So this is what the fuss was all about. Well I�d missed this movie when it was actually released and only got to watch it on Christmas Eve on HBO, so I was pretty excited and had rather high expectations. After all this is the movie that made Nora Ephron and Meg Ryan and it�s the movie that made everyone start to love romantic comedies.

To be honest, the concept really threw me. So the hero and heroine never actually meet till the very last scene. That�s rather new & cool. I liked it. Meg Ryan is adorable, so is Tom hanks and of course too his little son. And the constant references to the movie �An affair to remember� made me want to call up someone and say �let�s meet on top of the Empire State Building on Valentine�s Day�. Though I must say that post 9/11, that may not prove to be a very good idea.

Nevertheless, a likeable movie, specially if you forgive the vagueness, like how she actually falls in love with a guy she�d only heard on the radio � shall we call it love at first voice? Mind you its not that I don�t believe it could happen. Why not?

The beauty of it really is in the fact that as chance would have it, of all the fan mail he receives, his son likes only one, and as chance would have it, he sees her at the airport and knows that she is the one he wants. So as chance would have it, both father and son are actually for the very same person. Sigh. It is lovely.

I hope you see the similarity with You�ve got mail though, wherein also, as chance would have it, the person in the mails and the person she actually begins to like are one and the same.

Yes, I like Nora Ephron�s style. Simple and yet truly the kind of romance any woman would want to have.
