__Title:__ You’ve Got Mail

__Run-time:__ 1 hour 59 minutes

## Plot:
The plot was a rather simple romance story of a man and a woman meeting each other (virtually) and starting off as enemies only to eventually fall in love. The idea of a story that is centered around email was revolutionary when the movie originally came out but now it feels very dated and nostalgic. 

For a subject that has been explored thousands of times, the plot was surprisingly fast-paced and interesting. The entire idea of two people not meeting each other or knowing each other’s original identity till the end keeps you on the edge of your seat. 

All said, the script was fast paced, fun, logical and pretty realistic.

## Cast: 
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan were brilliant in their roles as protagonists. The leads are very likeable as Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly supported by a competent supporting cast who have since then done very well for themselves. Overall, it is a grade A casting supported by an excellent plot. 

## Visuals:
Many things tried out in this movie were revolutionary at the time of its release, including the opening credits, split screens and more. The movie really brought the NYC during Christmas vibe to life. 

## Music Score:
Both the OST and incorporated sound tracks especially during crunch moments were excellent. The music played really well on both modernity and nostalgia. 

## Overall Feel:
A very upbeat and breezy love story that will pull your heart strings and reward you bountifully for waiting patiently to a predictable but welcome climax.
