You've Got Mail delivers all the wit, charm and warmth you'd expect from a reunion of the stars (Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan) and director (Nora Ephron) of Sleepless In Seattle. Greg Kinnear, Parker Posey, Jean Stapleton and more talented co-stars add perfect support to this valentine to modern-to-modem romance in which superstore book chain magnate Hanks and cozy children's bookshop owner Ryan are anonymous e-mail cyberpals who fall head-over-laptops in love, unaware they are combative business rivals. You've got rare Hollywood magic when You've Got Mail.
 
"Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan should win the Nobel Prize for chemistry!"  Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today
"A fresh, funny, heartfelt comedy--you never want it to end!"  Jeffrey Lyons, WNBC-TV
"The best romantic comedy of the year!"  Maria Salas, CBS-TV

 


Editor's Note

Based on the classic film THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER, this tale of pen-pal romance has been updated for the internet age. Tom Hanks plays a book mega-store owner who falls in love over e-mail with the owner of a struggling children's bookstore, played by Meg Ryan.

Professional Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
"...[An] ultimately seductive romantic comedy..." -- Rating: B 01/22/1999 p.83

USA Today
"...[The film] speaks volumes about the disturbing lack of intimacy in our megaeverything times..." -- 3 out of 4 stars 12/24/1998 p.4D

New York Times
"...An inviting love story....[Hanks] continues to amaze. Once again, he fully inhabits a new role without any obvious actorly behavior....[He] also makes fine use of the film's comic opportunities..." 12/18/1998 p.E1

Box Office
"...Hanks and Ryan certainly have chemistry....Warm and funny..." 02/01/1999 p.62

Total Film
"...The New York locations are superbly used..." 10/01/1999 p.108

The New York Times 9 of 10
[Meg] Ryan, Tom Hanks and the archly funny Nora Ephron join forces...to make an inviting love story that entangles a man, a woman, a couple of computers and a New York neighborhood so picturesquely idealized that it feels like Paris...The essence of that place, its populace and this precise moment in our technological evolution are captured so endearingly here that You've Got Mail becomes a New York story reminiscent of early Woody Allen romances, turning the characters into charmingly neurotic products of the place they call home. - Janet Maslin

Carole Greene from Indianapolis,Indiana  
With actors like Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, there is nothing that can go wrong with any movie. This is an overwhelming movie that I could not help but to watch it five times in two days! There should be more movies with these two together. It's hard not to love them. Great job to you both!

5 of 5 Excellent Tuesday, May 18, 1999
pnbuchanan from Brentwood, TN  
Certainly the best romantic comedy of the year. Funny, inventive, and cute. If you do not come close to crying for joy at the end, you have no emotion in your body.
