Romantic comedies are my really “cup of tea”, I’m feeling just fed up of explosions, vampires, intergalatic spaceships or something like that.
This film was warm, funny, smart and sexy, because when we see Tom Hanks talking to Meg Ryan on the Internet, we see another side of him, very different from the other side where he only want to open as many bookstores as he can and make as much money as he can doing so.
Of course, in person, Meg hates him for what he’s doing, but on the internet, she falls in love with him
This, in my opinion, is what makes the film work, as their reaction to each other in person is completely different from when they talk on line.
We may ask ourselves if we fall in love with a person because of who he is, or what you think he is.
Sometimes I think is difficult to answer that question, because we really don’t know the answer.
But besides all that I think that Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan light up the screen because they have more chemistry than a High School Science Department.
