There’s nothing like curling up on the couch with some popcorn and a good rom-com. This genre is always lighthearted, with humorous plotlines that center on romance and ideals of true love, the “one”, and a fairy-tale ending. One of the romantic comedy greats is You’ve Got Mail, starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. A young Meg Ryan plays a sweet small business owner while Hanks plays her love interest, a big family business mogul. The film follows these two business rivals as they fall for each other anonymously online through a chat room and email, and eventually in real life.
