A far more accomplished and elegaic film - and if you can hold it together in the bar scene when Van Morrison starts playing, your a bigger person than me.

I have to disagree. I love love love When Harry Met Sally. This movie was cute and thoughtful, but I didn't feel the passion between the two lead characters as I did during WHMS. When I say passion, I meant the initial disgust, hatred, sadness, loneliness, and the final payoff.

The OP has to be joking. "Prelude" is slow-moving and has most of the bad stuff about "chick flicks" and few of the good. WHMS is funny, clever, sad, bittersweet, thoughtful and probably the best romantic comedy made during the last thirty years.

Whatever you do, DO NOT read this sig--ACKKK!!! TOO LATE!!!

I much preferred When Harry Met Sally. I do "get" this movie; it is an interesting notion. Definitely the idea of one person inhabiting another and the benefits and disadvantages of that is something that lends itself to the movies more than any other medium. I think A.B. does a very good job, though Meg Ryan seemed in over her head, and I found the scenes with the old guy to be really tiresome.
WHMS doesn't have as "deep" a premise, but it seemed a lot more engaging to me.

In some spots of the movie, becomes better due to some points of improvement of Meg Ryan she was more freely had more flexibility, nimbleness and more is at these points is that Meg Ryan demonstrates high capacity, effervescence and a comfortable safety of seeing a Meg Ryan pleasantly calm and balanced.
The Problem is that Meg into ''blockbuster movies'' she acts in a very hitched way.
This damages balance, becoming very unstable, vulnerable and weepy

'Harry and Sally' is arguably unbeatable ... but there are points in this movie that Meg makes this movie enhancements.
