Part of the "March Movie Madness" challenge.
Pre watching You've Got Mail: I don't think it's possible to hate Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan more than I already do. So, what the hell, can't hurt.

I don't know why I wrote so much about this movie, but I did. So yeah.
"You've Got Mail" is a generic and outdated romantic comedy featuring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, who play two cartoon characters that fall in love over the internet, but hate each other in real life. See, Meg Ryan owns a small, independent bookstore which Tom Hanks runs out of business with his large, corporate bookstore. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are both in unhappy relationships prior to meeting online, which means that they cheat on their partners the entire time and the film doesn't seem interested in tackling that particular issue. Plus, this subplot allows for some wacky situations, because it turns out that…

My favorite part of this movie is when Greg Kinnear throws his hands up in the air and says, "Name one good thing thats ever come of technology!"

Sweet, warm though readable. Chemistry's great but the ending was a little drag, could be shorter. But overall a pretty sweet movie.

It's like a movie shaped hug.

They don't make romantic movies like this anymore.

Lighthearted with a NYC backdrop. Enough said.

No diría que odio las comedias románticas, simplemente no tienen efecto alguno en mí. Pero esta tiene un valor sentimental.
Mi personaje favorito de esta película no es Tom Hanks, ni Meg Ryan. Es New York. Esta es una de mis favoritas debido a que los protagonistas, AMBOS, POR SEPARADO. Viven mis dos sueños, ambos relacionados con libros y en dónde vivir.
Las actuaciones son buenas, el soundtrack es genial y la locación, lo digo de nuevo... ¡Me encanta New York! -
A poor advertisement for the its so-obviously-superior-it-makes-me-cringe-to-compare-them grandparent, The Shop Around the Corner--Meg Ryan's cute nose not withstanding. There is so little of actual consequence here that it trivializes the real struggles of people in bad relationships and difficult employments, not to mention that, barely a decade later, it is terribly outdated.

I'm glad Meg Ryan is dead, it's just a shame all those elephants were on the same flight.

Last time I saw this movie there were no tablets, whatsapp and skype. The whole has something from the olden days, which isn't bad. Technology has changed but so has the economy. Giant books stores like Fox books are not something you'll see nowadays. Most important thing is that the sparks still fly between Hanks and Ryan. That combination will never get old. Still my favorite romcom.
