By now, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have amassed such a fund of goodwill with moviegoers that any new onscreen pairing brings nearly reflexive smiles. In You've Got Mail, the quintessential boy and girl next door repeat the tentative romantic crescendo that made Sleepless in Seattle, writer-director Nora Ephron's previous excursion with the duo, a massive hit. The prospective couple do actually meet face to face early on but Mail otherwise repeats the earlier feature's gentle, extended tease of saving its romantic resolution until the final, gauzy shot.
The underlying narrative is an even more old-fashioned romantic pas de deux that is casually hooked to a newfangled device. The script, cowritten by the director and her sister, Delia Ephron, updates and relocates the Ernst Lubitsch classic, The Shop Around the Corner, to contemporary Manhattan, where Joe Fox (Hanks) is a cheerfully rapacious merchant whose chain of book superstores is gobbling up smaller, more specialized shops such as the children's bookstore owned by Kathleen Kelly (Ryan). Their lives run in close parallel in the same idealized neighbourhood yet they first meet anonymously, online, where they gradually nurture a warm, even intimate correspondence. As they begin to wonder whether this e-mail flirtation might lead them to be soul mates, however, they meet and clash over their colliding business fortunes.
It's no small testament to the two stars that we wind up liking and caring about them despite the inevitable (and highly manipulative) arc of the plot. Although their chemistry transcended the consciously improbable romantic premise of Sleepless, enabling director Ephron to attain a kind of amorous soufflé, this time around there's a slow leak that considerably deflates the affair. Less credulous viewers will challenge Joe's logic in prolonging the concealment of his online identity from Kathleen, and may shake their heads at Ephron's reinvention of Manhattan as a spotless, sun-dappled wonderland where everybody lives in million-dollar apartments and colour co-ordinates their wardrobes for cocktail parties. --Sam Sutherland

A Contemporary Classic of Romantic Comedy.......2007-08-23
I recently saw two films directed by Norah Ephron. This one and Sleepless in Seattle (1993). Both have held up remarkably well. Curious to know the background (if any) to You've Got Mail, I did a little research. Its basic plot can be traced back to Nikolaus Laszlo's play The Shop Around the Corner which was adapted in a film of the same name directed by Ernest Lubitsch in 1940, co-starring Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart. Then in 1949, it was recycled as a musical (re-named In the Good Old Summertime) co-starring Judy Garland and Van Johnson. What we have here is the latest version of Laszlo's original story, brought to the screen again with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in the lead roles. In fact, Hanks and Ryan had appeared previously (but together only briefly) in Sleepless in Seattle.
Here's the basic situation. Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) owns a small bookstore in Manhattan which is slowly being driven out of business by a major chain, Foxbooks, headed by Joe Fox (Hanks). The two have frequent encounters at a distance, over a period of time, and obviously begin to feel a mutual attraction without ever formally meeting. Meanwhile, they begin a daily e-mail correspondence during which they share personal information. It is important to keep in mind that they know each other only as NY152 and Shopgirl. Also that Joe is involved with Patricia Eden (Parker Posey) and Kathleen with Frank Navaskey (Greg Kinnear). Eventually, she must close the doors of her "Shop Around the Corner" and then....
When observing Hanks's performance again recently, I was fascinated even more because he combines some of the edge of his portrayal of Michael O'Sullivan in Road to Perdition (2002) with the innocence of Allen Bauer in Flash (1984) and as Forrest Gump (1994). Hanks is among the most talented and versatile of film actors. As for Ryan, she portrays Kathleen Kelly with precisely the right balance of spunk, decency, vulnerability, and wit. She is clearly the most sympathetic character in this film as she struggles to save her bookstore while searching for personal fulfillment as a woman. Ephron's supporting cast is first-rate, notably two of my favorite character actors, Dabney Coleman (Nelson Fox) and John Randolph (Schuyler Fox), as well as Posey, Kinnear, and Jean Stapleton (as Birdie). That said, Hanks dominates each scene in which he appears. There is never any doubt (at least in my mind) that Joe and Kathleen will overcome all the barriers and complications and find in each other what their respective lives have previously lacked. Yes, this is a "feel good movie" but that is true of all of the best romantic comedies. My guess (only a guess) is that Ernst Lubitsch would have enjoyed it as much as I did.
