I recently re-watched this and it is still thoroughly enjoyable. It has aged really well, and Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal are together an outstanding and hilarious force. Great supporting performances by Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby as…

GREAT 1989 film with excellent performances by Billy Crystal and Megan Ryan filling out the excellent dialog and more written by Nora Ephron. Overall, for me, the film was more a piece of somewhat abstract literature as the various scenes…

With little change, it could be a radio play.

A fantastic movie. I love how the characters evolve over time and keep reconnecting. It has lots of unforgettable scenes... I watched it recently and thoroughly enjoyed it again!

I've never loved this movie and for the longest time I hated it. When I hit my 30s I got to where I liked it, but seeing it again after so long (watched it twice in the span of a week), I realized that I will never love it. Meg Ryan was…

There are no surprises in this film, other than the contemporary vulgar language liberally sprinkled throughout.

Directed by Rob Reiner in 1989, this American romantic comedy depicts a cross-country drive of the title characters. It is a real talkie... talk, talk, talk... The film makes a woman's faked orgasm become well-known, and Katz's…

One of the definitive examples of a great/cheesy romantic comedy.

Nice touch of older actors playing couples on how they met vignettes based on Nora's interviews as main plot jumped forward in time & actors' appearance changed. Director & writer took pains to get the dialogue right especially between…

A romantic comedy about two people falling from extreme dislike, into unlikely friendship, into love as they grow through their separate lives, and find their paths crossing unexpectedly. There is some very funny dialogue, and I was…

one of the reasons why this works is because Nora Ephron wrote the male voices after talking to men like Director Rob Reiner and others about what men think about when dating women. She already had the women parts down. But it is the…

Funny. Romantic. Great dialogue. Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan were terrific. And Carrie Fisher rocks!

Possibly one of the most inane films of all time. Meg Ryan is a pathetic actress and her supposedly famous scene is cringe-inducing. Billy Crystal is wasted here. Ugh in spades.

This is is awful ! ...when I got this NYPL disc home and put this movie in the DVD player...and the screen says: "NOT FORMATTED FOR THIS REGION" !!?? ( Even though it states "Region #1", on the DVD jacket !!?) I have watched a…

This dated film definitely has many punch lines and funny moments. My problem is the two main characters started out to be fairly unlikeable characters. By the end of the film, I still don't like them that much.

A wonderful movie about a man and a woman straddling the line between friendship and attraction, gradually falling in love. Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan are perfectly cast in the lead roles, with terrific supporting backup from Carrie Fisher…

When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. Love!

Great romantic comedy, perfect for a date night. This movie is sure to deliver, very much worth seeing.

A pop culture classic, that supposedly coined (now) classic relationship labels like "high maintenance" and "transitional," or so Wikipedia says. A romantic comedy, yes, but one that I honestly believe brings something appealing to anyone,…
