When Harry Met Sally... Audience Reviews

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
jennifercallow What else can be said about this film other than it truly is a masterpiece. So many great moments, which I won't spoil for anyone who hasn't seen the film. The writing, cast and story are all phenomenal. And I love how Sally's quarks play off Harry's character. It's a really great dynamic and one can't help but fall in love with the two through the course of the film.
oOoBarracuda When Harry Met Sally is one of those films that I was in no way prepared for, which is my favorite kind of new favorite film to watch. Having never seen a Rob Reiner film, I wasn't sure of his style or technique or how he approached his subjects. I quickly learned through his 1989 feature that he provides a very real look at the lives of people in relationships. When Harry Met Sally tells the tale of a chance meeting between two strangers who then continue to reappear in each other's lives. The way in which Reiner exposes the truths of finding someone you can best tolerate in a partner, rather than the person that makes your heart turn to mush is a brilliant grasp of how to illustrate the human condition. Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan star in the titular roles and provide the brilliant illustration of everyday, flawed human beings often sensationalized for cinema.Sally (Meg Ryan) agrees to give her friend's boyfriend, Harry (Billy Crystal) a ride to New York upon their graduation from the University of Chicago. After a long car ride of sharing all the quirky details that make up their existence, completely uninhibited since they are unavailable to each other. After the journey to New York is complete, the two part ways not thinking much of each other. Harry and Sally keep bumping into each other over the years as their lives intersect. They finally decide to maintain a friendship, and quickly become friends and confidants. As they see each other through each successive stage of their lives, it becomes increasingly more difficult to watch the other date. Neither of the two has ever shared such intimate details of their lives, their hopes, fears, and dreams with another person so it only makes sense that the two fall in love. Two people with such neuroses in some ways make a perfect match, but in other ways are their own biggest obstacles in love.A film that looks and feels this much like Annie Hall is obviously going to rank highly on my list. I had begun writing about the similarities this film shared with Annie Hall, but I soon gave up because there are just too many. The dialogue is fantastic and the entire film is so well-written. Even though the famous line "I'll have what she's having." has worked its way into the American lexicon, it loses nothing when it is spoken. Oftentimes, with a line so popular, the audience member has the "roll-your-eyes-"oh" moment when it's spoken; but that's not the case with When Harry Met Sally because the script is so perfect. Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan were perfect in their roles, with just enough chemistry to make their unconventional friendship work. Despite how great Meg Ryan was in the role, and also despite the fact that the fate of the universe wouldn't allow it, I couldn't help but think all throughout the film how perfect Gilda Radner (R.I.P.) would have been in the role opposite Crystal. Anyway, When Harry Met Sally is a brilliant look at the lives of real people, and an exceptional film that has already become a new favorite.
tapio_hietamaki Touted as the best romantic comedy out there, 'When Harry Met Sally' indeed works. It covers a long time period and shows us a changing relationship. It's really about how weird human relationships are and how strange routes we can take to happiness. This theme is emphasized by the interviews with married couples that are interspersed into the movie.We also get to witness how people themselves change. When we meet the protagonists, they are young, confident and full of ideas. Some of those ideas go on to be dispelled by time, and some new ones take wing. So it's about personal growth.The scene where Meg Ryan fakes an orgasm in the middle of a crowded diner is an absolute blast.
Anuj Kumar I used to watch thriller movie. I rarely watch comedy movies but the ones I have watched I will rate it third in my all time comedy movies after Forrest Gump and me, myself and Irene. This movie is not just about comedy but also about the question "Can two people of opposite sex be friends only?". I do believe that yes they can. The movie is also about love and marriage. "Divorce" is not common in India as it is in US. But still "Love" always thrives over "Marriage". As you can't be happy with a person you are not in love with. As depicted in the movie as well that it is all about love and not about sex only. If you really love someone you will always want them to be happy. This part is perfectly demonstrated in the movie and I loved that about the movie.
