The Best Romantic Comedy Of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (20 September 2009)

When I started watching this movie for the first time, I had no expectations at all. After watching the first ten minutes of the movie, I was hooked - like never before.
The movie delivers a story about a friendship that through the years grows into something else. Sounds like your typical Rom Com - it isn't. The reason this movie rises above all others is simple. It has the full package. The cast is perfect, the dialogue is funny and razor sharp, the plot is engaging, smart and believable, and it just offers a fresh and endearing story of love.
The dialogue is so sharp and the context of the conversations so engaging, it really gets your attention. The movie debates if men and women can have a friendship without any sexual attention from one side or the other. And it really makes you think about it, and that to me is one of the rare treats this film alone offers.
When it comes to acting, it is superb. Meg Ryan is perfect as uptight yet endearing young woman and Billy Crystal is beyond words as a witty and cynical man that he in the movie is. He outshines your typical handsome male lead any day. Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby are great in supporting roles.
Over all this is the most enjoyable movie you ever come across, especially if romantic movies are your cup of coffee(I don't like tea). This movie is truly the king of it's genre. To me it will always be the movie to which I shall compare any romantic comedy I watch. Watch it.
