Konterr Brilliant and touching

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

e-70733 Although Meg Ryan continued her consistent character and performance style in the film, she is still one of the few highlights of the film. The concept of the change of the old and new bookstores is very good, but the film has not been able to stick to the main line of conflict. Therefore, the old storyline occupies most of the film's time. In the delay of various insignificant secondary plots, the ending of the story has long lost its suspense.

mirkobozic "You Got Mail" is a warm, cozy movie, almost as much as Kathleen Kelly's(Meg Ryan) corner bookshop around which the plot is centered. The place has a cult status and fans that run to its defense when Fox Books, a large bookstore chain announces opening their own big bookshop across the street. The two main antagonists, Kelly and Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) soon clash over work ethics and the future of the little shop, which of course, eventually loses the battle. Both of them start an internet friendship without being aware of each other's identities, so two parallel plots start developing until they intersect in the finale. There's a great deal of comedy and great production design, which kind of makes you overlook the predictability of the plot (it's very clear where the whole thing is headed early on). The movie also addresses the issues small businesses are facing because of large corporations, making you root for the underdog, with the bookshop's homely atmosphere where you expect warm cocoa instead of designer frappucinos. There's even a nostalgic streak to it, with the dial-up tone and the AOL messenger, from the time Facebook& Instagram was still pure Sci-Fi. And one loves the movie for the amazing Manhattan landscapes as well, the brownstone interiors and a milieu of characters popular in Woody Allen's New York: writers, critics, publishers, artists. The whole movie makes you want to grab a good book and go to your neighborhood cafe. The supporting cast is brilliant, like Greg Kinnear. And it has to be said-"You Got Mail" has one of the best break-up scenes ever, where Ryan and Kinnear simultaneously confess they no longer love each other, just to jump to inquiring about new partners as if nothing had happened. I wish it was so easy in reality. My best recommendations!

capucinebrgs This movie is the ultimate heart-warming movie. Charming dialogues, beautiful actors and small doses of well-written humour make this movie an ode to the endless possibilities New York has to offer. Absolutely great movie to watch with family, as it truly brings people together. Each character is great - even the children - and You've Got Mail truly explores and portrays (with comedic but not in-your-face stereotypes) the different people that inhabit Manhattan: the intellectual, the businessmen, the rich families, the struggling young adults, the idealists... All with the message that appearances don't always make personality. The songs are great and the clothes are simple yet add character to the movie.

Greg Bern Unlike "84 Charing Cross Road" the writing (of letters) is largely incidental, and the real plot is 'will they get it together?' This of course means there is no suspense since in movies of this type the couple always gets it together. And so it is. This is apparently a remake of some earlier Hollywood hit and follows the romantic comedy formula perfectly, even down to the protagonists' compulsory best friends.The script is by Norah Ephron, and she does raise a laugh on occasion. When Tom Hanks introduces the children he is with to Meg Ryan, it turns out the 7 year old girl is his aunt and the 9 year old is his brother, the products of late second marriages by his father and grandfather (both still alive). "A typical American family" says Tom. I hope not - Dad and Grandad are pretty ruthless people. Recommended? Well, saw this one as an in-flight movie, so it was free. It could have been worse.
