classic for any movie collection posted on 31 Aug 2009
I absolutely love this film. It's a classic romantic comedy that I personally could watch over and over and over again. I think anyone would love watching it.

Meg Ryan is Kathleen Kelly the owner of a small bookstore. Tom Hanks is Joe Fox the son of the owner of a huge mega-bookstore which moves into the neighborhood and threatens her little bookstore. They make contact on the internet but she doesn't know her true identity and she doesn't know his.This is supposed to be a romantic comedy in the vein of Sleepless in Seattle but Hank's character is not likable. Why would Meg Ryan fall for him when she hates everything he represents? The story just doesn't ring true. I didn't like this movie much for that reason.Meg Ryan is just getting too old to play these parts any longer. She certainly has been cute in previous movies but now her wrinkles are showing.Tom Hanks is just too good an actor to play these slight roles anymore. He seems to sleepwalk through the movie and his heart just doesn't seem in it.Instead of this movie I'd recommend Must Love Dogs with John Cusack and Diane Lane.

This movie was meant to be one where my girlfriend and I were to experience the reflections of our Internet-love. Begin apart for 3 1/2 years didn't bring to the point where I can appreciate a shallow try by the golden couple. Unreal; very controversial and for a fact: not intriguing. It doesn't show the net's potential for love. But what can you expect if the movie wants to fascinate the group of millions; you tend to forget the truth and even better; the importance of details! Wish the news could be better!

I saw this film when it first came out and watch it whenever it is on cable.
Why? Becasue Meg Ryan is just as cute as can be and I never tire of watching her expressions as she ponders what to compose on her laptop.
Also, I feel the need to comment just to voice my opinion that this movie is clearly superior to "Sleepless in Seattle." This story is more believable and Meg is much, much more adorable here. The story is often predictable, of course, but I love the ending with Meg's wonderful expressions. And Harry Nilssen's rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" adds to the satisfying conclusion. -
So many elements in this movie were similar to Sleepless in Seattle (same director, same actor, same actress, two people kindling a romance without meeting etc...) that it really should have been called Sleepless in Cyberspace. That's not a slam at all. In fact, I enjoyed "Mail" much more than "Seattle". It is far more interesting to see the two relationships continue in parallel (both not knowing who the other person is via email and the actual relationship where there is the tension of knowing exactly who you're dealing with).This movie has charm and a lot to say. I would rank this as one of Hank's finest performances. There are far too many satisfying elements in the characer and story developments to find fault with this film. There are those who will love it and those who will hate it as with any film. I loved it.If you liked this film, I'd strongly suggest The Apartment starring Jack Lemmon and Shirley McClaine.

My son got me to see this on Christmas Day. I had enjoyed both the 1940 Shop Around the Corner and the 1949 musical In the Good Old Summertime, but I was a bit reluctant to see this one. I'm glad I did, but I figured out the ending would be a bit different. Yes Shelby is male, and I enjoyed it.

With PATCH ADAMS and STEPMOM, YOU'VE GOT MAIL completes a trio of manipulative mediocrities for the 1998 holiday season. Nora Ephron's new film is practically a case study in how they don't make 'em like they used to. In an attempt to recapture the mood (and success) of SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, Ephron tries to shoehorn Ernst Lubitsch's great classic romance, THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER, to fit SEATTLE's formula: same stars, same delayed meeting, same reference to film taste as a key to understanding the sexes (men are from THE GODFATHER here), same incessant use of instantly recognizable songs as shorthand for real emotional involvement.What makes MAIL bearable is the enduring appeal of the cast, though even that is undercut by a script that asks us to believe that lifelong commitment to anything but love is petty. Pitting the main characters against each other as representatives of the battle between big corporate America and the small entrepreneur is frankly more than this trifling film can handle. Lubitsch knew what he was about when he kept his film small. A focused beam burns hotter.

"You've Got Mail" is supposed to be an entertaining romantic comedy. It succeeds at being entertainment for 2 hours, but at the price of your hard earned $7. It lacks the chemistry that the characters of "Sleepless In Seattle" had, and the film turns into a long romp of "Will something please happen??" The story drags, the characters are forgettable, and there's no worthwhile "Will she find out it's him?" suspense to be had. Wait for the video, and only rent that if there's NOTHING else! I rate it a 2.5 on a scale of 10.

