Genuine and Fun

Rating: 7/10 (4 December 2011)

I very much enjoyed this romantic comedy. It's amazing how you meet people in life that become a big influence. I notice how a lot of the romantic comedies of today have been influenced by this movie. The brief true couples part reminded me of the ending of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith", as well as the brief twin interviews in "Jack and Jill". I love that; it makes the movie all the more interesting and funny, but mainly entertaining. This is another one of those movies I'm ashamed of not seeing earlier in my life; I just can't believe I put such a wonderful movie off for this long. Harry reminded me a little of myself when he explained his logical observations. It's hilarious because he comes across as obnoxious to people on the receiving end. Sally is genuinely high maintenance when it comes to ordering food (also like myself). But the chemistry the two have is perfect. You can tell they're meant for each other; especially when they hate each other. Most 21st century romantic comedies lack meaning (besides sex) and originality. They're out of ideas after all this time I guess. This is a truly brilliant film fun to watch again and again.
