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.

Reviews for You've Got Mail
It's a feel-good movie that offers enough comedy and romance to warm the heart without risking a sentimental overdose.
If you thought Hanks and Ryan were endearing in their previous teamings in 'Sleepless In Seattle' and 'Joe Versus the Volcano,' you ain't seen nothing yet.
At two hours, the froth on the comedy starts to dissolve like foam on a latte left standing all day.
Even if you already live on the Upper West Side, you might feel the urge to move there before the film is over.
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.
Boring, unoriginal, long-winded rehash of two of this writer's earlier scripts, based on the 1940 film entitled The Shop Around the Corner...
El amor traspasa las barreras de la cibernética para conquistarlo todo
Another problem is chemistry; remarkably, Hanks and Ryan haven't any until the last few scenes.
Delightful and uplifting, You've Got Mail is light as a souffle fresh from the oven.
