when harry met sally they made a timeless classic

Rating: Null/10 (14 June 2003)

One of the greater things about this movie is the reality it, at the very least aspires to. Harry, the leading male is based in no small part on Director Reiner while writer Ephron gives basis for Sally. Of course, Woody Allen is the king of the genre, but he has one flaw: his relationships are his relationships and while memorable and fun to experience are still his to call his own. The wonder of When Harry met Sally, besides how wonderful it is, is how generic it is. This could have been any man, any woman. The problems are universal. It was a cornerstone and remains one of the greatest bibles to the relationship, conquering issues and questions no greater than "can a man and woman just be friends," and "what do we want" both as humans and individual men and women; a movie which changed the way men and women think, act, and date, to this day. Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan are the perfect pair with chemistry, such chemisry, watching them act is treat enough. But the movie takes the cake and it is sweet. The mixings of Reiner and Academy Award Nominated Ephron cook up a timeless classic. You'll laugh, you may cry, you'll think, hopefully learn something, and laugh again. A-
