Summary: Cute but boring
Review: I saw this on an airplane and afterwards was SO glad I didn't pay to see it. Yes, Hanks & Ryan are cute (as is everyone else in the film); yes it's well done and NYC looks romantic and charming, and it's mildly amusing, but c'mon! There's not an ounce of suspense (will they or won't they?) or laugh-out-loud humor in this. And hardly any creativity -- everything from the actors, to the dialogue, to the scenery, has been done before. Even the email/technology angle isn't realistic. If you're feeling blue and looking for something fluffy, rent it or watch it on cable, but don't buy it!

Summary: Entertaining, but not as good as The Shop Around the Corner
Review: I thought it would be good to see Hanks and Ryan back together again, since their chemistry has been very good in the past. But Hanks is now showing his age rather more than in his earlier films, and so I wasn't as impressed by him as I have been previously.The updating of the original premise to an email 'friendship' was certainly interesting, and for the most part well done. The rivalry and dislike between the lead characters was well portrayed, but I didn't like the way Hanks' character discovered her identity and then decided to withhold his knowledge. He seemed to be sneering at her. The scene where Meg Ryan looks around Hanks' bookshop was very strange, too: what was the point of that? Was she supposed to be finding out that big is not necessarily bad? If so, why was that not referred to at all later? The denouement was disappointing: it just seemed to be badly scripted and handled, to me. But for an entertaining,if forgettable, evening's entertainment this is worth renting. Probably not worth buying, though!

Summary: feel good movie
Review: Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are "enchanting". They are unbelievably funny and charming. I've watched this movie so many times i know all the words, but i never get sick of it. I always leave the movie with a smile and a content feeling inside. You've Got Mail is a magical cure for the rainy day blues or just a movie to fall asleep to. You always want to watch it, especially when it is time to procrastinate.

Summary: YOU'VE GOT 2 GOOD ACTORS FOR A NOT SO GOOD STORY
Review: IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT RYAN AND HANKS GOT REUNITED TO DO THIS. I MEAN IT'S NOT ALL BAD YOU WILL LAUGH FROM TIME TO TIME BUT YOU WILL ALSO RAISE YOUR EYBROWS MANY TIME. THE 3 STARS ARE FOR THE LAUGHTS AND FOR THE ACTORS (ONE FOR EACH !) BUT SORRY I COULDN'T GIVE MORE.

Summary: This is no Sleepless - thank God
Review: I loved this movie, it was fantastic, the chemistry and the humour between Joe and Kathleen was wonderful. Unlike Sleepless it didn't drag out, the characters actually knew each other (and hated each other which only made it better) The supporting cast helped to make this movie great (who can forget Parker Posey freaking out over her tic tacs?) This movie is one of my favourites, along with When Harry Met Sally. They are both the kind of intelligent movie which can make you laugh and sigh all at the same time. Who wouldn't fall in love with either Hanks or Ryan after watching this movie?

Summary: There's still room for good old-fashioned NY romance
Review: Not so much a remake (or update) of the remarkable "The Shop Around The Corner" starring James Stewart, as a film that holds well on its own. The Ryan/Hanks chemistry is not quite so magical as in "Sleepless in Seattle", but it's there. Score and location a big boost, as well as the wonderful Jean Stapleton and the stand-out Greg Kinnear. It'll be ths sort of movie you'd fall in love in if you have seen "As Good As It Gets" or the James Stewart original. Except this time the big bad wolf wins (in spite of The Wicard Of Oz hints). 3.5 stars on my book, an extra half-star for Meg Ryan and the sheer fluffiness of it all...

Summary: Predictable, but sweet
Review: You Got Mail is a predictable love-hate relationship movie with a modern twist. From the moment Hanks and Ryan voice-over their first two email messages, you know that Joe and Kelly have got to get together, no matter how much they hate each other in person. The electric-as-usual chemistry between Hanks and Ryan saves the plot line from becoming tired and silly, and the musical score is fabulous, but unless you are a REAL fan of the romantic comedy genre (like me) I wouldn't recommend this one.

Summary: Sweet, Cute and Adorable
Review: I am a big fan of Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, so to see them re-united again after Sleepless in Seatle was really a pleasure. I thought that the film was very successful. All of the cast captured the audience and took them on a journey involving laughter, joy, and even saddness, and I found it enjoyable to sit and watch over and over again.

Summary: MEG RYAN AND TOM HANKS DO IT AGAIN!
Review: You've got mail is another perfect movie for those two wonderful stars. Meg and Tom belong on screen together, Sleepless was great but You've got mail was even better. It is a must see. Meg and Tom are rival bookstore owners, who just happen to be secret email loves. Romantic and funny, this movie is a must!

Summary: First of all...I loved this film.
Review: First of all...I loved this film. Okay, I know everyone is saying, "can you say Sleepless in Seattle"...well yes I can. Can you say, Spencer Tracy and Kate Hepburn? If the movie duo of the 60s can make numerous successful films playing similar roles, then so can Hanks and Ryan. Quite simply, this film was just great. I enjoyed every moment of it. I think Hanks played a great character who never lost his sarcastic wit, but gained a bit of charm. Meg Ryan was...well, Meg Ryan. This film is for everyone. Whether you see it in the theater or at home, just see it. Bottom line...while I felt like I was watching an AOL commercial at times, I was still able to receive the message quite clearly.
