Accustomed to romantic comedies (in particular, we owe her the iconic scenario when Harry met Sally), Nora Ephron reforms the star couple of her previous film, Sleepless in Seattle, in You have a message.
Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks now play Kathleen and Joe, both booksellers. The former runs a boutique with an old-fashioned charm, while the latter owns a chain of large bookstores that quickly wiped out its competitors. Both of them hate each other dearly, not knowing that they have started an online relationship anyway, under a pseudonym…
This 1998 romantic comedy is a remake of Ernst Lubitsch’s 1940 film Rendez-vous. Thus, the story is moved from Budapest to New York, in the middle of bookstores, not in the middle of leather goods, by email correspondence. – Mail instead of newspaper ads.
Despite the agreed-upon theme and predictable ending, You have a letter there is a classic of the genre, charming and upbeat, exploiting the undeniable chemistry of the acting duo. Note that Meg Ryan was nominated for a Golden Globe in the Best Actress category for her performance.
