VHS Movie Reviews of When Harry Met Sally...
Movie Review: Great Service
Summary: 5 Stars
Very quick service. I recieved in about 3 days or so. Would definately use again.Movie Review: great movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This version of this classic is very good. I used it in class and students who were born when this movie premiered still seem to identify with the ideas in this story. It's worth watching, but not with kids as nearly all of the conversation is adult in nature. Movie Review: A movie to fall in love with time and time again...
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time Harry met Sally there was tension and they parted with a slight animosity. The second time Harry met Sally he didn't remember her. The third time Harry met Sally he not only remembered her, but the two struck up a friendship that would carry them through some ups and downs before; well, you know how these types of stories go. Yes, `When Harry Met Sally' may be a predictable romantic comedy, and we may know how the story is going to end, but it's the getting there that makes all the difference in the world, and `When Harry Met Sally' makes it a point to get there beautifully.
Harry is determined that men and women could never be friends because the sensual tension would always get in the way. This prevents him from staying in touch with Sally but over the years, as Harry goes through a divorce and Sally goes through a bad breakup, the two reconnect and form a bond that proves stronger than any relationship they've ever had before. Their best friends Marie and Jess, who just so happen to have fallen in love and gotten married themselves, try to push the two of them together, since they feel as though they belong together, but Harry and Sally don't want to ruin the great friendship they have achieved.
There may not be anything overly special about the premise of `When Harry Met Sally', but maybe there doesn't have to be. The film may be predictable and generic but it is perfectly done. This film should be the model for all other romcom's to follow closely.
This is like the Jesus of romantic comedies.
The acting is superb on all fronts; Crystal, Ryan, Fisher and Kirby all delivering Oscar worthy performances (I hate it when the Academy gets things so wrong). Billy Crystal is not one of my favorite comedians, and while I find him humorous I have never found him overly noteworthy. This is probably his finest most fulfilled performance to date. He is not only witty but touching and heartwarming. He even makes the corniest of dialog seem sincere. Meg Ryan is such an adorable creature, and an utter revelation as Sally. Not only should she have been nominated, but she should have won the Oscar for her genuinely charming portrayal of Sally Albright. She reminded me of Keaton's turn in `Annie Hall', very natural and commanding. Carrie Fisher is wonderful as Marie, the relationship disaster, and Bruno Kirby is stellar as Jess, Harry's right hand man. Both performers truly understand the meaning behind being supporting actors and they elevate each scene they are in without ever taking away from the stars around them.
In the end I must say that `When Harry Met Sally' is near perfect, and when it comes to romantic comedies its really only second to `Annie Hall' in its perfection (unless you are one who considers `Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' a romantic comedy). This is a truly sincere and real film that many can relate to and everyone will enjoy. With a top notch script that embellishes its clich?s and a top notch cast that elevates their material, this is a wonderful film that you don't want to miss.
Movie Review: SMART & INSIGHTFUL VERY RARE IN A ROMANTIC COMEDY!
Summary: 4 Stars
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. Movie Review: YES! YES! YES!!! Whatever.
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
Summary of When Harry Met Sally...
"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? *1989Nora 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
