When Harry Met Sally... Customer Reviews (49 - 51 of 61 Reviews)

ALL LOVE TO MEG RYAN
When oh when will this title be available on DVD? One of the most successful and moving romantic comedies in the last 20 years(there really haven't been that many after Annie Hall), it really deserves to be released immediately.

The movie works so well because mainly of the writing by Nora Ephron. I am not a huge fan of the recent Ephron-directed romantic comedies-a little too sticky sweet for my taste. Harry & Sally have just enough cynicism to want me to stay with them for two hours.

I wanted to take care of Sally(Meg Ryan) and hang out with Harry(Billy Crystal). They said the smart, funny things that we all wish we could come up with on the spot. And they fell in love over a ten-year period. So simple yet so brilliant. Falling in love with your best friend is the ultimate, and it doesn't happen very often. This film, although the nostalgic music has been ripped off by nearly movie for the past ten years, is a classic.....and I didn't even mention the famous scene in the deli.

Reiner, Crystal & Ryan serve up a Classic!!!
It can be hard to find a movie in which both men and women can find something to enjoy. WHEN HARRY MET SALLY is one of those rare romantic-comedies that has romance to spare, but also has just enough of an edge to keep it from being overly sappy. It also has the courage of it's convictions in exploring the differences between men & women and how they view relationships with the opposite sex. The chemistry between Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal is spot-on, while Rob Reiner directs with a sure hand. The hilarious deli scene alone is worth seeing this movie. The DVD is solid with a great documentary with recent interviews of Reiner and Crystal, as well as deleted scenes. The screen commentary with Reiner is less effective as he covered many points better in the documentary. Overall though, this is a GREAT movie for Valentine's Day, or ANY romantic occasion. Highly recommended.

It Had to Be You
This movie has been a favorite of mine back in highschool when I first saw the film either on HBO or Television. It also has personal meaning as well, not in the romantic way as some might have the film in their lives but just in a fun eventful personal way.
The movie is about the single life, dating, and the age old question "Can woman and men just be friends?" The movie stars my personal favorites Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal who are perfectly paired up together in this film. Meg plays Sally who's I guess the more positive, healthier (speaking from the film of course) of the two where as Billy is completely different he's deep and depressed. They meet each other on the trip to New York City where they want their lives to start after college. Then ironically keep meeting a couple years later...the final time they meet he's seperated and she and her boyfriend break up. The movie continues to go into the question, in a way its a hopeful movie for the romantics and other words it could give relationships like this a false impression as Nora Ephron explains in the Documentary of the Film. But nonetheless its a hopeful and very cute romantic comedy. It also stars the wonderful Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby. Who are great as Sally and Harry's best friends in the movie. Its fun romantic and witty. And great for both men and woman I believe. It'll be up to you to decide if woman and men can be just friends :)
The soundtrack is great. It's all performed by Harry Connic Jr. to give it the classic touch. With the hit tune "It Had to be You." And many more classic songs.
The DVD has tons of goodies. I'll ignore the fact that it doesn't have a full screen selection as well. But let's move on it's got a great behind the scene's documentary fully on how the idea was scripted, when people came on board such as Nora Ephron, Meg Ryan, Billy Crystal and so on. It goes through who had the idea for what, and how each of them relates to the characters they play. To even how the music was picked for the film and so on. They also have the movie trailer and trailers for other movies by Rob R. as well as the music video to "It Had to be You" With Harry Connic Jr., Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan. There's also commentary by Rob R., Billy Crystal, Carrie Fisher and cast and crew which I still have yet to view and go through but I can't wait. This will always be my first classic romantic comedy and how I came to adore Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal. I'm sure both men and woman will love this movie :)
