One of the best romantic, comedy family movie. A very special kind of movie which will touch to your heart.
The flow, situation, narration everything is perfect.
One of the finest performances by Tom Hank and Meg Ryan.
The basic concept of this movie is ‘how two persons bitching at each other in person but unintentionally flirting through e-mail.
Plot : Story revolves around Kathleen Kelly(Meg Ryan) and Joe Fox(Tom Hanks). Kathleen is owner of children bookstore. She loved her shop and do all kind of hard work to satisfy her customer. She is not so happy with her personal and love life. Her BoyFriend a self-centered newspaper columnist (Greg Kinnear) who’s his own biggest fan. To remove her loneliness she communicate with unknown person through mail(AOL.COM).Everyday she express her happiness, sadness through mail and the unknown person every time try to console her and help her.That Unknown person is Joe Fox, the owner of ‘Fox Books’ a megastore for Books.
Now the story take a turn. Joe Fox company planned to launch a bookstore right next to Kathleen’s bookstore. Due to this Kathleen will be in big trouble. She will loose all the customers. Now from here the fight to save the Kathleen book store starts and for this she took help of the unknown guy. Rest of the story will deal with the fight and romance between both the characters.
The best part is the screenplay and direction. If you hear the story then you may feel that Joe Fox(Tom Hank) is a bad guy but if you watch the movie then you will come to know that he was just doing the business. So here the writer has perfectly balance the role of businessman and a friend .The fight between TomHank and Meg Ryan are so natural and hilarious. Perfect balance between the scenes and dialogue delivery, expression all are superb.
Tom Hank and Meg Ryan both are the best actors and both of them justified their role perfectly. The maturity and perfection both are overwhelming. Playing two types of characters same time is a kind of risk but both Meg Ryan and Tom has done fabulous job. While watching the movie for sure you will love both of them.
Full of Love and hope, but it also has the good sense of not being too mushy. The dialogue is sharp and funny and the movie is sometimes even cynical.
Sound Track is Good and enjoyable.
There are some flaws in the movie like suddenly drastic change in the attitude of Joe(Tom Hank) after knowing the identity of kethleen(Meg Ryan) but that is required to proceed with the flow.
Overall I can say after watching this movie you will for sure smile.
