You've got...the same again but with a new title

Movie review of "You've Got Mail".
Published on facebook.com, 6th May 2007.

When Harry Met Sally is a classic rom-com.

Sleepless in Seattle was entertaining. By the time of this movie the Hanks & Ryan partnership had become formulaic for me, and I was longing to see Ryan in something other than a cheeseball romantic comedy. Besides, it's difficult not to be distracted by Ryan's ever-enlarging trout pout, and the genuine statistical likelihood of her lips actually popping like bubblegum in an out-take.

This is just a more-of-the-same, cheesy, mushy, will they/won't they cuddly christmas movie with the inevitable happy ending. To be honest, I'd have liked this better if Ryan, Hanks, or both of them had been crushed under a massive pile of books or run over by an amazon.com truck at the end, just to make it a bit twisted. No such luck though. Maybe there'll be a pornographic one later, "You've Got Male"...
