Possible spoilers
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan - the 3rd round. Their first film "Joe versus the volcano" (1990) was an adventure/love- story with a touch of fantasy - a flop, unfortunately. Just for one reason: it came out in summer 1990, and they didn´t have a chance against "Pretty woman". In 1993 they had a 2nd chance in "Sleepless in Seattle" - a blockbuster which was released in the same month as "Jurassic Park". Possibly the most romantic comedy of the 90´s! The movie had its own charme, just because it was so old-fashioned! And now "You´ve got mail" - also directed by Nora Ephron - which continues the tradition of "Sleepless in Seattle". I guess the expectations were high. And these expectations were not ecxeeded - but satisfied! The happy ending of "Sleepless..." was more magic, because Tom and Meg didn´t meet until the end, while the happy ending of "You´ve got mail" in the park was maybe a bit too calculated - but who cares? Nevertheless it´s a damned cute movie! It´s not better than "Sleepless in Seattle" - which had even more "sugar" - but very close too it!
Sweet, heartwarming fluff.
