Reviews for You've Got Mail
You've Got Mail is a valentine to the happenstance miracle of lovers and other strangers, a movie that regards modern romance as something that is, ultimately, old-fashioned to its core.
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.
Another problem is chemistry; remarkably, Hanks and Ryan haven't any until the last few scenes.
Ryan and Hanks have more winning smiles than most people have expressions!
The whole movie goes bland and flat as a fast-food knish or a blank computer screen.
Um filme carente de atrativos como os que fizeram de 'Sintonia de Amor' uma pequena obra-prima entre as comédias românticas.
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.
You've Got Mail distills the essence of Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. It's a cute, funny, nice and ever-so-appealing romantic comedy.
You've Got Mail is a relentlessly practical movie, big business versus little business, strangers touching over the internet versus real life volatility.
It's a good date movie, and I recommend it. But don't forget to rent The Shop Around the Corner.
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.
a romantic comedy in the long tradition of Hollywood romantic comedies
There's no denying the on-screen chemistry between Hanks and Ryan, but still it never really seems to spark as much as it did in Sleepless in Seattle.
Succeeds because because it is such a refreshing dose of romantic fantasy -- and because it has such likable stars in Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
