I may have to get that out of the library sometime. I really didn't think it was very good at all, paling by comparison with "Sleepless in Seattle". Then I got "When Harry Met Sally" nice and cheap, and realized that "Sleepless" was like a high school play in comparison. The Ephron sisters are mostly doltlike most of the time, IMHO.

Yeah, no cars blow up. Chick Flicks.

Mostly doltlike most of the time --- that's intense doltism!

The repeating convenient storyline of conveniently loveless and therefore amicably broken convenient prior love relationships in "Sleepless" and "Mail" which facilitated the true love relationships was a simple tool and signified shallowness in the characters and expediency to the happy ending we all waited too long for.... and both movies neglected all of that nasty relationship development stuff which happens after the big moment of discovery.
Pulp romance fiction. Same formula.
