You've Got Mail

Followed by a Q&A and Book Talk with Author Esther Zuckerman

Multiple Academy Award winner Tom Hanks reunites with his Sleepless in Seattle co-star, Meg Ryan, and director, Nora Ephron, to discover love at first byte in this online romantic comedy.

Strangers Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly live and work near each other on New York’s Upper West Side. Though involved in seemingly satisfying relationships, Joe and Kathleen meet anonymously in an Internet chat room and find themselves confiding their innermost secrets—everything except their identities. But back in the real world, the opening of Joe’s new Fox Books superstore a few blocks away from Kathleen’s little family-owned bookstore threatens their burgeoning romance.​

"The film's mix of romance and reading matter is seductive in its own right, providing comfy book-lined settings and people who are what they read and write."
Janet Maslin, The New York Times

  • Falling in Love at the Movies: Rom-Coms from the Screwball Era to Today: Romantic comedies have had an incredible influence on popular culture, shaping everything from how we think of relationships to fashion. Often swept aside in film history, these movies are thought of as pure comfort viewing. Although they certainly provide those fuzzy feelings, they have also had a significant artistic influence and cultural impact. Spanning decades of romantic comedies—from movies of the 1930s such as It Happened One Night and the rom-com craze of the 80s and 90s including When Harry Met Sally...all the way to contemporary hits like Crazy Rich Asians, and everything in between—Falling in Love at the Movies will make you fall in love (all over again) with romantic comedies.
