Starring: Matthew Broderick, Meg Ryan, Kelly Preston, Tcheky Karyo
Running Time: 1h 40min
Well, it took many, many years and the same format but Meg Ryan managed to impress me again in this unique romantic comedy. She's so good when she's not playing ditzy cute blond and has a backbone instead, making things happen instead of having things happen to her. Broderick finds a grown up role that allows him to use the talents that made Ferris Bueler so funny. The silliness of the film's premise is played straight and makes the suspension of disbelief a pleasure as we watch the heartbroken couple watch the heartbreakers. The perfect blend of physical, situational. and spoken comedy is present, making it totally fresh and invigorating. A one-of-a-kind original that demands repeat viewings.
Grade: A
