Description: "Brimming over with style, intelligence and flashing wit" (Rolling Stone), this "splendid and irresistible" (Los Angeles Times) film from director Rob Reiner(American President is one of the best-loved romantic comedies of all time. Featuring dazzling performances from Meg Ryan, Billy Crystal, Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby, exceptional music from Harry Connick Jr., and an Oscar(r)-nominated* screenplay by Nora Ephron, When Harry Met Sally is an "explosively funny" commentary on friendship, courtships - and other hardships - of the modern age (Newsweek)! Will sex ruin a perfect relationship between a man and a woman? that's what Harry (Crystal) and Sally (Ryan) debate during their travels from Chicago to New York. And eleven years and later, they're still no closer to finding the answer. Will these two best friends ever accept that they're meant for each other...or will they continue to deny the attraction that's existed since the first moment When Harry Met Sally? *1989
Amazon.com: Nora Ephron wrote the brisk screenplay for this 1989 romantic comedy, director Rob Reiner made a nicely glossy New York story (very much in a Woody Allen vein) out of it, and Billy Crystal's unstoppable charm made it something really special. Crystal and Meg Ryan play longtime platonic friends who keep dancing around their deeper feelings for one another, and Bruno Kirby and Carrie Fisher are their respective pals who fall in love and get married. Ryan doesn't get a lot of funny material, but her performance is typically alive and intuitive, and she more than holds her own with Crystal's comic motor mouth and sweet sentimentality. Reiner is on comfortable ground, liberated from the burden of making serious statements in the lead-footed manner of subsequent features. --Tom Keogh
SMART & INSIGHTFUL VERY RARE IN A ROMANTIC COMEDY! A rarity in this type of film, it has a brain and it isn't too sappy! Crystal and Ryan are great in this smart and funny romance flick! This is definitely one romantic comedy that both men and women can enjoy. The DVD transfer in very good.
YES! YES! YES!!! Whatever. So this is ranked number six on AFI's Top Ten List of Romantic Comedies? Well it is a funny movie. Not that funny, but funny. I just mean not as funny as apparently most people seem to think it is. I remember going to the theater and seeing WHEN HARRY MET SALLY when it first came out. I went with my much older cousin and his friends. When the scene that this movie is famous for came on I remember my cousin, his girlfriend and all his friends, along with most of the audience, laughing just hystericaly like what they were seeing is the funniest thing ever. And they glanced over at me and I guess I was smiling. I don't know. Maybe I was laughing too. Anyway, after the movie when I was alone and riding around with my cousin he explained to me what it was about and that's when I first heard about what that's about. He explained they feel really good and that guys have them more easily. When girls have them it is more special because it is harder sometimes for them to have one, or for some of them to. I'm paraphrasing but that's about how he put it. Anyway, looking back on how famous that scene was and the "I'll have what she's having line" and how much media attention it got, I can't help but feel people are stupid when I think of a cultural moment like that. It really isn't THAT funny. The movie isn't bad. What happened to Billy Crystal? Who cares.
