Including this movie, Nora Ephron has a great resume (Julie & Julia, When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail) for light entertaining, romantic comedies. I love that she has a distinct style that makes it easy to recognize her work. I wonder how much she works with her sister, Delia Ephron (who attended Barnard College!), who is also a writer. Movies must be in their genes - their parents also wrote and directed movies.
This is a movie about the impossible love & the 'love at first sight' type romance that only happens in the movies and true to form, it also happens in this one. The ending is predictable but I think it is entertaining to watch how the story unfolds. I think all the actors in this movie did a fantastic job.
There are some movies I would rewatch because they are plain awesome (The Godfather), and there are some that I would rewatch to catch the cinematography (Citizen Kane). This movie falls into a different category - light easy and a bit mindless.
Cute line: H and G. Hi and Goodbye.
