I watched this with my girls who had never seen it. And was reminded why I take absolute delight in this movie every time. It has so much CHARM in it. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are at their best. I only had it on VHS so bought the DVD so I could share it with my kids.
The writing is so good. Not too contrived and sweet as tea. But clever too. And since I love books the setting of her little bookstore just gets to me.
And you just can't beat the chemistry of these two, they are so believable as a twosome.

Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly-sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.

Nope nope nope
Charming is an American President.
I am not a Meg Ryan fan.

Although this is a charming movie, I preferred When Harry Met Sally. Love me some Bill Crystal.  |

I agree that it is charming, but not nearly as charming as Local Hero. And if you've never seen Local Hero, then seek it out. A real treat awaits you!

I agree they have chemistry, but would never classify cheating as charming.

Meg Ryan cheated on her husband with Russell Crowe. Hadn't heard anything about her and hanks.

Thanks for the idea. Just dug this out of the archives and showed my two girls. They loved it!  (It was released the year I graduated from HS!  ) |

I agree they have chemistry, but would never classify cheating as charming. What do you mean? Who cheated? Didn't both characters in the movie cheat on people? Tom Hanks was living with Parker Posy and Meg Ryan was with someone else too, iirc. |

Not a fan of this one but if I had to pick a charming chick flick it would be Heart and Souls with Robert Downey Jr and Elizabeth Shue.

I can't look at a daisy and not think about that line. Love it. I think charming is the perfect word for the movie.

They broke up with them before they started getting to know each other. It felt like emotional cheating to me, in that movie. I liked Sleepless in Seattle better. |
