You, Again

When Harry Met Sally is a 1989 romantic comedy written by Nora Ephron and directed by Rob Reiner. It stars Meg Ryan as Sally and Billy Crystal as Harry. The film has become famous for asking whether or not platonic friendship is possible between men and women, though Goldbeck’s adaptation in You, Again looks more closely at the question that the film’s theatrical release poster poses: “Can two friends sleep together and still love each other in the morning?” (“When Harry Met Sally.” Film Art Gallery).

You, Again contains several references to the 1989 film, including its references to the New York Jewish deli’s cultural significance. The scene in Katz’s Delicatessen, in which Sally fakes an orgasm to indicate that men are unable to tell when women are faking sexual pleasure, is the film’s most famous scene. The movie had a positive critical response, both for its writing and its acting. More enduring, however, is the film’s fanbase, which has persisted for more than 30 years since the film’s initial theatrical release. Ephron’s screenplay was nominated at the 1990 Academy Awards.
