LOVED IT!
One of the sweetest movies I've ever seen. Meg Ryan is a beauty and for those of us who love NYC, it was a treat. I've watched it several times and am so glad someone sent me a free copy because I probably would not have been interested in it. The music was great and it was just an upbeat movie that makes you feel good.

Loved it!!!!
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have done it again! These two have an on-screen chemistry that will put them down in film history along with others like Hepburn and Tracy or Astaire and Rogers. It was very different from its preceding movie, Sleepless in Seattle, which I loved, of course. What I found to be a pleasant difference was the fact that these characters actually meet, have real dialogue, and get to know each other, before they discover they are meant for one another. In Sleepless in Seattle, they said "hi" on the street once, and then they suddenly know they have each found the person of their dreams, their significant other, their soulmate, etc. This movie begs the answer of the question, "What if that man or that woman that you see everyday is the love of your life, but you just don't know it yet?" Since I love romantic comedies, I of course jumped to see this one. I have found that the true test of whether or not a romantic movie is any good is if the feeling you get when you leave the theater is a wonderful warm feeling, "almost like being in love". (If you've seen Brigadoon, you would understand that. Now there's a romantic movie that gives you a very warm feeling.)This is one film that definitely succeeds in that area. Two thumbs up and a couple of toes!

Good, a bit unrealistic, but good
I actually have to confess to the small audience that is probably reading my reviews that I actually thoroughly enjoy romantic comedies. I thought that this movie was very good. I enjoyed watching it and I thought the plot was very entertaining, if a bit unrealistic.

Here's the story. Kathleen Kelly(Meg Ryan) is engaged in an online relationship with an anonymous identity and they chat a lot and converse about their love life, work, and other problems. Sounds pretty realistic, huh? Well Kathleen owns a small bookstore called The Shop on the Corner and her online buddy is Joe Fox, the owner of Fox Books, that has incidentily moved to the location just down the street. But she doesn't know who that he owns Fox Books from chatting with him online. A little twist in a lighthearted comedy, eh? Well, this is when the plot starts to get predictable, they meet and initially hate each other, but still are friends online, they both break up with their respective significant others, they meet, but only Fox realizes she's the one he's been chatting with online, Kathleen is oblivious. Then they start going out, develop a relationship, and at the end they meet and their is that moment of tenderness. Kinda saw it coming, didn't you? Other than being predictable, this movie is a definite treat for the old VCR. See it and if you like Sleepless in Seattle, buy it!
