has become iconic, in part for the scene of Sally "faking it", and for its bigger question: can a man and a woman be strictly friends? The answer is one that is open to debate, but no movie is better known for tackling the subject than this one is.
And does it answer the question? Well, you have to watch the movie. We cannot give that away. But, unfortunately, despite being a Rob Reiner comedy, it tends to get a bit too close to the "romantic comedy" (no doubt because of Nora Ephron's script). This may make it more divisive and less enjoyable a watch for men.
