      Wendy Ide Times (UK) Possibly the greatest romantic comedy since Some Like It Hot... Mar 25, 2024 Full Review THR Staff Hollywood Reporter When Harry Met Sally is a beautiful, brainy, touching and lilting romantic comedy that should touch the heartstrings of lovers and those yearning to be in love everywhere. Jul 18, 2018 Full Review Glenn Heath Jr. Little White Lies Cynically lovely and a whip smart archetype for the modern rom-com. Rated: 4/5 Dec 11, 2015 Full Review Charlotte Harrison Charlotte Sometimes Goes to the Movies There are some films where, once you think of them, you’ll feel an urge for a rewatch. When Harry Met Sally is most definitely one of them. Mar 27, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It’s a story of two lost souls who put their faith in their own wrong views of love while a much easier answer may be right before them. That’s a story I can get into. Rated: 4/5 Aug 21, 2022 Full Review Erik Childress The Friendship Dilemma Podcast Has the film contributed to a generation of romantic comedies where friendship is a consolation prize? Maybe. But its winning performances and Ephron's funny script still make the film a delight in any generation. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 25, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
