Better than Sleepless In Seattle!
How could anyone not like "You've Got Mail"? This movie is great! It's funny, it's sad, it's heartbreaking, and it's romantic. When Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan get together to do a film together, they both give such phenominal performances. When these two forces come together, they have such a great chemistry. With Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, the casting makes it a great film that the whole family can join because they both have such great talents even when they're not exactly with each other face to face in the film.

Starting up an internet friendship, Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks are unaware that they are confronting one another over the net, being that they are business rivals. When Hank's superstore book chain business causes Ryan's small book shop to close, there is much sadness knowing that the small book store contained precious memories in which Ryan's mother passed it down to her daughter. The other stars in the movie are great, featuring Jean Stapleton (Edith Bunker on the hit show "All In The Family"), along with Greg Kinnear and Parker Posey. While keeping their internet relationship strong, Hanks is able to confront Ryan knowing her identity, but Ryan and Hank's relationship declines when she finds out about his identity when she finds out that he owns the superstore book chain business that ran Ryan out of business. Emotions are running high and you will find yourself easily falling head-over-heels for this movie.

Tom and Meg, Together Again
It's hard to explain why I like this movie as much as I do. I suppose I'm a sucker for light hearted romantic comedies. Indeed, if I'm in the mood for something funny, comforting and familiar, You've Got Mail is almost always in the top 10. This is not to say that it's one of the 10 greatest films, it's not.

Now, in 2004, the dial up AOL accounts are being phased out. I'm not sure what the status of the chat rooms are anymore. So, yes, the premise is now a bit dated. Still, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan work great together.

If this is what you're in the mood for, You've Got Mail is still a good way to spend a couple of hours, get a couple of laughs in, and not be challenged too much,

Third Time's a Charm!
You've Got Mail is the third pairing up of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan and the second time working with the director, Nora Ephron.
In You've Got Mail, this film looks in a comedic and romantic way, how the internet superhighway is becoming the way of communicating, especially romantically. Nora portrays innocently, two people's lives who are very alike and live within a few miles of eachother, but meet over the internet. They both own bookstores, Meg's is a quaint little shop called conveniently, The Shop Around The Corner (Out of homage to the movie this was based on) that's been around for over 40 years, and Tom's is a book store owner who builds his store right next to Meg's, only his is a superstore that swallows The Shop Around the Corner in one big gulp. The first time these two meet, it seems that they like eachother, but this is before she is informed that he is not just "Joe" as he introduced himself earlier, but "Joe Fox" of Fox Books who is putting her out of business! From then on, Meg hates him and avoids him at all costs.
Tom then decides that it's time to meet his internet friend whom he's confided in and feels close to, but his friend turns out to be the person he LEAST wanted.
Nora took careful note in choosing the music for the film. Most of it is oldies that really portray the behavior and the mood of the actors. Songs from Harry Nilsson, Louis Armstrong, Bobby Darin and Stevie Wonder fill this film with character.
Once again Tom and Meg portray their true chemistry and allow us to fall in love with them all over again.
You've Got Mail is a simple love story modernized to fit the technolgy of today. Just sit back, relax and zoom through the connection that Meg and Tom have together; through the internet and in person.
