Having enjoyed "The Shop Around the Corner" (which was an adaptation of the 1937 Miklos Laszlo Hungarian play "Parfumerie") and the Broadway musical adaptation, "She Loves Me", writer/director Nora Ephron and producer Laura Schuler Donner wanted to create a modernized version featuring a romantic comedy centered around love found on the Internet but yet using elements from Ernst Lubitsch's 1940 romantic comedy".
And having struck gold with romantic comedies that starred actress Meg Ryan in "Sleepless in Seattle" and "When Harry Met Sally" and the amazing chemistry between Ryan and Tom Hanks in the 1993 film "Sleepless in Seattle" and the 1990 film "Joe Versus the Volcano", the filmmaker would reunite the two talents for her 1998 romantic comedy "You've Got Mail".
The film which can be seen as a sign of the times as it utilized then-popular Internet provider American Online (AOL) and it's popular trademark e-mail greeting "You've Got Mail", "You've Got Mail" would become a major hit in the box office as the $65 million film would earn over $250 million in the box office and would go on to also achieve success in the home video market.
And now both the original Ernst Lubitsch 1940 film "The Shop Around the Corner" via DVD and "You've Got Mail" (via Blu-ray) was released together in January 2012.
VIDEO:
"You've Got Mail" is presented in 1080p (1:85:1 aspect ratio) and unfortunately it is a film that slightly shows its age, yet there is enough detail and better colors that makes this version much better than the previous DVD releases.
First the bad. There are some moments where the film looks oversaturated and also soft and there are moments where you do see artifacts popping up once in a while. While it shows up a few times, most people will probably not be bothered by it. But for those expecting a pristine version of the film, it does have its issues which can be seen on a larger monitor/screen.
With that being said, the film still looks better than its previous DVD counterparts. The colors tend to pop much more, you can see the skin pores on Tom Hanks' face during closeups and while some areas look its age, some don't and look very good. So, for the most part, this is the best looking version of the film thus far. It may not be the pristine picture quality that I was hoping for, but nevertheless, it does look much better than the DVD version.
As for "The Shop Around the Corner", the film looks absolutely wonderful considering it is a 71-year-old film. The contrast levels are good, the film source looks very good for its age and I didn't detect any major problems with video quality at all. Grays and whites are well-contrast, black levels are nice and deep and for the most part, the presentation of "The Shop Around the Corner" looks good on DVD. Too bad, this classic film it was not converted to a Blu-ray release.
AUDIO & SUBTITLES:
"You've Got Mail" is presented in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, Dolby Digital Francois and Espanol 2.0 stereo.
For this romantic comedy and like most films of the genre, most of the lossless soundtracks tend to be center and front-channel driven with mild use of surround channels for ambiance. The same can be said about "You've Got Mail". Primarily, everything is center and front channel-driven and dialogue and it's musical soundtrack is crystal clear.
As for "The Shop Around the Corner", the film's dialogue is also clear and didn't notice any more hiss or crackling during my viewing of the DVD.
Subtitles are presented in English SDH, Francois and Espanol.

EXTRAS:
"You've Got Mail" comes with a DVD version of the classic Ernst Lubitsch 1940 romantic comedy, "The Shop Around the Corner".
JUDGMENT CALL:
I'm not afraid to admit that I am a big fan of Meg Ryan's hit romantic comedies and especially enjoy the chemistry and pairing of Ryan along with Tom Hanks.
Back in the 1930's through the 1950's, there were Hollywood couples that would light the screen in multiple films, for today's modern films, there really hasn't been American couple other than Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, two talents that viewers fell in love whenever they were together in a romantic comedy.
And like many people who couldn't wait for "You've Got Mail" to be released in theaters, I was among the many who look forward to watching the film. For one, I love Nora Ephron romantic comedies and how she is able to focus on character but also incorporate the city that a film is shot in.
She has an eye for location but also knows what she wants from her talents and Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have discussed how Nora Ephron's direction is much different than other filmmakers. And for Ephron, her love for the Ernst Lubitsch classic "The Shop Around the Corner", especially for her passion towards the Broadway musical "She Loves Me" would lead to romantic magic for "You've Got Mail".
