Lado a Lado com o Amor

I first saw this movie as a teenager and loved it just as much as *When Harry Met Sally*. However, rewatching it as an adult, my feelings have changed significantly. While the movie was good for its time, I now see that Sarah Jessica Parker and Eric Schaeffer have no chemistry together. Eric Schaeffer, though talented, doesn't quite fit the role he plays.

I also feel his character could have had a more compelling storyline with Elle Macpherson's character. Despite their minimal chemistry, it still surpassed that of his with Sarah Jessica Parker. Perhaps the issue lies in the "platonic best friends fall in love" cliché, which wasn't as overdone when the movie was first released. A different narrative focus might have resulted in a more engaging love story.

Additionally, while *When Harry Met Sally* remains timeless despite its use of clichés, this movie hasn't aged as well. The supporting cast, while enjoyable, doesn't quite make up for the central lack of chemistry.
