The best dialog in romantic comedies!!

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2005)

Don't look! Just listen. It'll work. Of course you can enjoy watching it as well. But if you think Billy Crystal is not handsome enough to play a leading role in romantic comedies, or if you think Meg Ryan is still so cute to make you feel sick, it'd be better for you to listen to the movie with your eyes closed. Because the dialog is the best part of the movie, which is witty, piercing and memorable. The cast did a wonderful job in the dialog. Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal seemed to be mismatched together at first. But soon you'll find that they are not only making a miraculous harmony but also enhanced the quality of the dialog itself. Billy Crystal especially makes you giggle or laugh with his well-known sense of humor. The supporting cast is also appropriate. In their conversations you hardly find flowery words. They are always dry and blunt, and it makes this movie different from other mainstream sweet romantic comedies. And the screenplay is also good. "Men and women can never be friends." This topic keeps appealing to you throughout the dialog, which is really sensible and you can really identify yourself with the characters. Don't you think it's nice to have someone, who you believed was your best friend for a long time, turns out to be the one you really really love?