It is also worth noting that Ephron skillfully coordinates the plot developments with a soundtrack available on a CD which continues to sell very well. The selections include Puppy Song (Harry Nilsson), Dreams (The Cranberries), Splish Splash (Bobby Darin), Dummy Song (Louis Armstrong), Remember (Harry Nilsson), Dream (Roy Orbison), Rockin' Robin (Bobby Day), Lonely at the Top (Randy Newman), Signed,Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours (Stevie Wonder), I Guess the Lord Must Be in New York City (Sinéad O'Connor), Over the Rainbow (Harry Nilsson), Anyone At All (Carol King), I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself a Letter (Billy Williams), The "You've Got Mail" Suite (George Fenton), and You Made Me Love You (Jimmy Durante).
Get Out The Munchies...........2007-07-15
The great thing about this movie is that these days the Internet has grown to such a level that looking through the somewhat "innocent" eyes of chatting online that this presents in the 1998 movie is like looking back in time to internet infancy.
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan play very predictable characters that are well acted and well written, you can tell it was made specifically for them. The slightly frustrating thing about this movie is that it is a new-age Sleepless in Seattle, at times being almost identical. As a chick flick, this movie is excellent, but if you have seen Sleepness, you may find yourselves lingering on how similar both movies are.
We meet their characters as they are in the beginnings of their Internet romance, in reality Meg's character is small bookstore owner whilst Hanks is the larger company who can offer the discounts the small store cannot, thus closing their company down. Not much is made of the fact that Hanks character must be rich, although no reference is ever made to large amounts of wealth that he must have, Ryans character must be bankrupt again her financial plight is missed out, and any woman worth their salt would never forgive the person for lying about who they are, putting them out of business and then leading her on until they finally meet. All of these issues are conviniently cast aside as the movie focuses solely on the contrasting relationships between the online and real interactions.
But then again, love conquers all especially in Hollywood, grab the munchies as the title suggests and your loved one, and enjoy a great feel-good film.
A Hat trick of Success for the 'Tom Hanks - Meg Ryan' Pairing .......2007-04-16
The best thing about this movie being a remake from 'The Shop Around the Corner', is that it was not a disappointment. Very often, remakes are terrible, and should have been left alone. You've got mail was not one of these. I love Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan together. The 3rd film where they were paired after Joe versus the volcano and Sleepless in Seattle.
Love it.......2006-06-05
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan together is a killer combination who always seem to represent people looking for true loves who are destined by fate. Although i prefer Sleepless in Seatle, this on is brighter in colour, cosier in settings and atmosphere and sweeter in general.
You've Got Mail.......2006-04-22
This film is one of the worst I have ever seen and I just couldn't believe how awful it was. It was unbelievably slow and frustrating and utterly boring, as well as being just a tad TOO implausible,It mystifies me My guess is, if you liked 'Sleepless in Seattle', you'll probably like this - if you didn't, 'You've Got Mail' is even worse. I didn't like 'Sleepless in Seattle',I enjoy Tom Hanks' work in general, but he does not redeem this movie.

Meg all the way.......2004-03-10
_
With this boxset i dont now where to start really, each film displays Meg Ryan's great acting ability. My faviourite of the three is City of Angels in which Meg Ryan playes a straight face doctor who has had one of her patience's die, as you can imagine she is devistated, but she bumps into Nicolas Cage who is a angel ready to take away Meg's patient, she dosnt realise this however, and the two lost souls connect magically, but eventually Meg finds out that he's an angel, and begs him to become human, But will he ? or will he still lead the life as a angel he's always been used to. (just get you tissues out at the end as it is despratly sad) The two leading actors are brilliant and give real and raw performances, especially our heroine Meg! The story is apsolutely brilliant, there are some lines in that film that can littrely break your heart and there are some lines that will make you smile whenever you think about them. Although this film is despratly sad, it still leaves you with a positive feeling and that is usually not there most films are restiricted to either depression or happiness and that shouldnt be so.
Now youve got mail is the complete opposite of City of angels, Youve got mail is the most uplifting completly happy film on this planet, this is how we all wish our life was, living in a beautiful side of New York walking down the steps to your great appartment with the song dreams playing, it's the picture of most peoples most ideal fantasy, and thats really how the whole film plays along, the pacing is so great because it isnt so fast that all the information is cramed down you throat, but neither is it so slow that it becomes tiresome it's just right. The bones of the story is that Kathline Kelly (Meg Ryan) owns a little childrens book shop but, Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) is opening a huge book market which could potentially wipe out Kathline's store, but Kathline's been chatting to the person she supposedly madly in love with on the internet, and who do you think that could be, you guessed it it's Joe, so will they get together or wont they, well i think we all know the answer to that, but if your feeling deppressed then just swith this film on and you can gaurentee that you'll be instantly uplifted.
