The epitome of the Yuppie Romantic Comedy

Rating: Null/10 (6 June 2001)

I really enjoy this movie. It's "cute", Meg Ryan is "cute", the story is "cute". A lot of "awwwwww" moments. Little to jar the nerves or expectations. This movie is set solidly in the late 80s early 90s Yuppie era and the symbols are all here. Everyone is highly successful in their chosen fields, they all dress well, look well and share witty repartee at every turn. Yuppie symbols are seen as well, the principles shop at "The Sharper Image", drink a lot of coffee and Evian water and get invited to all the best parties. It will rank as a great romantic romantic comedy of the early 90s like "It Happened One Night" typified the 1930s, "It's A Wonderful Like, the 1940s, "Annie Hall", the 1970s and so on.
The movie looks very nice, the seasons are well represented and color coordinated. The fall and winter scenes are just gorgeous.

Recommended if in the mood for love and romance and don't mind a little sentimentality.
