Rob Reiner

The office, both versions, the rocker, almost famous, parks and rec, modern family, even the fighter was done in a similar way as when Harry met Sally, lots of modern works def took influence from Reiner
Also Seinfeld & Curb Your Enthusiasm are quite indebted.


 


Rotten Tomatoes actually has The American President #5 edging When Harry Meet Sally at #6, so basically a draw.

I just finished watching it. There's even more humourous stuff than I recalled, way beyond the "I'll have what she's having scene."

So the "com" part is much better than I remembered. I think where it falls short (just a bit) is on the "rom" part. While Sally is completely adorable, Harry is pretty much a jerk throughout the majority of the film.

Still he comes to his senses and all is well the that end well.

It holds up.

Bruno Kirby & Carrie Fisher playing the best friends was fun to see.
Baby fish mouth!!
 

Billy Crystal led of the In Memoriam segment of the Oscars with an incredible tribute to Reiner.

Amazing to see the acting stars from his films honor him on the stage.
