 Written on May 17, 2008 Summary: My #1 Most Watched Movie... I can no longer remember the first time I watched this movie as I've watched it countless times over the passed few years on video and now on DVD. Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) is the second-generation owner of a small but conventional children's bookstore in Manhattan. When her boyfriend leaves for work, Kathleen skips to the window and watches until she's sure that he won't be returning to retrieve something he may have inadvertently forgotten. Seemingly satisfied that he's on his way to the office, she scampers over to her computer and logs onto an ancient version of AOL where a masculine, computerized voice announces, "You've Got Mail!" She then settles down to read the witty and charming e-mail sent to her by her secret "pen pal"... The scene then switches to Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) as his voice-over reads Kathleen's e-mail. Joe seats himself at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee as Brinkley, the golden retriever who will eventually be the subject of one of his e-mails to his "pen pal", reclines on the pooch cushion. After Joe watches his manic girlfriend leave for the day, he heads back to his computer and logs onto AOL to see what "Shopgirl" has to say. Their online relationship is easy-going and enjoyable, and as their communication continues, they both suspect that they may have found their soul mate in each other. But as it turns out, Joe owns the mega-book conglomerate that is moving just around the corner from Kathleen's quaint little bookstore, a move that eventually costs Kathleen her business. How these two meet and the effect their professional lives has on their relationship are what make this movie a pleasure to watch. The chemistry between Tom and Meg is tangible, and the supporting cast adds to the movie's charm. After a long work week or a hectic day when I feel the need to watch something "happy", I reach for this DVD and escape into the simple and carefree world of Tom's and Meg's "You've Got Mail". Written on April 23, 2008 Summary: Classic Chick Flick You've Got Mail is a classic chick flick! A total feel good movie and one that I can watch over and over again! Written on March 19, 2008 Summary: Great flick This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It is not just a chick flick. I love Hanks and Ryan together. Well directed. Well written... Written on February 6, 2008 Summary: Hanks and Ryan Shine in a Slick But Charming Internet-Based Romance Ten Years Later in a Deluxe Edition DVD A 10th Anniversary DVD seems a bit vaunted for this familiar 1998 romantic comedy since it continues to play repeatedly on TBS and other cable outlets. It's no wonder since Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have the kind of ingratiating rapport that makes it easy to slip into one of their movies no matter what part you find yourself watching. Directed by the acerbic Nora Ephron, who helmed 1993's Sleepless in Seattle with the same pair, this movie gleams with the same kind of good-natured, Hollywood-style gloss that made the previous outing a hit. However, the pieces fit a little too perfectly for me, so much so that it feels packaged for maximum audience appeal. It really takes the combined skills of Hanks and Ryan to make this palatable, even likable, but it's not without its challenges. As with Sleepless in Seattle, Ephron, along with her sister Delia as co-screenwriter, attempts to update a tried-and-true film classic, this time Ernst Lubitsch's The Shop Around the Corner (1940), about two people who are concurrently in an antagonistic professional relationship and also anonymous pen-pals fantasizing who the other may be in real life. The novelty this time is that the story takes place at the dawn of the Internet age when people automatically set up AOL accounts with incognito screen names. E-mail and instant messaging have replaced the need for the postal system to exchange anticipated love letters. The story focuses on Joe Fox, one of the wealthy owners of a mega-bookstore chain called Fox Books, a doppelganger for Borders or Barnes & Noble. On Manhattan's Starbucks-saturated Upper West Side, he is opening one of his monstrous stores in the vicinity of The Shop Around the Corner, a specialty children's bookstore owned by Kathleen Kelly. Much of the movie has to do with her attempts to defend her antiquated turf and ward off the inevitable cannibalization of her small business. I actually found this part of the movie entertaining with nice tweaks in the verbal interplay on corporate greed. I especially liked the sharply scripted scene in the coffeehouse when Kathleen succinctly puts down Joe's business intentions. The other side of the film is the burgeoning love story between Joe and Kathleen on AOL where under their screen names `NYC152' and `Shopgirl', they find themselves bonding and falling in love. Similar to what occurs in the original movie and the Judy Garland musical remake, In the Good Old Summertime, Joe finds out who `Shopgirl' is before Kathleen realizes that he is `NYC152', allowing for an extended courting sequence from Kathleen's sickbed through the Union Square Greenmarket and other locales. Hanks is a more avuncular presence as Joe and not as manically funny as usual except for a funny scene where he attempts to hide his identity in her bookstore. As Kathleen, Ryan is sometimes on twinkle overdrive, but she manages to come back to her innate malleability as an actress, a quality not all that common among the subsequent generation of rom-com heroines (for example, Kate Hudson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days or Hilary Swank in P.S., I Love You). Most importantly, even when the material feels like retread, the pair has definite chemistry. The supporting cast is adept and filled with strong players - Parker Posey as Joe's self-obsessed book editor girlfriend Patricia, Greg Kinnear as Kathleen's intellectually pompous boyfriend Frank, a young Dave Chappelle as Joe's colleague Keith, Jean Stapleton as Kathleen's eccentric partner. The 2008 Deluxe Edition DVD maintains all the features of the previous 1999 DVD, specifically an entertaining commentary track by Ephron and producer Lauren Shuler Donner, a brief HBO short with Ephron, a music video of Carole King's "Anything at All", a music-only audio track, and an interactive tour of the filming locations in New York's Upper East Side. Unfortunately, there are no deleted or expanded scenes offered in either the old or new DVD releases. The print transfer on the new DVD is clean and vibrant, and there are two new featurettes offered as part of the package. The first is "Delivering You've Got Mail" where Hanks and Ryan - both looking good but not overly engaged - reminisce about the filmmaking experience a decade later. The second, "You've Got Chemistry", is really more about romantic comedy as a genre rather than anything particular about this production. Written on January 31, 2008 Summary: The Dog He steels the whole movie, being animal lover. Hanks and Ryan are great! But the dog is good too. |
