Not quite When Harry met Sally

I didn't realise this film could generate such diverse opinions - ironic, given the tag line. This was a sweet movie, nicely performed by the nearly always underrated, but never disappointing stars, both of whom have enjoyed unspectacular but satisfying (from my point of view) careers. The story was smart and lightly handled - okay, it wasn't quite When Harry met Sally, but neither, thank God, was it You've got mail. Strange that Brian Hohfeld doesn't seem to have many other major writing credits, considering the standard he achieved here, or are my sources out of date? Nice work all round, and Elizabeth Perkins can still effortlessly pluck my heartstrings, even after all these years!
