Right Up There As One Of The Best

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2009)

Spoilers In the category of Romantic Comedy, most movies do not get to an average above 5 stars. However, this one hit 7.7 stars and that represents the highest rated Romantic Comedy I ever seen here on IMDb. I read the negative reviews and many relate to typical comments regarding the Genre - Romantic Comedy - Predictable, Unreal. I think the Genre of Romantic Comedy will always disappoint some moviegoers. I go into a romantic comedy knowing we will not see a surprise ending and/or a documentary. Also the movie drags at many points because they show all the conflicts that kept Harry and Sally single.
That said, I rate this very highly. There are numerous comparisons in this forum to Sleepless in Seattle, but this movie's climax is far stronger then that movie's climax. This movie had a perfect climax, which showcased a crescendo of sound timed with the climax to a story. The constant interview of Harry alone and Sally maybe keeps some guessing about the outcome, but you know you are gonna get the standard Rom-Com climax, anyway. That said, it still was a good thing when it came and the way it came about.
