When Harry Met Sally

Rating: 7/10 (7 June 2001)

This is an enjoyable film, but certainly not great. It is very much indebted to Woody Allen. The similarities to Annie Hall abound and there are similarities to other Allen films as well. While that in itself may or may not detract from the film's greatness, it simply does not compare to Allen's work. Annie Hall, for example, is much more witty and original, the writing is better, and it has greater depth. *WARNING, SPOILER in the next sentence: This is a basic Hollywood re-work, complete with the happy ending Annie Hall did not have... Why spend so much time talking about Woody in a review of this film? A. Other people have already given enough synopsis of this film and B. it owes that much to his work... That said, this is a good film - light hearted entertainment - but not anything more.
