Quotes:

Paula: I tried to kill myself when I was a kid.
Peter: Jesus, is suicide a female right of passage or something?
Paula: Women are 10 times more likely to attempt suicide and males are 4 times more likely to succeed, so you're bound to meet more female attempters because the male attempters are just, dead.
Peter: And you didn't try it again?
Paula: No... I'll be dead soon enough.

Soundtrack:

Love is Coming Back

When Harry Met Sally it ain't!

Great movie! It starts out with two people about to kiss in a hotel room, with both of them admitting that this is going to be a big mistake. Buit they go ahead and do it anyway. After that, the rest of the movie deals with the implications of that kiss. But the way it is all presented is quite fun. There are the somewhat annoying uses of cartooning effects over the real actors. But the most enjoyable part was the way they played with the timeline. At any given time, you aren't really sure if you're in the present or the past. The first few times take you by surprise.

Not your typical love story, for sure. I thought the actors were fine, everyone lies, noone is perfect, which is the way life is. Just more so. As Sid Ceasar said, "Comedy has to be based on truth. You take the truth and you put a little curlicue at the end." And that's what they did with this movie.

A good 7.5 (8 on IMDB).
