Top Critica romantic comedy in the long tradition of Hollywood romantic comedies

You've Got Mail is a timely romance for this impersonal, computer-driven decade.

The movie grows on you until you don't want to leave it.

Better than Sleepless in Seattle
01/01/00
Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron's screenplay is adequately warm and funny, and the characters sufficiently charming, to draw audiences in to the unlikely but ultimately engaging love affair.

There's no serious problem that would keep me from recommending the movie, but if you want a more organized, more serious, more humorous and more organic film, watch the similar Sleepless In Seattle.
01/01/00
Pretty typical Ephron: shiny to look at, with myriad clever moments, the whole thing awash in more sentiment than Frank Capra ever dared.
01/01/00
A sweetly sentimental romance that shrewdly capitalizes on the foolproof allure of its stars.

This slick and entertaining film scores some salient points about the mixed attractions of online dating and the perils of modern relationships.

You've Got Mail is a valentine to New York's Upper West Side neighborhood, a center of liberal, well-educated individuals who patronize a plethora of megastores and independents as well.

As warm and cozy as a cuddle under a favorite old quilt.

There's no denying the chemistry between Hanks, whose comparisons to Jimmy Stewart are becoming annoyingly accurate, and Ryan, whose schoolgirl cuteness is finally taking on a layer of matured confidence.

Top CriticIt's a feel-good movie that offers enough comedy and romance to warm the heart without risking a sentimental overdose.
01/01/00
light and romantic, funny, charming, and easy to sit through

This film enchanted me, and even if it did work for me slightly better as a comedy than as a romance, it's still a great comedy -- and Ryan and Hanks are teriffic.

If you thought Hanks and Ryan were endearing in their previous teamings in 'Sleepless In Seattle' and 'Joe Versus the Volcano,' you ain't seen nothing yet.
