I first watched this movie on TV a few months ago. I've watched it many times since, and also bought the DVD.
The leading roles in the movie are played by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Both have excellent acting abilities. Onscreen, they show great chemistry.
The two meet in an internet chat room. They develop a close friendship despite agreeing not to reveal any personal information to each other. In reality, they are both in the book business and are rivals. Over the internet, they seem perfect for each other.
You've Got Mail is a remake of the classic Shop Around the Corner with a modern twist. The choice in music and settings is interesting; most, if not all, of the songs are oldies and many of the settings have an antique-ish feeling. They provide a creative contrast to the internet plot.
In general, You've Got Mail is a refreshing and charming light-comedy/romantic movie. I highly recommend it for any audience. |
