Old favorite never gets old.

Rating: Null/10 (8 June 2002)

I saw "When Harry Met Sally" in the theater upon release back in 1989. I remember it well, I was single, had a date with a school teacher from Kingwood, nice lady but we just weren't right for each other. The orgasm scene was a bit embarrassing with someone I hardly knew.
Anyway, I bought the DVD after it was recently released, and watched it again this week. Much of it was fresh as the first viewing 13 years ago, but of course I knew that eventually, after years of meeting and parting, they would get together. Billy Crystal was asked recently about a sequel and he replied, "It would be interesting to do a film about Harry and Sally 15 years after the first one ended." Maybe Meg Ryan will get the word and they will.
I give the film a high rating. The story is simple, and in many cases trite, but Crystal's goofiness and Ryan's perfect portrayal of Sally, "a high maintenance woman who thinks she is low maintenance, the worse kind", is I think her best product so far. Their interplay is what makes the move hold your interest for the duration. Plus, there's some clever writing hidden in there too.
