Ausgewählte Rezension
Pleasant, warm-hearted fluff reworking 1940's "The Shop Around the Corner" (remade initially in 1949 as the musical "In The Good Old Summertime"). Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan reteam for the second time as rival bookstore owners in New York City: she operates a Mom & Pop bookshop, he's opening another outlet in his retail chain nearby. They lock horns over business, yet are unaware they are also each other's internet pen-pal. Slick and occasionally too-cute, too cookie cutter, but also an entertaining picture nicely set during the holidays. Ryan can't help but radiate personality and charm, though Hanks is curiously rote here (and he looks tired to boot),. Terrific supporting cast certainly helps, with Greg Kinnear, Parker Posey, Jean Stapleton and Steve Zahn making up a bright ensemble. Engaging, if you're not too demanding. *** from ****

Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesThe scene where Joe accidentally closes the door of Kathleen's shop on the balloons was unscripted. Tom Hanks actually did that, and ad libbed the line, "Good thing it wasn't the fish." Nora Ephron thought it was so funny that she kept it in.
- PatzerWhen Joe picks up the book Kathleen has brought at the café and says 'Pride and Prejudice, I bet you just love this book', it is actually the cover of Jane Austen's Persuasion.
- Zitate
Kathleen Kelly: [in an email to Joe Fox] The odd thing about this form of communication is that you're more likely to talk about nothing than something. But I just want to say that all this nothing has meant more to me than so many somethings.
- Crazy CreditsWhen the 75th anniversary variation of the Warner Bros. logo finished, the clouds and the 75th anniversary wordings is fading to the computer wallpaper with the words "WARNER BROS. PRESENTS", leaving the shield logo and then it zooms out to show a computer desktop, segueing into the opening credits, and the WB logo moves to the upper-left corner. The sounds of computers and fax machines playing over the logo.
- Alternative VersionenSeveral scenes were originally scripted and partly filmed but not included in the final cut:
- A scene in which Kathleen gets involved with two garbagemen and first gets tongue-tied.
- Extended scenes referring to the roof-top murderer including a love affair with George.
- A scene with Kathleen and Christina talking about falling in love.
- Extended scenes that characterize Patricia: a presentation of an author (the woman in the later elevator scene)
- Extended scenes that characterize Frank: he meets an famous author whom he adores.
- Scenes on Kathleen's and Joe's childhood.
- A scene in which Joe explains Annabel why the Shop Around the Corner had to close.
