Why can't a romantic comedy win the Oscar?

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2004)

Easily the best film of the year. A home run, on every level. The clever script,Nora Ephron) and shrewdly not overdone stereotypes are thoroughly entertaining. The chemistry between Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan is electric. A sparkling diamond of a movie, emotionally felt, and uplifting. The prototype for romantic comedy. Kudos to Rob Reiner for weaving this masterpiece. Stunningly touching, and uproariously funny. This film aligns itself with the very best of the Woody Allen oeuvre. Love discovered, lost, and regained, in the big city. It may sound trite, but this film just blows that criticism out of the water. I was truly moved, and uplifted by this glorious movie.