Now you're saying, wow, it must have taken a long time for you to come up with that. Well it didn't. I had just finished final exams for the semester and my brain was a little fried. But come on, when you have Hanks, Ryan and Ephron together, what do you expect? World War III? Of course it was going to be fun and romantic. Hanks and Ryan have to be the premiere on-screen couple in Hollywood. And Ephron has proven over the years that she can get both a tear and a smile out of you during her movies. Hanks plays Joe Fox, the son of the owner of the largest book chain in New York, Fox Books. Ryan plays Kathleen Kelly, the owner of a small children's bookstore called, A Shop Around the Corner. Well as it turns out, Fox Books opens up a store right around the corner from Kathleen's store. Joe and Kathleen run into each other, and its hate at first site. Kathleen thinks Joe is just a money hungry businessman, while Joe just thinks Kathleen is another stepping stone in life. And they're both happy to go on thinking that way about each other. What they don't realize is that they know each other. See, both Kathleen and Joe are having an email relationship online. Every day they email back and forth, saying things most people only dream about, but never saying anything personal. Joe and Kathleen have the dream relationship with each other; they just don't know it yet.So you know where the movie goes. They love each other online, and hate each other offline. When Joe finds out that his online love is Kathleen, he's not sure what to do. Does he tell her? Or does he try and find out how she really feels about him? My only problem with the film was her reaction at the end when they finally meet. It seems to be that in a way he was lying to her about who he was. He knew who she was, and he sort of used that to find out about how she felt about him. I don't know about you, but I think I might have been a little more upset about being used that way. But then again, we were at the 2 hour mark when they met, so I guess it had to have a happy ending. And I'm not saying the happy ending was bad, just Hollywood.If you're looking for a good date movie, You've Got Mail would be the one to see. It's light-hearted, funny, and romantic. But would you expect any less?

I didn't go into this movie expecting much, and I wasn't disappointed. Meg Ryan seems happy to coast along on the strength of her formidable array of cute expressions, and Nora Ephron seems content to keep making "chick flicks" with monotony... the supporting cast are great, but are wasted as the film is mostly concerned with the self-absorbed leads. Some amusing moments but mostly filled with the kind of fatuous reflections on success and happiness that we've come to expect from the '90s fuzzy-warm-feeling films.Tom Hanks still continues to be the most overrated and boring actor of his generation but New York in autumn is beautiful. This film is concerned with people who seem to have so much time, they spend it being neurotic... or is that just New Yorkers?In fact, you could say that the best things about this movie were Parker Posy (as a woman "who makes coffee nervous") and New York, and even though they both didn't get enough lines, they still acted the pants off Tom and Meg."When Harry Met Sally" was not just funny, it was insightful. This insipid vanilla-flavoured money-maker aspires to heart and soul, but ends up leaving you with belly aches, not belly laughs... soggy. In fact, one of the only honest things about it was its constant references to the book it rips off: "Pride and Prejudice" (which did it better first anyway).PS: A good test would be to take your partner. If they love it, get on the internet and find another.

I absolutley loved this movie. My boyfriend, who does not usually like "chick flicks" liked it as well. Meg and Tom are so great together, that you think they could be a "real life couple". It is one of my favorite movies that has been out in a LONG time, next to "Stepmom". Go see it if you have not already.

Everyone is expecting part two of SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, this is not it. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are business rivals with different out looks on business and life. The two become fascinated with each other on the internet. Really kind of predictable after first fifteen minutes. Hanks and Ryan are wonderful together. Greg Kinnear and Dabney Coleman also appear.

Gosh! There are already like a million movies with people being deeply inlove without meeting eachother. I don't see how these movies keep getting and I am sick of this theme. There are already like 3 movies just like this and guess what......they even have the same people starring in them! If you haven't already seen "Joe vs. The Volcanoe" and/or "Sleepless in Seattle", then you might not be as annoyed to see this movie.

This film was entertaining, fast moving and full of laughs. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who wants to have their spirits lifted. Meg Ryan is a quirky book owner and Tom Hanks is a corporate minded book store franchise owner who share wonderful letters with each other through the internet.A delightful remake of the Shop Around The Corner.

I thought this looked like a good movie, so I rented it, and boy, was I dissapointed. Everything was stolen from a different movie. It was basically sleepless in seattle with e-mail, but SIS wasn't even that good in the first place. The worst of all though, is that they used AOL. The movie seemed like a long AOL ad.
