Amazingly charming, romantic, and funny.

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2005)

I saw this movie for the first on New Years Day of 2005 (perfect day for this exact film) and thought it was absolutely fantastic. A great film with great actors and a great story to it. I've always heard people say this movie was a fantastic example of a great romantic comedy and have always wanted to, but never got around to seeing it. And I'm so glad I did.
The performance from Meg Ryan is by far one of her best performances I've ever seen. She makes her character come to life and you feel like Sally is real. Same with Billy Crystal. This really was the best performance I've ever seen from him. His acting was extremely good. Ryan and Crystal's on screen chemistry is some of the best I've seen in the romantic film industry. And this whole movie will keep you dying to watch these two amazing people get together.
This movie is brilliantly written and also provides some of the best one liners ever. "All have what shes having.", "Oh, but "baby fish mouth" is sweeping the nation? I hear them talking." and even the practical theme of the film "men and women can never be friends." This movie is great for all people. First of all he humor is amazingly well written. And its also great for the hopeless romantics out there. I still after watching this movie about 10 times since New Years, tear up at the end when Harry says "I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." Possibly the best monologue I've ever heard in a movie. Its really amazing. Everything was well distributed between the comedy and romance so you everyone gets just what they need out of it.
If that doesn't convince you than I don't know what will. But if your in the mood for a great comedy movie, with a dash of romance on the side, then this is your film.
I rate it a 5/5
