Once they meet in person, their clash immediately changes them, each taking on the other's attributes in some way. Simultaneously, they begin to deceive each other online, the sword of honesty is beaten into the plowshare of falsehood. Outside of these intriguing elements, this movie's got a bad case of the cutes. We all know that Hanks and Ryan suffer from a supernatural onscreen cuteness, and together their cute-osity expands exponentially. Though the leads don't interact with the rest of the cast as much as in the original, our pair is still backed up by cute character actors like Maureen Stapleton, Dave Chapelle, and Dabney Coleman.
Hanks has a cute dog.
Ryan has a cute staff. Coleman has a cute fianc . For we lonely souls that go to sleep each night with our faces buried deep in tear-stained pillows, these fantasies of the cute life where every scene is punctuated by cute pop tunes in the cute borough of New York are a bit too much. However, it's reassuring to see a story where two nice people can fall madly in love without even touching, and it all ends with a great big screen kiss. However, I would've liked to have seen a bit more realism in this movie.