Probably my least faviourite of the three is Addicted to love, because it dosnt really seem as if there's anything truly original or inspiring about it, althjough Mathew Broderick and Meg Ryan put in great performances it's just not enough to inject enough life into this other wise dieing film, the main story revolves around a women who has had the love of her life stolen from her by her biggest rival, she's truly devestated so she gets with Mathew Broderick to break up their ex's relattionships, it's not that funny, and if meg hadnt been in it then it wouldnt really be worth making it.
From the diffrnt feels to each of these film i think it really shows Meg ryan true diversaty as a actress and i think that she is truly wonderful, this three dvd box set is well worth buying because each one of these films has something diffrent and unique to offer

A Contemporary Classic of Romantic Comedy.......2007-08-23
I recently saw two films directed by Norah Ephron. This one and Sleepless in Seattle (1993). Both have held up remarkably well. Curious to know the background (if any) to You've Got Mail, I did a little research. Its basic plot can be traced back to Nikolaus Laszlo's play The Shop Around the Corner which was adapted in a film of the same name directed by Ernest Lubitsch in 1940, co-starring Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart. Then in 1949, it was recycled as a musical (re-named In the Good Old Summertime) co-starring Judy Garland and Van Johnson. What we have here is the latest version of Laszlo's original story, brought to the screen again with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in the lead roles. In fact, Hanks and Ryan had appeared previously (but together only briefly) in Sleepless in Seattle.
Here's the basic situation. Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) owns a small bookstore in Manhattan which is slowly being driven out of business by a major chain, Foxbooks, headed by Joe Fox (Hanks). The two have frequent encounters at a distance, over a period of time, and obviously begin to feel a mutual attraction without ever formally meeting. Meanwhile, they begin a daily e-mail correspondence during which they share personal information. It is important to keep in mind that they know each other only as NY152 and Shopgirl. Also that Joe is involved with Patricia Eden (Parker Posey) and Kathleen with Frank Navaskey (Greg Kinnear). Eventually, she must close the doors of her "Shop Around the Corner" and then....
When observing Hanks's performance again recently, I was fascinated even more because he combines some of the edge of his portrayal of Michael O'Sullivan in Road to Perdition (2002) with the innocence of Allen Bauer in Flash (1984) and as Forrest Gump (1994). Hanks is among the most talented and versatile of film actors. As for Ryan, she portrays Kathleen Kelly with precisely the right balance of spunk, decency, vulnerability, and wit. She is clearly the most sympathetic character in this film as she struggles to save her bookstore while searching for personal fulfillment as a woman. Ephron's supporting cast is first-rate, notably two of my favorite character actors, Dabney Coleman (Nelson Fox) and John Randolph (Schuyler Fox), as well as Posey, Kinnear, and Jean Stapleton (as Birdie). That said, Hanks dominates each scene in which he appears. There is never any doubt (at least in my mind) that Joe and Kathleen will overcome all the barriers and complications and find in each other what their respective lives have previously lacked. Yes, this is a "feel good movie" but that is true of all of the best romantic comedies. My guess (only a guess) is that Ernst Lubitsch would have enjoyed it as much as I did.
It is also worth noting that Ephron skillfully coordinates the plot developments with a soundtrack available on a CD which continues to sell very well. The selections include Puppy Song (Harry Nilsson), Dreams (The Cranberries), Splish Splash (Bobby Darin), Dummy Song (Louis Armstrong), Remember (Harry Nilsson), Dream (Roy Orbison), Rockin' Robin (Bobby Day), Lonely at the Top (Randy Newman), Signed,Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours (Stevie Wonder), I Guess the Lord Must Be in New York City (Sinéad O'Connor), Over the Rainbow (Harry Nilsson), Anyone At All (Carol King), I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself a Letter (Billy Williams), The "You've Got Mail" Suite (George Fenton), and You Made Me Love You (Jimmy Durante).

All of these issues are conviniently cast aside as the movie focuses solely on the contrasting relationships between the online and real interactions.
But then again, love conquers all especially in Hollywood, grab the munchies as the title suggests and your loved one, and enjoy a great feel-good film.