But back in 1998, this film was highly anticipated because I enjoyed watching Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan together, watching a Nora Ephron film but interesting enough, I also had a similar experience of meeting someone on the Internet with similar circumstances as the characters featured in the film.
And I was there to buy the first DVD release of the film and here we are 14-years later with a Blu-ray release of "You've Got Mail". And where films such as "When Harry Met Sally" and "Sleepless in Seattle" are not dated due to technology, "You've Got Mail" manages to date itself with old technology via modem connection, old product placement during a time when American Online (AOL) was on top of Internet providers and also during a time when mega bookstores were not threatened by the emergence of online bookstores such as Amazon.
But still, despite the older technology and the fads of the time, I was not turned off by it. In fact, I was nostalgic of how things were back then.
But "You've Got Mail" still manages to captivate me as it did back then. Sure, it was not my favorite Meg Ryan romantic comedy especially when compared to "When Harry Met Sally" and "Sleepless in Seattle" but there is a magic that exists in the film, because of the wonderful chemistry between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. The two can literally take on these characters and bring amazing life to them, making them believable and entertaining to watch. And also Nora Ephron's ability to make the locations and the music selections compliment the characters as well.
Also, the film managed to bring in a pretty enjoyable supporting cast with Parker Posey, Dave Chappelle, Steve Zahn, Heather Burns and Dabney Coleman. But also "You've Got Mail" would feature actor Greg Kinnear ("As Good as It Gets", "Ghost Town", "Little Miss Sunshine") and "Grey's Anatomy" actress Sara Ramirez before they became popular.
Also, I was impressed at the time of how the Ephron sisters were able to modernize the film from its original predecessors. I absolutely adore Ernst Lubitsch's 1940 classic "The Shop Around the Corner" and I'm so glad "You've Got Mail" was not a remake. Sure it incorporates certain situations that were seen in the original film, but for the most part, everything was new and everything worked.
"The Shop Around the Corner" is simply a wonderful romance film that is different in the fact that both lead characters work in the same gift shop but there is also a dramatic element as the shop owner thinks the lead character Alfred Kralik (played by James Stewart) is having an affair with his wife. But this classic film is a wonderful feel-good romantic comedy that has managed to stand the test of time, even over 70-years-later...I'm still enjoying this film no matter how many times I have watched it. And while not on Blu-ray but on DVD, the film still looks very good on DVD!
While the Blu-ray release of "You've Got Mail" and its video quality does show the film's age due to softness and also some instances of artifacting, there is still a good amount of detail and beautiful colors that make this Blu-ray release worth owning and worth upgrading from the DVD release. If you were an owner of the first DVD release, a lot of the special features do make it onto this Blu-ray, but also the inclusion of the 2008 10th anniversary reunion between Nora Ephron, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in the featurette "Delivering You've Got Mail" (which was released in a later DVD release of "You've Got Mail").
Also, the biggest addition for me which I absolutely loved was the inclusion of Ernst Lubitsch's 1940 romantic comedy, "The Shop Around the Corner". While a DVD, not Blu-ray...still you are getting two films when you purchase the "You've Got Mail" Blu-ray release and for hopeless romantics, the fact that these two films are included is fantastic! And did I mention that you can find this Blu-ray release for under $10 on Amazon? Awesome!
Overall, "You've Got Mail" is still as delightful and highly entertaining as when I first watched it in theaters back in 1998. Sure, things have changed a lot in technology and also economic settings when it comes to the mega bookstores in today's society, but Internet romance is much more prevalent today than it was back then and more and more people are discovering love online, so the film still has relevance today.
If you love romantic comedy films, you're going to enjoy "You've Got Mail" on Blu-ray for the fact that you get two films for the price of one and if you enjoyed the film back then and owned the DVD, you're definitely going to want to upgrade to Blu-ray. It's a wonderful deal and both films are highly recommended!

Eine Geschichte, die aus dem Leben gegriffen sein kann. Zwischen Vorurteil, Missverständnis und Happy-End Spannung und Anregen zum Nachdenken. Klar ein Denkzettel gegen Vorurteile, mit denen man sich zu leicht das Glück im Leben verbauen kann. Hier wandte sich alles zum Guten.
Je suis trop contente de l'avoir retrouvé
