Yet another film full of cliches from Ephron but there's some sympathy for the characters that's earned and, at least as it progresses, it's willing to be somewhat messy and conflicted. Of course in the end everything is tied up in a neat little package, but still.

A horrible perversion of the classic "Shop Around the Corner," this is the only pro-corporate, anti-small business romantic comedy I know.

It's just pleasant, man. It's like waves lapping up against the shore or something, y'know? Cause it's like, they're e-mailing each other and they don't know, and everyone's reaching out and connecting. Kind of like us bonding. It's beautiful.

Really not as bad as people make it out to be. It's harmless and fun. Hanks and Ryan always have a nice chemistry and this was just showcasing that. It's basically an updated version of Sleepless in Seattle.

"Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, a very likable Greg Kinnear...you think you're better than it, like 'Ooh this movie's going to suck,' but then you watch it and it becomes a part of you," says Ron Garner (Seth Rogen) on "Undeclared". Actually, I think the movie is pretty annoying, but if you're sick with the flu or something and aren't going anywhere for a while, it will suffice.

Why oh why is this film two hours long? Sure, the two leads are likeable, and I like watching them on screen, but everything feels stretched out. This is also the perfect definition of a mediocre film. There's nothing in this that I hate, but there's nothing that I love (well, the casting is great).

Much better than i expected, the supporting cast is excellent, but the picture is sometimes flat & goes on too long. Thankfully we dont spend all our time gazing at computer screens, but there are plenty of montages to make up for it.I do get this creepy sinking feeling that the message made is big corporations that crush small independent busineses are actually part of the order of things & they aren't really bad.

Once again, it's time to tap the chemistry between Ryan and Hanks. And once again, they deliver. The battle between bookstores is a great counterpoint to the growth of the relationship. Jean Stapleton is a riot too.

I had relatively high hopes for this because Sleepless in Seattle is one of the few romantic comedies I actually like. This is more stupid than that, but it's still not as bad as so many other rom-coms.

A poor advertisement for the its so-obviously-superior-it-makes-me-cringe-to-compare-them grandparent, The Shop Around the Corner--Meg Ryan's cute nose not withstanding. There is so little of actual consequence here that it trivializes the real struggles of people in bad relationships and difficult employments, not to mention that, barely a decade later, it is terribly outdated.

You know how some people are comPELLED to avoid "difficult", emotionally charged situations at all costs? Whoever wrote this is one of those people. EVERY single potential conflict resolves itself/is resolved by the universe before ever getting to the point of being uncomfortable. EVERYTHING goes right via the path of least resistance. A comedy for unintended reasons. Are all these romcoms like this? (not my usual genre) ...and i've tripled the length of the second longest review. booyea

Pretty cute, especially Tom Hanks' attempts to act like a bad guy (which he's completely incapable of doing; it adds to his appeal). The AOL stuff was outdated by the end of the decade.

This movie radiates good chemistry as Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are perfectly cast as anonymous emailing friends who fall in love over the Internet. Also helped by a great score, good writing and a noteworthy supporting cast (including the dog).

It's peak quaintness, and Tom Hanks is kind of a jerk for once. (His likability is not jeopardized, and he is ultimately the most charming he's ever been) The rewatch-ability factor is strong; each time, I'm left sated by completing a well-rounded journey. There are a couple of lines of dialogue along the way that hit me so hard that I reflect on them often. It is pure joy.

The dated email motif fortunately stays in the background, so the first two acts end up being quite engaging, with the leads exuding charm and chemistry in a dramatic irony plot that's fleshed out really nicely in the clever cinematography, thoughtful voiceovers, and online vs. offline character development. The third act adds emotion ("Do you ever feel you've become the worst version of yourself?") but also discomfort with the halved irony and weird end to the big box vs. small shop sub-plot.

An utterly charming rom-com that inevitably echoes SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, but is far more successful (and romantic) than the earlier film by allowing Hanks and Ryan to do some mega-watt sparking off each other. Peppered with a lovely supporting cast (go John Randolph!) and a witty and clever Ephron script, which even manages to make the par-for-the-course contrivances seem fresh and believable (especially the moments of revelation for Hanks and Ryan).

I absolutely detest Meg Ryan as a screen presence, so it almost pains me to admit this is not as bad as I expected it to be...rather less putrid than "Sleepless in Seattle". This is not to say it's actually good, mind you. Saved in large part by the inherent likability of Tom Hanks (certainly not his depth or acting ability). And modern-day New York City has never looked so beautiful and inviting.
