The coincidences that make the destined lovers' paths cross aren't contrived with much finesse, but the characters get in some decidedly clever lines.

| May 27, 2011

Predictable-but-sweet romantic comedy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 29, 2010

The clumsily loaded characterisation not only treats almost every other figure as dispensable, but doesn't even bother to make Meg and Tom properly sympathetic.

Mail may not be as romantic as Sleepless, but it's wittier.

Full Review | Jul 21, 2005

A love story destined to be remembered as one of the best of the decade.

| Nov 6, 2002

Fully-stocked, well-oiled and soulless, You've Got Mail sure feels like a franchise operation -- all that's missing is a greeter and a discount card.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 12, 2002

Every time You've Got Mail is about to choke on its own cleverness, it's resuscitated by its extremely likable -- oh heck, let's just call them lovable -- stars.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 18, 2002

You've Got Mail has much in common with Sleepless in Seattle but ultimately pales by comparison.

| Mar 5, 2002

There's no denying the chemistry between Hanks, whose comparisons to Jimmy Stewart are becoming annoyingly accurate, and Ryan, whose schoolgirl cuteness is finally taking on a layer of matured confidence.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 14, 2001

The movie grows on you until you don't want to leave it.

Warm, smart, and funny!

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

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.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Nice!

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

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Like e-mail, this movie is a message delivery system, no more.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Hanks and Ryan are masters at making this kind of slight rom- com work, but even they run out of steam before the end.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Even if you already live on the Upper West Side, you might feel the urge to move there before the film is over.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 1, 2000

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.

| Jan 1, 2000

Winning romantic comedy and great date movie!

| Jan 1, 2000

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

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000
