That was an excellent one.

How sad is this?

Absolutely Fantastic

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Although Meg Ryan continued her consistent character and performance style in the film, she is still one of the few highlights of the film. The concept of the change of the old and new bookstores is very good, but the film has not been able to stick to the main line of conflict. Therefore, the old storyline occupies most of the film's time. In the delay of various insignificant secondary plots, the ending of the story has long lost its suspense.

"You've Got Mail" is a third pairing of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in a romantic comedy. This one also has some seriousness that gives it a more real feel. The plot is fairly original, and similar situations of big corporation versus small shops are common in real life. As Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly, Hanks and Ryan do very well at playing what become double roles. They have their personal encounters and then they have an encounter in cyberspace through email. This is a fun and entertaining film. It may be the first movie to show the use of email. Popular use of the Internet for email began in 1996.

I grew up on the west side of New York City, so this is like going home to visit, and hanging out with my friends Meg and Tom. This is such a kind movie, and it gives me hope that compatibility is possible. It is 2018, 20 years after this movie was made, and I'm on plenty of fish, doing that you've got mail thing at age 66. If you have a mushy bone in your body, watch this movie, especially if you have a honey. It's just great.

Unlike "84 Charing Cross Road" the writing (of letters) is largely incidental, and the real plot is 'will they get it together?' This of course means there is no suspense since in movies of this type the couple always gets it together. And so it is. This is apparently a remake of some earlier Hollywood hit and follows the romantic comedy formula perfectly, even down to the protagonists' compulsory best friends.The script is by Norah Ephron, and she does raise a laugh on occasion. When Tom Hanks introduces the children he is with to Meg Ryan, it turns out the 7 year old girl is his aunt and the 9 year old is his brother, the products of late second marriages by his father and grandfather (both still alive). "A typical American family" says Tom. I hope not - Dad and Grandad are pretty ruthless people. Recommended? Well, saw this one as an in-flight movie, so it was free. It could have been worse.
