Directed by Nora EphronRated PG-13
1998
119 minutes
****
A remake of The Shop Around the Corner for the computer age, the film works fantastically for two reasons; the incredible chemistry between its two stars, and the strength of the fantastic supporting cast: Steve Zahn, Greg Kinnear, Parker Posey, Dave Chappelle, Jean Stapleton, Dabney Coleman are all fantastic, and manage to keep any scene where Joe (Tom Hanks) or Kathleen (Meg Ryan) aren't the main focus very entertaining. A surprisingly sharp script by the director (and her sister) rounds out one of the most entertaining romantic comedies of the 90s.
