Summary: Better than expected but light fare at best
Review: Despite my misgivings for seeing two very typical characters in an all too contrived situation I found myself enjoying (not revering) the movie.Meg Ryan's portrayals really have a way of annoying me. They all seem to be so outwardly confident without having the experience to have really gained any significant wisdom about anything other than the most generic or mundane. Her portrayals are all too typical of so many ..... females today. And in the end she usually discovers how wrong her previous assumptions were. Hanks' character is likable (as always) yet unsympathetic. It's hard for me to really root for or care about the rich son of a retail book entrepreneur even despite his father's shortcomings. Nonetheless I enjoyed it more than I expected too. It's at least worth a look. Just don't expect a whole lot more than simple amusement.

Summary: 119 minute AOL commercial with a great plot.
Review: Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have to be one of the best recent movie couples. They work as well together in You've Got Mail as they did in Sleepless in Seattle. The fact that this was just a long commercial for AOL didn't spoil the movie. I suppose if you are an AOL user that you might enjoy it even more. This is a movie that spans the generation gap, my wife and I enjoyed it, and my parents enjoyed it as well. After seeing other net movies, this one lacked the network involvement that you would expect, but it was a good romance movie. The director Nora Ephron put this movie together very quickly, based on the Ernst Lubitsch classic, The Shop Around the Corner, with a 90's twist to it. Although the movie was created in a very short amount of time, it doesn't show through. I wouldn't have even konw this if I hadn't seen an interview with the director.

Summary: This is a wonderful movie
Review: I loved this movie. I am huge fans of both Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks and love all their movies that they are in together and seperately. Some critics said this was "Sleepless in Seattle" just done with computers and instant messaging. Well, I disagree. It's a great movie and any fan of either Tom or Meg will love it.

Summary: "akane" falls in love with "kagato" - true internet romance!
Review: Well, I had been wanting to watch this movie for a while. I love both Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks movies, with them together and apart! I had been told by a friend how YGM was good. So, I decided to get it...I got it today and absolutely love it! Oddly enough, this mirrored my own romance with my NOW loving husband Scott(Kagato). I was HIS Meg Ryan and he was MY Tom Hanks. But, we didn't hate each other and didn't live in NY. But, nonetheless, great movie! Totally recommend it if you are a Ryan/Hanks fan! And love romantic comedies.

Summary: Nice DVD extras
Review: I really liked the movie, but what I want to mention are the nice DVD extras. I especially enjoyed the commentary track by writer-director Nora Ephron. Then there is a section about all of the different places in Manhatten the film was shot in. I also liked learning about the history of the movie--that it is based on the 1940 film "The Shop Around the Corner" starring James Stewart. The DVD comes with a trailer for "The Shop Around the Corner" as well as the 1949 "The Good Old Summertime" which is apparently a musical version of the same story.

Summary: Wonderful film; even better if you've lived there
Review: "You've Got Mail" was probably the best movie of 1998. Shot in my neighborhood, the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the movie is actually based somewhat on a true story. In the mid-1990s, there used to be a small, specialized bookstore in the west seventies named Shakespeare and Co. Then a giant multi-level Barnes and Nobles opened in the low eighties, I think West 83rd St., and Shakespeare and Co. closed shortly thereafter. Now the neighborhood is stuck with the kind of superstore Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) referred to as 'big, impersonal, overstocked, and full of ignorant salespeople.' The movie is charming and, contrary to what people have told me, alot more interesting and well written than "Sleepless in Seattle." It does make an average Upper West Sider's apartment what in reality is a $730,000 place (unless it's rent controlled), but that's not bad. It's hard to criticize this movie because it's so fantastic and heartwarming you would have to be a total pessimist (or not a New Yorker) to hate it.

Summary: Absolutely not another Seattle!
Review: This movie was slow and did not have the same cute, warm-hearted feeling as "Sleepless in Seattle". I know it was not a sequal, but it was basically the same movie. I was very disappointed. Anyone renting this in hopes for another romance like "Sleepless", forget about it.

Summary: The only movie that i have enjoyed over and over and over...
Review: the internet has been in vogue for quite sometime now and so have been relationships on the net but uptil now hollywood hadn't come up with a good movie on the subject. well finally they do and what a movie it turns out to be. a very good family movie with an adorable cast and story. it highlights two very important aspects of life. firstly that love is a timeless feeling that makes its way into people's hearts even in today's digital age.secondly it touches upon the difference between appearance and reality. we all tend to form judegements based on the outward behaviour of others. this movie teaches us to reach beneath the surface and find the human being. I savoured each and every scene despite a very predictable plot. these are the kinds of movies that one likes to watch at the end of a long day not bloodshed and gore

Summary: You've Got...To Have This DVD
Review: You've Got Mail is one of the best Romantic Comedies I have ever seen. I have watched it so many times and yet still find new things about the movie. The DVD is excellent as it offers the viewer the chance to watch the movie with Nora Ephron's commentry. This is like adding colour to black and white. For those who have seen this movie and thought it boring, you didn't watch it. I thought it was a little slow when I first watched it but then I watched it again. You start to see how familiar they are with yourself. Everyone is Kathleen Kelly and Everyone is Joe Fox. Five stars plus.

Summary: You'll get it all!
Review: I recently viewed this movie and was pleasantly surprised by it. Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks have sweet chemistry! A love story with a 90's twist even. This is definately "date movie" material. I really liked this movie, and would watch it again.
