what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I love Tom Hanks, and these old 90's rom-coms were so great, I love so many of them, like " While You Were Sleeping" and "Return to Me" ( right at the end of the 90's). For some reason, I hadn't seen this fully until my 20's. I thought " this should be sweet, endearing and a mainstay for me for years to come. I'm not sure if my thinking was right.... it started and about 10 minutes in I was very very bored, the pace just hadn't taken off.. so I gave it more time, and more time... to try and find anything funny, or that would make me want to keep watching and nothing. I found myself actually looking away, opening other tabs on my computer, scrolling my phone, and eventually I skipped parts until I could find something interesting. I did try to catch the end to say I'd seen it, and I wanted it to be lovable, it just wasn't there. Maybe if I had watched this when I was younger or had a special, nostalgic connection with it, I would think more of it, it just feel SO SLOW to me.

Two business rivals who despise each other in real life unwittingly fall in love over the Internet. You've Got Mail packs 2 great performances and a very sweet chemistry between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan and it's a pretty cute romantic tale between two people that fell in love in New York now besides that the film is nothing more with the rest of the cast just being there but not doing a lot of things and i'm not saying that this movie is bad or the cast is horrible it's still a pretty good film and Hanks impression to Marlon Brando from The Godfather was terrific but besides those 2 great performances the rest of the film suffers from poorly developed characters and something that we have seen before lots of times since then. (7.5/10)

"You Got Mail" is a warm, cozy movie, almost as much as Kathleen Kelly's(Meg Ryan) corner bookshop around which the plot is centered. The place has a cult status and fans that run to its defense when Fox Books, a large bookstore chain announces opening their own big bookshop across the street. The two main antagonists, Kelly and Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) soon clash over work ethics and the future of the little shop, which of course, eventually loses the battle. Both of them start an internet friendship without being aware of each other's identities, so two parallel plots start developing until they intersect in the finale. There's a great deal of comedy and great production design, which kind of makes you overlook the predictability of the plot (it's very clear where the whole thing is headed early on). The movie also addresses the issues small businesses are facing because of large corporations, making you root for the underdog, with the bookshop's homely atmosphere where you expect warm cocoa instead of designer frappucinos. There's even a nostalgic streak to it, with the dial-up tone and the AOL messenger, from the time Facebook& Instagram was still pure Sci-Fi. And one loves the movie for the amazing Manhattan landscapes as well, the brownstone interiors and a milieu of characters popular in Woody Allen's New York: writers, critics, publishers, artists. The whole movie makes you want to grab a good book and go to your neighborhood cafe. The supporting cast is brilliant, like Greg Kinnear. And it has to be said-"You Got Mail" has one of the best break-up scenes ever, where Ryan and Kinnear simultaneously confess they no longer love each other, just to jump to inquiring about new partners as if nothing had happened. I wish it was so easy in reality. My best recommendations!
