SimonJack "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.

Mihai Toma A woman's book store for children is threatened by a big book supermarket which offers greater variety and discounts so she asks for help from her online friend, whom she speaks via mail. She gains his trust and begins fighting for her beloved shop but it's going to be a big struggle which seems to have no hope. To add more pain in the equation, her virtual friend is going to provide a couple of unexpected surprises which she will have to face as life becomes harder and harder. It's a romantic comedy which features a warm but also sad atmosphere in which the main characters face their struggles. It has emotion, drama and happiness but the very predictable and simple finale spoils the overall experience. Still, it's a very good and enjoyable movie to watch with your family.

Yuscha Anindya Set in New York, two 30 year-olds exchange letters via the internet, or the virtual plane. Little did they know that their real lives already clashed so close, and what seems to be hatred and banter in real life blossoms into romance and sweetness in the virtual world. Can they make it through the irony?First of all, I loved both Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. They always brought out their own charm and their chemistry is undeniably palpable. They handled all their materials given perfectly, and not one single beat was missing in their performances. However, this film brought so little of it and yet painted Hanks' character as a little bit creepy man who isn't truthful.The plot was a little creative, but it came to a generic conclusion nonetheless. It's a classic "I hate you, I love you" story with a modern twist. I do liked the other aspects of the movie, such as the song selections, the general setting, the tonal consistency, and the supporting cast.It's a strong romantic comedy, but it is still a romantic comedy: it always ends with them being together.

bjamzilla (My spoilers are more on the foregone conclusion, 30 second trailer type, by the way)This is one of those movies that you have to see whenever its on. One of those, 'wait let me record this, because I want to catch all the goodness that I feel each time I watch it' flicks. And Nora Ephron is so good at that.Though there are things I'd change. Yes, there are. Let's face it--it's just dated . And I'm not even talking about AOL. I can live with that. But not that Cranberry's song. And the two leads significant others were so annoying and pointless. But it is essentially every Romantic Comedy on earth. They hate each other, there's tension, and in the end they kiss. And maybe I need a few more re-watches but I'm pretty sure Tom Hanks was a prick. But an enjoyable, Tom Hanksy prick. And there's so many good lines and moments in this movie. I enjoy it and I think you will too. I give it a seven because Tom Hanks character was kind of a prick, and it was just not as timeless feeling as I'd like, veering closely to the a cookie cutter RomCom a la Katherine Heigl, for me. I feel this way probably because Meg's character is much more insipid as opposed to past similar roles she's played. But maybe I just need another re-watch...
