Just great, barely perfect!

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 2006)

Giving this movie a nine out of ten is almost a crime if not for other great films. It's the perfect essence of American comedies: I'm not perfect, my life is sometimes a real mess, but, hey!, there is still something out there to smile at. It's full of prejudices, it's politically incorrect (for instance, Sally acting an orgasm in a family dinner, and a woman asking for the same dish!), and, of course, the way destiny crashes right in the face of characters is plain hilarious, just perfect!. Cristal, Ryan and Hanks are the best ever in the genre! They should do something together sometime. Anyway, as I said, that "barely perfect" is just a hard thing to say, specially because the other ones are "Sleepless in Seattle" and "You've got Mail", and for some reason i'd rate them the same. It's just the way things seem not to match, you got the worst luck over the Earth and... BUM! everything goes the very right way: you realize you are a moron,but a lucky one; you learn to face and deal with things and issues. Yeap, that's something to learn from.
