Yes, this one is one of the best ever. Way to go!

Kathleen Kelly's (Ryan) bookstore is threatened by the new mega bookstore nearby- Fox Books. Joe Fox (Hanks) feels bad that he's putting Kathleen out of business, especially when he finds out that his secret email pen pal, with whom he has fallen in love, turns out to be Kathleen herself. Meanwhile, Kathleen is torn between her anonymous pen pal online and the charming Joe Fox.

Okay, I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!

And no review would do it justice. This is one of those long, quiet movies. You will love it.

And yes, it is a remake. The first was "Shop Around the Corner" (1940 -James Stewart), and then a musical of "Shop Around the Corner" called "In the Good Old Summertime" (1949 -Judy Garland).
