Breath of fresh air

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2016)

I'm convinced that everyone should see "When Harry Met Sally" just for the orgasm scene. I can assure you it's worth sitting through a romantic comedy for (on display here is meg Ryan's considerable charm and comedic talents), and it's a classic piece of cinema for a reason. And speaking of romantic comedies, here's one that defies the ridiculously formulaic nature of the genre as it's become in recent years; intelligent, accessible, and even though the relationship material has been mined by myriad sitcoms over the last twenty years, its voice still seems fresh. The dialogue's got wit, and it works well given this well-chosen cast.
Even if this isn't doing it for you, settle in for a great Harry Connick Jr. soundtrack.
7/10
