Well worth a watch, as anticipated.
'When Harry Met Sally…' is one of those films that I've heard a tonne about but without finding out anything tangible about the plot, the only thing in that regard that I knew was the Katz's Delicatessen location - not even the full scene, just the famous quote (out of context) from Estelle Reiner. Of course as a romcom drama you know mostly what you're gonna get, but this does have more to it in fairness; big fan of the time jumps, e.g.
Billy Crystal is great value throughout, amusing and even touching at moments. Same goes for Meg Ryan, naturally, who I know of only by name; I never remember her face for some odd reason. Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby, meanwhile, make for strong supports to the two leads.
"When Harry Met Sally..." stubbornly insists upon trawling through some of the most sleep inducing and mind numbing banalities of an existence imaginable and the inconsequential nonsense it finds there has been lovingly woven into an equally nonsensical film which relates one couple's endlessly tedious journey to true happiness. The film incorporates a lot of opinions along the way which are rapidly being outmoded by fast moving modern trends in a world where quaint words such as chivalry and romance have been replaced by casual sex and instant gratification. The desperate attempts at humour successfully fail to raise even a smile and even though you know Harry and Sally are meant to be together you really don't care and when they do eventually sleep together the only reason you take an interest then is because it must mean the film is ending soon and you will be released back into the big bad city and be able to return home again sure in the knowledge it is 96 minutes of your life completely wasted.
