You had to know it was only a matter of time before
Tom Hanks,
Meg Ryan and
Nora Ephron were reunited for another attempt at recreating the success (fourth highest grossing movie of 1993) of their previous teaming-up -- Sleepless in Seattle. Well, here it is.
This time out Hanks plays Joe Fox, the executive of a large chain of mega-sized bookstores whose latest outlet is about to open up across the street from a small children's bookstore owned by Kathleen Kelly (Ryan).
Afraid of losing her very livelihood, Kelly detests Joe and the Wal-Mart, Chapters, bigger-is-better corporate, consumer culture he represents. But, unknown to her (and to him), this is the same man she has been having anonymous electronic conversations with on her computer that have become -- for both of them -- wonderfully engaging and romantic.
This is actually a remake of the 1938 Ernst Lubitsch comedy The Shop Around the Corner, and the earlier play Parfumerie.
Reminds me and him of how we feel.. cept that i have someone already.. so sad but yet so adorable
This is a wonderful feel good movie, in which the always beautiful Meg Ryan has perfect on screen chemistry with Tom Hanks.
After so many years I still watching it on the TV rerun. IT is still one of my most favourite tom and meg combo movies. Need not to say I am keeping the dvds of all 3 of them. Sleepless in seatle the no 1, You`ve got mail no 2 and Joe verse the Volcano last.
