I hated this movie when it first came out but now that I'm older I love it. I think maybe I was too young to appreciate it. Strange but it might be true. I love Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal in this and it's a really hilarious and touching movie. Love the music from Harry Connick Jr and the fact that Nora Ephron wrote it.

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 Delicatessen in Manhattan where Sally showed her faked orgasm became quite famous.
Amazing and amusing!

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 the men or the women & it shows.
Film released years before Spice Girl's "if you want to be my lover, first you got to be my friend" song.

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 pleasantly surprised at the depth of the relationship that developed between the two characters, and their ultimate choice to love one another beyond the fleeting "warm fuzzies" that first love can inspire.

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 voices of the Men that makes this the best rom-com of the last 30 odd years. The dialogue rings true. Not just the dialogue between the sexes, but the dialogue when each sexes are talking to one another. Example: When Billy Crystal and Bruno Kirby are talking to each other about women, especially in the batting cage scene; the dialogue rings true. Same when the Women are talking to each other in the Cafe in Central park.

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.
