One of the best comedies ever

Rating: 9/10 (14 January 2004)

I must admit I do have a soft spot for comedies of this sort (New York, jazzy soundtrack, set around autumn/winter, starring Meg Ryan), but in all honesty this film would appeal to anyone who truly loves cinema.
It's not that I love chick flicks (as they are commonly known by those who don't know). My favourite genres are horror and Chinese action, but there's just something about new york comedies that draw me in.
Both the stars are perfect with Billy crystal in his career best role. always funny, but not often this reserved Crystal makes us like what is essentially 9at least to begin with ) unlikealbe character.
The witty script by Nora Ephron is among her best for comedy (though Sleepless has the better love story)with Reiner perfectly capturing the feeling of the city.
almost perfect comedy 9/10.
