movie review - You've Got Mail

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Sydney, 2000.04.18

Having already seen Joe Vs. the Volcano (which I liked) and Sleepless in Seattle (which was okay), I'm not too sure why I watched this one. It's ably made, but walks where it should fly. Its slow pace and infuriating lack of conflict keep it from really achieving anything, and I found myself completely unsympathetic to the two characters.

Not recommended.

I really didn't foresee the Internet. But then, neither did the computer industry. Not that that tells us very much of course - the computer industry didn't even foresee that the century was going to end.

—Douglas Adams
