Synopsis

Sex always gets in the way of friendships between men and women. At least, that's what Harry Burns believes. So when Harry meets Sally Albright and a deep friendship blossoms between them, Harry's determined not to let his attraction to Sally destroy it. But when a night of weakness ends in a morning of panic, can the pair avoid succumbing to Harry's fears by remaining friends and admitting they just might be the perfect match for each other?

    Friend 1: Don’t Do It Friend 2: You Better Not Friend 3: Jack, Sit Down Me: I LOVE THAT YOU GET COLD WHEN ITS 71 DEGREES OUT. I LOVE THAT IT TAKES YOU AN HOUR AND A HALF TO ORDER A SANDWICH. I LOVE THAT YOU GET A LITTLE CRINKLE ABOVE YOUR NOSE WHEN YOU’RE LOOKING AT ME LIKE IM NUTS. I LOVE THAT AFTER I SPEND THE DAY WITH YOU, I CAN STILL SMELL YOUR PERFUME ON MY CLOTHES. AND I LOVE THAT YOU’RE THE LAST PERSON I WANT TO TALK TO BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT. AND IT’S NOT BECAUSE IM LONELY, AND IT’S NOT BECAUSE ITS NEW YEARS EVE. I CAME HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE WHEN YOU REALISE THAT YOU WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH SOMEONE, YOU WANT THE REST OF YOUR LIFE TO START AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

    the fact that the scene where harry and sally watch casablanca at the same time while talking on the phone was something rob reiner and billy crystal did every night,, fellas is it gay to base a heterosexual romantic comedy you’re directing on your real-life friendship with the lead actor?

    “You are a human affront to all women and I am a woman.” Just a classic rom-com and a true pillar in the genre. I will say, I wasn’t blown away by this film like it seems others are. The chemistry between our two leads is undeniable, as that carried the film for me. It’s also worthy of note that Billy Crystal is absolutely “fitted” in every scene. When Harry Met Sally is a cute, perfectly fine, rom-com. 81%

    I tried again, folks. I really tried. This is just ok. Billy Crystal makes me feel nothing. Meg Ryan makes me feel everything. There’s no way she ends up with him and I don’t want her to. These mid men in the 80s needed to stop being rewarded with getting the girl in the end because mid men for generations have believed they have a birthright to their dream girl because Harry ends up with Sally.

    “ Men and women can’t be friends because the sex part always gets in the way “ I just needed a little break from life to find a movie so deep breaking where there is drama, infidelity and two people who loves each other from the start but they don’t say it so they try to date other women and men so to ignore what it’s really between them.

    chloe 8 月 24, 2026

    this is the perfect romcom because it gives everyone room to live and breathe. we get to see everyone decorating their apartments, mailing letters, sending emails, buying gifts for friends; it makes you think about how even when love can be the only thing on your mind, people still have to live their lives. go to sleep, wake up, do it again. part of why i love sally and harry is because you can see how they already fit into each…

    Una old romcom, ME ENCANTAAAAAAA!!!! Me deja reflexionando mucho que esta película salió en el año 1989 y tenían los mismos pensamientos que hoy en día comparto con mis amigos en 2026. Sinceramente esta película estuvo genial, me reí muchísimo, lloré un poquito también, hubo declaración de amor… Y un buen friends to lovers. No le doy las 5 estrellas porque él tiene una personalidad que a veces deja que desear y uf, me recordó a muchos tíos hoy en…

    Watched this movie at 4pm on a Sunday I feel like that’s the only time you can watch it. I always cry at the end. Also I love Sally’s whole vibe. It goes to show that men and women can’t just be friends after all. Watch this movie if you’re playing the long game or you’re a hopeless romantic or if you’re in a happy relationship. Just watch it

    Bruh Meg Ryan is so beautiful in this and Billy is just there. First scene was irratiting by this got me back straight away with the second scene and we were off and running. New York and the seasons in this movie are a 5th character and add so much. Clothes are so sick. The chemistry but also the writing of this conversations is so good. Very funny too.

    I can’t lie I was a bit hesitant at first because yeah love stories are cute but sometimes they feel soooo cheesy to the point where they r annoying. But after hearing so much about this film I felt like I at least had to give it a chance. I didn’t expect it to be something I actually really was invested in. Mostly because so many things are so linear but it’s such a breath of fresh air to see…

    Plane movie! Turns out I like romcoms that don’t center on cheating, have actual growth in the characters, actually shows them falling in love, and has great chemistry between the two leads! Also, no cheating! Yay! It also helps that we had the cutest girl in front of us who we were just vibing/playing with throughout the movie.

    Characters are at a peak. Scenarios at a peak. The writing and romance at a peak. The filmmaking? Its pretty good with spetacular moments and scenes I can still imagine perfectly a week out from watching. Those moments are too few though. All in all this is an incredibly comforting film with so much charm from everyone involved. Been missing out.

Sex always gets in the way of friendships between men and women. At least, that's what Harry Burns believes. So when Harry meets Sally Albright and a deep friendship blossoms between them, Harry's determined not to let his attraction to Sally destroy it. But when a night of weakness ends in a morning of panic, can the pair avoid succumbing to Harry's fears by remaining friends and admitting they just might be the perfect match for each other?
