You've Got Mail (1998)
Directed by Nora
Ephron this film based on the play “Parfumerie” stars Tom Hanks
and Meg Ryan. Two New Yorkers that communicated anonymously through
email unknowingly become business rivals.
I found the previous
collaboration between Ephron and these stars to be a bit worrying and
there is some really odd behaviour in this rom-com too. Essentially
the protagonists start out having emotional affairs and towards the
end the male character tricks the female one by playing off his
online and real identity which is pretty messed up. There is some
charm to the film and it does seem ahead of it's time but the more
you think about the plot the worse the central characters look.
2/5
