Here's the main and completely irrelevant reason to love this movie: New York City in the fall. Honestly, it should have no bearing whatsoever on the plot, but it does -- and it's impossible not to fall in love with the bright, sunshiny, orange-leaved sheer beauty of the city encapsulated in this movie. Without even resorting to shots of Central Park in all its glory (and really, who can resist that?), "You've Got Mail" takes you on a lovely scenic tour of the Upper West Side, Starbucks and all. Who can resist the street fairs, the parks, the stores, the dock? It's picture-perfect, and if it's a bit surreal, I won't admit it: New York really is rather lovely in the fall.

Aside from making me want to run away to the Big Apple and work in the children's section at Fox Books, "You've Got Mail" also features Meg Ryan at her most adorable ("Aren't daisies just the friendliest flower?"), Tom Hanks at his most charming, and a terrific supporting cast (Greg Kinnear and those typewriters!). The story, a modernized little "remake" of "The Shop Around The Corner", is more fairy tale than realism -- two people fall in love over email, in war in real life, and however can such a thing be solved -- but it's an enchanting story nonetheless. In a time when romance on the web seems all-too-seedy and in reality, sometimes frankly dangerous, this little tale of two people sharing their most intimate thoughts long before they share a single glance is like a breath of fresh air. Sure, the technology's a little faded, but the magic's still there.

Not so much a remake (or update) of the remarkable "The Shop Around The Corner" starring James Stewart, as a film that holds well on its own. The Ryan/Hanks chemistry is not quite so magical as in "Sleepless in Seattle", but it's there. Score and location a big boost, as well as the wonderful Jean Stapleton and the stand-out Greg Kinnear. It'll be ths sort of movie you'd fall in love in if you have seen "As Good As It Gets" or the James Stewart original. Except this time the big bad wolf wins (in spite of The Wicard Of Oz hints). 3.5 stars on my book, an extra half-star for Meg Ryan and the sheer fluffiness of it all...

I really enjoyed You've Got Mail because it was good story combined with two great actors(Hanks and Ryan). I have now seen the movie many times, and I am still yet to tire of the film. This movie has a heartwarming plot with characters that you can really come to like. It is nice to see a film once in while that doesn't focus on extreme violence and other disheartening aspects. I recommend it highly for anyone interested in seeing a movie that makes you feel better and witness a good plot.

I just finsihed watching this movie and it *greatly* exceeded my expectations. I really didn't know what to expect, but since I am a Tom Hanks fan, I figured it couldn't be THAT bad. And to be honest I was pleasantly surprised! The reason I gave it four stars as opposed to five is because I felt the ending was rushed just a little bit too much compared to the rest of the movie and because of the few too many "product placements". Other than that I really enjoyed this movie. I would reccommend this movie to anybody who likes Meg Ryan or Tom Hanks or any body who wants to watch a 'cute' movie with a significant other on a rainy day!

The package arrived on time, and was in good condition. I have yet to watch the movie to make sure it doesn't skip and it is the right movie! I'm not sure what "O-Sleeve Deluxe Edition" is supposed to mean, but I'm fairly certain that's not what I received!

I have never heard of different regions for dvd's or anything else. Any body that I 've asked has never of REGIONS for buying a dvd. This should be made in larger print on your ads that it will only play in a certain part of the world.

A must for love story buffs, Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks make it all look so simple. They have a great chemistry on screen and personalities that make you want to be friends with them. The characters are fun and believable. A awesome loves story and feel-good movie

Bought this for my wife because this is one of her favourite movies. Good for a one time watch.
Movie quality is good. No problems with Video and Audio.
"You Got Mail" movie also comes with a bonus movie from 1940, "The Shop Around the Corner" which influenced the newer one.

You've Got Mail is about two people (man and woman) who believe they trully love each other through emails, but when they meet at restaurant they find it hard to love each other because they are actually both book store owners or workers in competition. But in the end they love each other any way.

One of the sweetest movies I've ever seen. Meg Ryan is a beauty and for those of us who love NYC, it was a treat. I've watched it several times and am so glad someone sent me a free copy because I probably would not have been interested in it. The music was great and it was just an upbeat movie that makes you feel good.
