1998, 1 hr 59 min., Rated PG. Dir: Nora Ephron. Cast: Tom Hanks (Joe Fox), Meg Ryan (Kathleen Kelly), Parker Posey (Patricia Eden), Greg Kinnear (Frank Navasky), Jean Stapleton (Birdie), David Chappelle (Kevin Scanlon), Dabney Coleman, (Nelson Fox), Steve Zahn (George), Heather Burns (Christina).

Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks again get to hear from every American movie goer how much chemistry they have together and what a cute couple they make. However, I'm sure their spouses are tired of it by now!

In Sleepless in Seattle they meet after his story is made famous on talk radio. In You've Got Mail it's romance over the Internet. What's next? Newspaper personal ad? How about them being news anchors at competing stations? With the success of the two, I think it's safe to say that Director Nora Ephron will ensure the two are paired again in a few years.

By 1998 many people should be able to name a friend or associate who carried on a 'net romance. Several confined the relationship to the computer, while others decided to meet and take a chance. Some of those were instant failures, or developed into friendships. But those few connections are what gives chat room regulars hope.

My father is one of those, meeting Danielle from Michigan in a civil war chat room. They were married over a year ago and after some early doubts, I think me and my siblings have accepted and enjoyed our stepmom's company, no matter her young age.

I've never had the guts to even pretend to extend a web romance or friendship into real life. The closest I've come is meeting Katie from Atlanta; a sweet, Christian, Berry College grad who attends a church that I'd been planning on visiting long before we met. Good coincidence. But I have no plans on even thinking of asking for more than friendship (mainly because I have no self-confidence but I'm not sure I'd even want a relationship right now).

The supporting cast is decent, but doesn't really add anything. Parker Posey's hyped up on cappucino the whole picture, Greg Kinnear is lovable as usual and a great supporting actor, Ryan's co-workers are sympathetic and Dabney Coleman makes for a decent rich father.

I have to say that I enjoyed Sleepless in Seattle more. It flowed better and the ending provided a more satisfying "chills" moment. But I still enjoyed the film and it gave me a sense of hope that we all have that one person that completes us.
