Summary: An utter flop!
Review: Despite exellent casting and a cute story line this movie failed miserablly. The story simpily lags, and in the end you just don't care what happens! What ever happened to the cemistry between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Charming Remake That Fits the 90's
Review: 1940's version "Shop Around The Corner" & 1949 version"In the Good Old Summertime" has been updated to the 90's & nothing has changed in the story with the exception ofits taking place in the 90's & a few minor differences in order to make it a story of the 90's. Very charming version. But, I doubt that it would have been as charming if not for Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan. For a good change, here's a remake of a remake that doesn't bring any surprises, but is really pleasant....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Romantic Comedy
Review: Man i love this movie. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have such an on screen presence and such great chemistry. This movie is based on the romantic comedy from the 1940's The Shop Around The Corner with Cary Grant. In the movie Meg Ryan's book store is named The Shop around the corner.

It is about two people Ryan&Hanks meet in a chat room on the internet. Which in the other one they worte letters a 90's update. It is dorected by Nora Ephron who directed Sleepless In Seatle. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are great together and have such good chemistry. If there was a nobel proze for chemistry they would win it no doubt. There are many things to like about this movie and the supporting cast is even better. It includes Dabney Coleman who plays Hanks' father, Jean Stapleton who plays birdie who is very funny so is Parker Posie and Greg Kinnear.

A Great romantic comedy and surely not to be missed at all. If you are in the mood for a good fun lighthearted romantic comedy. You've Got Mail is your best bet.

Summary: One of the most pleasant, relaxing romatic movies ever made.
Review: Remembering this film makes me want to cuddle on a nice, soft, couch, no matter how weird it sounds. This film is so unbearably cute, so much, that I can't help but smile and actually laugh while watching the movie, even when nothing funny is happeining. I just love the potrait of Christmas time in small-city-suburbian New York. The setting is just too good; snow, christmas lights, cozy book stores, light/heavy traffic, walks in the little parks, trees, moody music, and, well, everything else. This goes hand in hand with the acting. The acting is impeccable -- Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks actually look like they really belong together, and thus, the joyus spirt runs abundant throughout the entire film. There's really no way you can hate it; you have to love it. It's too cute(even for a guy like me) to look over. Watch it, like it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great story line!
Review: I thought that this movie had a great story line. It falls into the traditional love story category we have all grown to love. It's mix of emotion and humor are just right, and this movie helps to give you that wholesome feeling we all desire. Once again Tom Hanks does a great job in making a movie for every age. The only negative comment that I have about this movie is that I feel that the language content is not something that a PG audience should be exposed to. Other than that, it was a great movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "Snail Mail" pace, but still a good film.
Review: Me, being a hater of romantic comedies, somehow surprised myself with "You've Got Mail". There was something about this film that has always peaked my interest, so after much hesitation, I finally broke down and rented it. Yes, I agree with one reviewer that it is extremely slow moving at times, but if you get caught up in the characters lives, the sluggish pace doesn't seem to matter much. This movie strings you along, one close call after another, while you are often wondering, will these two ever meet? You want them to meet.

I also liked some of the other characters in the film. I enjoyed the girl playing Meg Ryan's friend from the bookstore (her co-worker). One of my favourite lines in the movie was: "did you have cyber-sex with him?" "no" Meg Ryan retorts. "Good, coz they don't respect you afterwords" the girl replies. How funny! What I don't understand is everyone talking about the "chemistry" of Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. It even says that on the box. I think if you pair any two good actors together there will be chemistry, not just Tom and Meg.

Another great thing about the film is the music! I absolutely love that song "God Must Be In NYC". (Both versions).

The end of the film is a tear jerker. (So the slow pacedness thoughout the movie is a pay off at the end). :0)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Aboslutely Love this FLick- A Must SEE!
Review: i saw this movie the 1st day it came out and have loved it since. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan make the cutest TV couple in this movie. Throughout the whole movie, you keep asking yourself "When will they find out about each other". It's absolutely breath taking. A must see for AOL users everywhere!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are enchanting!
Review: I loved this movie--it is one of the most romantic movies I have ever seen. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have a very special chemistry. The plot is meant to be cute and charming, there's zero violence and almost no profanity. It reminds of a movie from the 60s---but the fact that the main characters met on the Internet reminded me that it is definitely a 90s movie!

I loved the backdrop of New York City's Upper West Side (my neighborhood) and I loved the references to books (I love to read). This movie stands along my favorite romantic comedies, it goes next to Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Way We Were, this is a classic!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A fine romantic comedy for the 'wired generation'
Review: Rule of thumb: When you cast Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks together in a romantic comedy at this point in their careers--they're way past the days of "Joe Versus the Volcano"--you're going to have a winner. This updated version of the movie "Shop Around the Corner" does exactly that and exceeds in creating a charming and funny film. You'll like this movie if any of the following interests you: Internet romances, books, mom & pop stores, business rivalries, Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, or New York City. Although not cinematic perfection, this film is at the very least, light and easy to watch. If you're searching for a good romantic comedy to add to your collection--this is the one for you.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Very Slow Moving Story
Review: I had high expectations of this film, after all the press & hype it received when it was first released. The story concept was good, but it was extremely slow moving in many parts. I kept wondering how much longer before he let her know he was her online penpal. Sleepless In Seattle is a far superior movie, great storyline, characters you really care about & even the soundtrack is much better than the one for this film.
