Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) is an internet user that has met a man who lives in New York, just like her, and has daily conversations with him through Messanging programs. They use nicknames, and they don't know much about each other, not even their real names. Kathleen ownz a small book store that has been in the city for quite some decades now, it used to belong to her mother. But one day, a major book shop called 'Fox books' or something moves to town, and Kathleen's store looses almost all it's clients, and eventually it's forced to close.
One of the owner of Fox books, the owner's son actually, is Joe Fox (Tom Hanks), who happens to meet Kathleen in person and she doesn't seem to like him very much, since his store made hers close. What none of them knows, is that they are the 2 people who chat through the internet every night.
One day, Joe decides to meet this girl he has been talking to for so long, and they agree to go to a cafe. When he goes, he sees Kathleen sitting in a table, so he decides not to go inside, and he leaves without being seen. After that, he starts talking in real life about this guy she knows through the net (himself, of course), and he wants to make sure she likes him, but apparently that isn't the problem, the problem is she doesn't like Joe Fox very much.
So Joe has to work on that, he starts spending time with Kathleen, to the point where she is in love with both, Joe Fox and the man on the internet. So they decide to meet again, and when she sees it's Joe she's very happy because she actually wanted him to be Joe.
That is basically it. This is, as far as I know, the first film about couples that met each other through the Internet. It's pretty well done, and it's realiscit, nothing exaggerated in here. The performances were good, of course, the story was also good but at some points a bit boring. Nothing shocking, typical romantic comedy, but still it wouldn't be bad watching it once.
