Review of You've Got Mail (1998) by Naomi G — 15 Oct 2015

I wasn't even born during the AOL internet heyday but apparently the title of this film comes from sound made by the computers of AOL internet users when they receive an email. Emails are very important in this tale of long distance love.

The movie would have been much better with someone other than Tom Hanks, though I seem to be in the minority with that opinion because apparently this movie helped propel Hanks career to new heights. I don't know why Hanks seems miscast I You've Got Mail, I've liked some of the other films Hanks has been, I can't place my finger on why he doesn't work in this film.
