ruined by corporate product placement

A perfect example of how a film could've been a cute romantic flick, getting completely ruined by corporate greed.

The obvious product placement is how this film simply feels like a feature-length ad for AOL. And Tom Hanks seems to have this effect on several other films he's done, most notably that FedEx film 'Cast Away'. He's a great actor, but a complete sellout to the big busine... read more

Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks are at it again, join as they embark on yet another romantic quest this time with technological advances, local versus corporate business, and love in unexpected places.

Disappointing compared to 'Sleepless In Seattle'

Although I liked 'You've Got Mail', it's nothing compared to 'Sleepless In Seattle'

Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are good though and it is still far from being a bad movie, at times it is funny and I think it is worth your time

Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) is the big superstore Foxbooks owner. He opens up his store near many small book shops and runs them all out of business - including The Shop Around The Corner owned by Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan). Little do each Kathleen and Joe know that: even though they hate each other in person - through the Internet they are in love.

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1929 movies items)

" Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, back together again in a remake of the 1940 film The Shop Around the Corner, with bookstores being the focal point. Who knew, that into the future independent bookstores would be in danger of being over taken by big name bookstores? Then there is the film’s title, when at the time AOL owned stacks in Warner Bros. It’s corporate synergy, at it’s best and finest."

"First Viewing Plot: A book superstore magnate, Joe Fox, and independent book shop owner, Kathleen Kelly, fall in love through the anonymity of the internet. Neither of them knows who they're talking to online while Joe works to put Kathleen's store out of business. I felt it was appropriate to do a double feature of The Shop Around the Corner and You've Got Mail, and I'm glad that I did. Another "sort of" Christmas film for which only one part of the movie is set at Christmas (not to mention, "
