At the end of Meg Ryan‘s beguiling and grown-up new romantic comedy What Happens Later, a simple dedication card shows on screen that says “To Nora.” And for star, director and co-writer Ryan, that says it all. After an eight-year absence from the screen, Ryan has returned, both in front of and behind the camera, to a genre that made her a huge star thanks also in large part to the late great Nora Ephron, whose trio of collaborations with Ryan — When Harry Met Sally (directed by Rob Reiner), Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail — truly defined what a joyful experience a romantic comedy could be when in the right hands.

Through the prism of one former couple’s relationship woes, this effervescent, enlightened romantic comedy explores our innate need for reconciliation within ourselves and with each other.

And I remember cars closing — like, expensive cars — and then you don’t hear the outside anymore.”The “What Happens Later” actress said experiencing seclusion can make people feel “roped off,” which could ultimately lead to a “limited life.”“You’re roped off in that part of thing, and I just knew it’s just not good for an artist or a creative person to have limited life, in a way, to draw from,” she notes.To shake things up, Ryan moved out of LA with her family to focus on her personal life.“I have a very charmed life,” she explained.

Megan Fox has a message for SAG-AFTRA — but pretty much everyone else has an even stronger message for her!

Meg Ryan is “enchanting.” It’s hard to think of a better word to describe her than the one Nora Ephron usedin the “You’ve Got Mail” script — a word repeated four times in the first 30 minutes of the 1998 film.
