You've Got Mail (1998)

Funny, I don’t remember You’ve Got Mail being this sentimental. It’s disgusting really, but somehow, I always manage to fall in love with Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) in the end.

12 years later and You’ve Got Mail continues to be the standard by which romantic comedies are measured. Rom-coms have evolved—rightly so—and this one is dated. The iconic, now archaic ‘you’ve got mail’ and dial-up modem is a trip.

As I see it, You’ve Got Mail is a decent romantic comedy (I like Kate & Leopold better) that begs one question years later. Whatever happened to Meg Ryan?!
