This is easily the best romantic comedy of the last 50 years. The performances by Ryan and Crystal are the best work they have ever done. Fantastically written by Nora Ephron, and brilliantly directed by Rob Reiner, this film is something that every man and every woman must see. It attacks an age old dilemma- Can friends become more than friends? Before marriage, most people have friends that they are secretly, or not so secretly, in love with. this movie explores the idea of friends taking a relationship to the next level. With supporting roles from Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby, and a soundtrack from Harry Connick, Jr. that could not be better, It is- all a once- a great comedy, a fantastic date movie, a terrific 'chick flick', a good movie to cry with and a great movie to laugh with. This is one of the few films that has it all. You will find yourself loving and hating and caring about all the characters. There are scenes that rank among the best in film history- Meg Ryan's fake 'O' scene being the most famous. And look for Rob Reiner's Mother as the woman who delivers the line "I'll have what she's having."
Don't miss this film.
