Smart and funny conversation, simple and sensible track and, a safer perspective are the high points of the feature. Reiner's execution is unfortunately chalky around the edges but with a sincere heart at the center of it, it sails off the shore safely. As mentioned earlier, the performance is decent if not anything extraordinary especially by the lead cast Crystal and Ryan. It is shot with bright and light colors spread across the whole screen that is appealing for the viewers from the first frame. The background score is a bit disappointing along with the sound department although the cinematography (like the phone call between Harry and Sally) play a vital role in storytelling and has fine editing. Reiner's world is brimmed with such sweet innuendos that makes it utterly pleasing with a big smile on the face that stays with the audience long after the curtain drops. The little nuances like fiddling with the props around the scene and a brief love track narrated by various couple in an interview is just pure delight.
