It's about living on the outskirts of love and fearing the commute.

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2002)

What makes this movie click is the fine comedic actress Meg Ryan whose every facial posture perfectly punctuates her lines. How any man can walk away from her, as Billy Crystal does in the opening scene, is difficult to fathom. I'm laughing out loud many times, an oddity for me. Such perfect retorts, such flashing wit...and Crystal's and Ryan's genuine intelligence made the lines live. I've read a critique saying that no woman would DO what ryan does in the famous restaurant-orgasm scene. Not true. I dated a woman who would. She got away. Life does not duplicate art. If you haven't seen it, you've missed one of the best romantic comedies of all time.
