Reviews for You've Got Mail
That Joe is smug, oily and a ruthless destroyer of small businesses, while Kathleen intolerably twee, makes for some rough sledding that the combined star power of Ryan and Hanks doesn't ameliorate.

You've Got Mail is a light and tasty little romantic recipe for the holidays.

Mail offers us a fantasy version of New York, the one we'd all like to live in, that only serves to enhance the film's genuine New York magic.

What a complete waste of time.

Of all the delights to be had while watching the enchanting romantic comedy You've Got Mail, none gave me more joy than the performance of co-lead Meg Ryan.

This film made me feel like a Christmas goose being fattened for slaughter. Its force-fed diet of whimsy cloyed long before the eagerly anticipated romantic payoff arrived to put me out of my misery.

Top CriticThe whole movie goes bland and flat as a fast-food knish or a blank computer screen.

Top CriticThe witty dialogue gets high gloss from two of the finest light romantic leads in Hollywood, whose chemistry was already proven in Sleepless in Seattle.

You've Got Mail provides a perfectly cuddly night at the movies!

Top CriticThe entire movie is glazed with syrupy sweet generic moments...that clash with the potentially enjoyable, devious grown-up comedy that nearly surfaces as Joe and Kathleen develop a flirty animosity as they continue to run into each other.

Ephron's updating of this material falls flat.

Ryan and Hanks have more winning smiles than most people have expressions!

Top CriticYou've Got Mail is a celebrity-powered wish-fulfillment, and that's okay. Sometimes it's enjoyable just watching nice things happen to nice people, even if the nice people involved happen to be movie stars.

It's handsome, professional moviemaking all around, just a little flat when it ought to soar.
01/01/00
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.
01/01/00
Consistently charming and delightful!
01/01/00
What a sparkling, sweet treat! It's the most romantic movie of the holiday season.
