Movie Review

Grade: B+ Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks have appeared in several films together, including the stupid Joe and the Volcano and the romantic Sleepless in Seattle. You've Got Mail can most easily be compared to Sleepless in Seattle, and in pretty much every case, is better. You've Got Mail is funnier, cuter, and more romantic, and best of all, the characters actually meet several times throughout the movie, instead of just at the end. Read the full movie review
