Although Meg Ryan continued her consistent character and performance style in the film, she is still one of the few highlights of the film. The concept of the change of the old and new bookstores is very good, but the film has not been able to stick to the main line of conflict. Therefore, the old storyline occupies most of the film's time. In the delay of various insignificant secondary plots, the ending of the story has long lost its suspense.

"You've Got Mail" is a third pairing of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in a romantic comedy. This one also has some seriousness that gives it a more real feel. The plot is fairly original, and similar situations of big corporation versus small shops are common in real life. As Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly, Hanks and Ryan do very well at playing what become double roles. They have their personal encounters and then they have an encounter in cyberspace through email. This is a fun and entertaining film. It may be the first movie to show the use of email. Popular use of the Internet for email began in 1996.

I grew up on the west side of New York City, so this is like going home to visit, and hanging out with my friends Meg and Tom. This is such a kind movie, and it gives me hope that compatibility is possible. It is 2018, 20 years after this movie was made, and I'm on plenty of fish, doing that you've got mail thing at age 66. If you have a mushy bone in your body, watch this movie, especially if you have a honey. It's just great.

A woman's book store for children is threatened by a big book supermarket which offers greater variety and discounts so she asks for help from her online friend, whom she speaks via mail. She gains his trust and begins fighting for her beloved shop but it's going to be a big struggle which seems to have no hope. To add more pain in the equation, her virtual friend is going to provide a couple of unexpected surprises which she will have to face as life becomes harder and harder. It's a romantic comedy which features a warm but also sad atmosphere in which the main characters face their struggles. It has emotion, drama and happiness but the very predictable and simple finale spoils the overall experience. Still, it's a very good and enjoyable movie to watch with your family.
