You've Got Mail 1998

Not going to lie, it's not my favorite genre. But it's not the worst movie to watch if you're looking for some light-hearted entertainment. And another confession. I had a huge crush on Meg Ryan way back. There is also a lot of nostalgia involved. If you're old enough to remember how it was to sit in front of your computer and wait for a connection you know what I mean. Those sounds are burned into your brain. But it's also a bit funny how people back then were eager to get mail. How it still was something special. Today smartphones are giving notifications about everything almost every minutes depending on your status of connectivity. And a lot of people are annoyed by it but we still take them with us everywhere. And I'm not excluding myself from that equation.
Anyway, a nice little movie that, despite being two hours long, didn't feel boring. Tom and Meg have great chemistry and the humor is still good and not forced. Yeah, it's generic and clichéd but many movies today still are.
I don't think it's something I would watch over and over, but once every 10-15 years ? Why not.
