REPARTEE
Today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film was Rob Reiner's
With a script by Nora Ephron, the talk is the main thing.
Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan test the question of whether men and women can be "just friends" or not.
It is a good thing that the script is witty and fast paced since there is little sparkle between the stars. But then, for most of the movie, that is the point.
I also have to say that I do not much like either Crystal or Ryan. In fact, for a while in the beginning I thought that "she" was Jennifer Anniston. I don't like here either.
I make this point because I enjoyed the movie anyway. That is something. If i have a grudge against an actor it is hard to get over.
I laughed. I enjoyed it. I didn't hear all the jokes so I wouldn't mind seeing it again.
I enjoyed seeing Carry Fisher and Bruno Kirby as the best friends.
I will give it a 4 out of Netflix5. A Rob Reiner film fest?
