It’s a perfect movie, the pinnacle of Meg Ryan’s career, and the only thing I think about when thinking about Billy Crystal.

| Original Score: A+ | Jul 25, 2024

Enhanced by a dreamy mood and a quintessentially American score, When Harry Met Sally has some deft, witty observations about the nature of male-female relationships in our time.

| Jul 12, 2024

Rob Reiner's direction is feather-light, precisely paced and with fine appreciation of the sharp New Yorkisms of the dialogue.

| Jul 12, 2024

Reiner seems to share his characters’ narcissism. Or at least, like Harry, he tends to shy from troublesome emotions.

| Jul 12, 2024

Reiner and Ephron deftly thread Casablanca through Harry and Sally's on-again, off-again relationship.

| Jul 12, 2024

Anyone with even the vaguest knowledge of everything Reiner and Ephron have done thus far knows that When Harry Met Sally is their baby all the way -- wall-eyed sentimental ending and all.

| Jul 12, 2024

Despite a troubling superficiality, When Harry met Sally... delivers something rare for a summer movie -- a bright, intelligent, timely and funny comedy of adult manners.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 12, 2024

When Harry Met Sally... excels in its dead-on representation of gentle, intimate, everyday truths.

| Jul 12, 2024

Such culturally deft variations on familiar themes help make Harry Met Sally more substantial -- and enjoyable -- than the basic witty romance that it might have become.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 12, 2024

When Harry Met Sally... is pure movie magic.

| Jul 12, 2024

A well-written and well-directed movie with excellent performances from both Crystal and Ryan.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 12, 2024

A witty adult comedy whose dissection of sexual mores and relationships between the sexes manages to be delightfully old-fashioned and utterly contemporary in one stroke.

| Jul 12, 2024

Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal and a script laced with wit and occasional wisdom are not enough to make When Harry Met Sally more than a romantic comedy with a passable ability to raise a few chuckles.

| Jul 11, 2024

Despite its flaws, I like When Harry Met Sally... a great deal. It has charm and wit and style, three ingredients too often missing from movies and more important, it's mostly very funny.

| Jul 11, 2024

The things Nora Ephron's script has to say about '80s relationships are so insightful, so direct, they demand attention.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 11, 2024

It succeeds admirably -- not only making you laugh but also providing a sweet romantic refuge. It makes you want to believe in romance again, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary.

| Jul 11, 2024

The movie is a lengthy series of gags, most of which revolve around public embarrassment.

| Jul 11, 2024

Reiner and company have come up with a wonderful concoction, a humorous, perceptive and completely engaging movie about the possibilities of love and commitment in the '80s.

| Jul 11, 2024

Ephron's dialogue is nothing but platitudes, aphorisms and epigrams.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 11, 2024

it's a good movie, and literate in a way that's always welcome, but you come away simply entertained and not enlightened by any new perspective.
