Review of You've Got Mail (1998) by Julie%20 C — 16 Jan 2019
This is a great rom-com, much better than most of the films coming out of this genre today. And the cast is headlined by Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks who are an incredibly popular pair. You've Got Mail has the virtue of delivering exactly what's expected from it.
It's a feel-good movie that offers enough comedy and romance to warm the heart without risking a sentimental overdose. Fans of Sleepless in Seattle will almost certainly fall in love with the similar-yet-different nature of the production; only die-hard cynics will be turned off by all of the unabashed good will.
If there are messages to be found here, they're that romance is still thriving in our technological era, and that well-written romantic comedies starring Hanks and Ryan don't represent much of a gamble for the financing studio.
In their quest to assure that You've Got Mail is adored by movie-goers, the film makers have spared no expense. Believe me- this is movie romance magic at its best.
