Trivia:
Both Kathleen and Joe used AOL software to connect to the Internet. They were both using version 4.0 which was in beta testing mode when the film was being made. moreGoofs:
Continuity: The clock behind the counter in Kathleen's store reads exactly 4:30 through the entire 2 minutes plus when Joe is purchasing the books. It shows different times in other scenes, so it's not stopped. moreQuotes:

This movie was so much better than I expected, which was a simple romantic comedy with predictable "pass each other in the street" scenarios throughout. I was pleasantly surprised to find a love story that touched my heart. Kathleen's vulnerability and pride in her mother made me cry and Joe's sensitivity and devious behavior were so very sweet.
I didn't think that Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan could pull off a romance better than they did in Sleepless In Seattle but I am happy to be mistaken.
