Wonderful. Simply wonderful.

Rating: 9/10 (3 March 2000)

This is one of the best. While being similar to the standard Meg Ryan fare, this one stands out above all the others. Easily Reiner's best script, superb detail-oriented action, excellent comic timing, and chemistry make Harry Burns and Sally Albright one of the best screen romantic couples in the 80's and 90's. Carrie Fisher gives easily her best performance ("You're right, you're right, I know you're right") and Bruno Kirby is strong in his supporting role - Harry's best friend and author. "I'm a writer, I know dialogue, and that's particularly harsh" and "Nobody's ever quoted me back to me" have become staples of the professional writer's repertoire.
